Tournament Format
All teams will play a total of 5 games (3 Round Robin and 2 playoff games).
- Each team plays each other once in Round Robin.
- Teams play 3 Round Robin games.
** Round Robin games will only have 4v4 OT (time permitting), no shootout.
- Teams are ranked by points (2pt win, 0pt loss, 1pt tie or OTL).
- Semi-final: 1st ranked team faces 4th ranked; 2nd faces 3rd.
- Winners play for “1st Place”; losers play for “3rd Place”.
** If a game ends in a tie during the semi-final/final rounds, there will be a 4v4 sudden-death overtime (time permitting, changes on the fly only), followed by a 3-player shootout (teams can repeat shooters once one team's roster has cycled through).
