10 Team Division – Top four teams advance to Semi Finals (1v4, 2v3).
Rules:
There will be a two-minute warm-up before each game; the curfew clock will start once the referees are on the ice.
All games will consist of 10-10-10 stop-time periods OR a 50 Minute Curfew Clock, whichever comes first.
A mercy rule will apply if there is a five (5) goal spread in the score at any time in the third period, in which case the clock will convert to running time. Stop time will be resumed if the goal spread becomes 4 or less once running time has started.
If an infraction occurs during running time, the clock stops when the penalty is assessed, and running time resumes at puck drop. Penalty durations during running time are as follows:
Minor penalties in running time will be three minutes.
Major penalties in running time remain five minutes.
There is no overtime or time-outs in round-robin play. Penalties for delay of game will be strictly enforced by the referees.
Teams will be allowed one 30 second time-out in Championship games only.
During the round robin, games will end within the allotted time of 50 minutes regardless of how much time is left on the scoreboard clock. During playoffs, teams will be allowed to complete all 3 periods.
Overtime
There will be no overtime in round robin games.
For Semi Final and Final games, ties will be settled with a single five minute stop-time sudden death period. Each team will be reduced to 3 on 3 play. Penalties are carried over into overtime (although a team can have no fewer than 3 skaters on at any time).
There will be no change of ends, and no break, between the end of the regular time and the start of overtime.
If the score is still tied after the overtime period, the tie will be broken by a simultaneous shootout. Before the start of overtime, each coach must submit the names of three players to participate in the shootout. All team members must have taken a shot before any player can shoot again. The shootout is the best of three, with the fourth and subsequent shots sudden death after each team has had an equal number of shots on net. If still tied after each player has shot, players shoot in reverse order.
