Tournament Format
- 2 day knockout tournament
- Day 1: Game 1 (4 chukker game) & Game 2 (Round Robin)
- Day 2: Game 1 and Game 2 winners advance to the finals. The 3 runners up will play a match game round robin
Tied Match Games
If teams end their game in a tie, then the tie will be broken with a shootout:
-- 1 player (either professional or amateur), alternating teams, will shoot Penalty 3s. After all players have hit, the team with more points is declared the winner. Should a tie remain, ALL PLAYERS will hit again, until a winner is declared.
Round Robin Rules:
The winner of the Round Robin is the team with the best won-lost record.
- A win will count as 2 points
- A tie will count as 1 point
- A loss will count as 0 points
In the event of a won/lost tie at the end of the Round Robin, the order of finish will be determined using the following method:
1. Based on net goals
2. If net goals are inconclusive, then gross goals
3. Lastly, if both net goals and gross goals are inconclusive then teams will follow the “shoot out” procedure
- Shootout procedure: 1 player from each tied teams will shoot penalty 3s only.
