Tournament Format
All teams will play a total of 5 games (3 Round Robin and 2 playoff games).
- Each team will play each other once in round robin.
- Teams will play 3 round robin games.
Round Robin games will only have 4v4 OT (time permitting), no shootout.
- Teams are then ranked by points (2pt win, 0pt loss, 1pt tie or OTL).
- The 1st ranked team will face off with the 4th ranked team, and the 2nd ranked team will play the 3rd ranked team.
- Winners of the semi-finals play for 1st place; losers play for 3rd place.
** If a game ends in a tie during the semi-final or 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).
