44		Major	5 minutes
45		Misconduct	10 minutes
46
47	•	Each team is permitted one time-out per game.
48
49	•	Starting Time/Warm Up Period
50		A) Teams should be ready to enter the ice surface for the warm-up period up to ten minutes
51		prior to the scheduled start time. If the tournament is running ahead of schedule teams are
52		expected to be ready to play.
53
54		B) Warm-up time shall be three minutes.
55
56	•	Zero Tolerance
57		Referees will be instructed to strictly enforce zero tolerance rules. MYHockey Tournaments and the host arenas
58		reserves the right to remove from the arena players, coaches or spectators who violate USA Hockey
59		zero tolerance policies.
60
61	•	Game Misconduct Penalty
62		Any player or coach receiving a game misconduct penalty shall be suspended for the next tournament game.
63		There are no exceptions to this rule.
64
65	•	Match Penalty
66		Any player, coach or manager who receives a match penalty shall be suspended immediately for the balance
67		of the tournament. There are no exceptions to this rule.
68
69	•	Game Suspensions
70		Suspensions resulting from game misconducts, match penalities, or any other circumstances, which
71		are mandated by USA Hockey or Tournament Rules will not be overturned by the Tournament Director or
72		MYHockey Tournaments under any circumstances. Players, coaches and parents should be fully aware of the
73		potential consequences of their actions at all times.
74
75	•	Protests
76		Protests of games shall not be accepted or considered for any reasons. Decisions of on-ice officals are final.
77		Decisions by MYHockey Tournaments related to game suspensions and tie-breakers are final.
78
79		Games may be stopped and ended if, in the judgement of tournament officials, continuing play is deemed
80		to be not in the best interest of the tournament, participants, specatators, officials, etc. The final score and
81		outcome of the game will be decided solely by MYHockey Tournaments based on the current score, time
82		remaining and situation which lead to suspension of the game.
83
84	•	Game Points
85		Teams will be awarded points in round-robin play according to the following:
86		A) Two points for a win
87		B) One point for a tie
88		C) Zero points for a loss
89
90		Forfeits
91		When a team forfeits a game for any reason, all games in the preliminary round for that team, played or not,
92		will be officially recorded as a 3-0 loss for the purposes of determining tournament standings. A team forfeiting a
93		a game is not eligible to play any semi-final or championship games. It should be noted that the purpose of this
94		rule is to absolutely discourage forfeits for any reason, as this causes another team to miss a tournament game.
95		Entry fees will not be refunded to teams forfeiting any games
96
97	•	Tournament Standings (additional explanations below)
98		Standings will be compiled by the tournament director and staff and posted at the rinks. Teams will be
99		ranked within their tournament division by the total number of points obtained. In the event of a tie,
100		final standings will be determined by the following criteria:
101
102		a) Head to head competition – With 3 or more teams tied, all teams must have played each other and there must
103		be an obvious winner. If not we skip Head to Head and go to Most Wins.
104		b) Most wins
105		c) Goal differential (5 goal maximum differential for a single game) involving only the tied teams, if all tied teams have played one another
106		d) Goal differential (5 goal maximum differential for a single game) in all games.
107		e) Fewest goals against in games involving only the tied teams
108		f) Fewest goals against in all games
109		g) Fewest Penalty Minutes
110		h) Coin Toss
111
112	•	Tie games/Tie breaking procedures
113		Each team will receive one point for a round-robin game that is tied at the end of regulation play.
114
115		If a semi-final or championship game ends in a tie the following tie-breaking procedure will be followed:
116
117		a) 5 minute sudden death overtime period (4 on 4, plus goalies)
118		b) Shootout (5 players/team – each player may only shoot once) – most goals wins
119		c) If shootout ends in tie, sudden death shootout until winner is decided (each team must
120		continue through their roster until all players have taken a shot. If the shoot-out is not
121		decided, players will continue to shoot in the same order as their first shots.)
122
123	•	Additional Explanations for Tournament Standings Tie-Breakers
124		If multiple teams are tied, as we move down the list of tie-breakers, we will never move back to the top of the tie-breaker list. For example, if three teams are tied and head-to-head and most wins do not settle the tie, but goal differential between the tied teams decides a winner, ties between the remaining teams will be decided by moving down the list to goal differential between all teams, fewest goals against, etc.
125
126		Head-to- Head Tiebreakers: With three or more teams tied, it will be very unusual for the head-to-head tie-breaker to apply. All tied teams must have played each other and there must be a “obvious winner” of the tiebreaker. One exception to this case is if three teams, Teams A, B and C are tied, and Team A has defeated both Team B and Team C, Team A would win the head-to-head tie-breaker whether Teams B and C have played each other, or not. If Teams B and C have played each other and are still tied, the team that won the head-to-head match-up between teams B and C will advance. If Teams B and C have not played each other, we would move to the goal differential tie-breaker.
127
128		Goal Differential Between Tied Teams: If three or more teams are tied and if all of the tied teams have played one another and the Head-to-Head and Most Wins tie-breakers do not provide a winner, goal differential involving only games between the tied teams will apply. If Teams A, B, and C are tied and all have played each other and either the same or different other opponents, only the games between “A and B”, “A and C” and “B and C” will be used to calculate goal differential between the teams. The team with the greatest goal differential will advance. If all tied teams have not played each other, then the next tie-breaker, goal differential in all games will decide the winner.
129
130		Fewest Goals Against Between Tied Teams: If three or more teams are tied and if all of the tied teams have played one another and the Head-to-Head, Most Wins and Goal Differential tie-breakers do not provide a winner, fewest goals against involving only games between the tied teams will apply. If Teams A, B, and C are tied and all have played each other and either the same or different other opponents, only the games between “A and B”, “A and C” and “B and C” will be used to calculate goals against for each team. The team with the fewest goals against will advance. If all tied teams have not played each other, then the next tie-breaker, fewest goals against in all games will decide the winner.
