Two games will take place at the same time at each end of the ice surface. The neutral zone will be for tournament officials.
Each team consists of a 5 man roster which is to be submitted over e-mail. I will post each teams rosters on this site as they come in.
A player can only play for the team that his name appears on the roster. Failure to ice a team will result in forfeit.
Providing we have 24 teams register, there will be 6 divisions of 4 teams. Each team plays a round robin within their division.
Top two teams from each division advance to Championship Sunday (12 teams in total ).
Top 4 teams of tourney get a bye; next 8 playoff to decide who plays top 4 ( single elimination )

Rules

Fair play will be enforced at all times. Any rough play may result in your team being suspended from the tournament and any future tournaments.
A chalk line will be laid for center ice. The game will begin with two center men taking a face off. The only stoppage of play will occur if someone is injured or there is a penalty. There will be game officials. There is no offsides or icings; it is continuous play for the entire 15 minutes. If a penalty does occur, the player will serve a two minute penalty and play will become 3 on two.
When a team does score, the team that scores must retreat behind the center ice line and the scored on team has 15 seconds to get the ball out of the net and proceed before the scoring team can cross center ice and attack.
When the keeper freezes the ball, the attacking team must back a minimum of 15 feet away from his net so he can play the ball off to his teammate.
As mentioned earlier, your lone sub can be made on the fly.
The game concludes once the two 15 minute halves have been played.
Games can finish in a tie in the Round Robin Segment.
Prizes

Championship Team has all 5 names etched on the Silverking Cup
A cash prize will also be awarded to the Championship Team ( This will be determined once all teams are registered )


And as always - "BALLS TO THE WALL!"
