 If the championship game is tied after the three periods there will be a 5 minute sudden death overtime.

  • If still tied a shootout. Best two out of three.
  •  If still tied, sudden death shootout. The same player cannot shoot twice unless the entire team takes a shot.

Scoring and Points:

There will be a score and time keeper each game logging on the game sheets.

Tie-Breaking Rules:

In case teams are tied on points after all games:

 1. Head-to-Head

  • Team A and Team B both have 6 points at the end of all matches.
  • Team A defeated Team B in their head-to-head match.
  • Therefore, Team A would be ranked higher than Team B in the standings due to their superior head-to-head result.

2. Least Penalties
3. Fastest Tournament Goal
4. Coin Toss
