- Medals will only be awarded to teams playing in final games.
- In accordance with Ringette Canada guidelines, the U10 and below tournament formats will be jamboree style. This means all teams will have an equal number of games and there will be no medal rounds.
- If a final or semi-final game is tied at the end of regulation play, the following procedure will apply: The teams will immediately commence a stop-time, sudden victory period of 5 minutes. Possession of the ring will be determined by the tossing of a coin by an on-ice official. The team winning the coin toss will get the free pass and the other team will get the choice of ends. If still a tie, then a sudden death Shootout with three (3) shooters per team to declare a winner. Note that a team cannot use the same shooters from the original three (3) until their lineup has been used up, excluding the goalie.
- During round-robin play, teams will receive two (2) points for a win, one (1) point for a tie and zero (0) points for a loss. At the completion of round-robin play, teams will be ranked according to total points in all games played. The breaking of ties in the standing at the end of round robin play will be according to Ringette Canada rules for “Breaking of Ties in Team Standings”.
Breaking of Ties in Standing (RC rules): When two (2) or more teams have an equal number of points after completion of the round robin games, the highest of the tied teams will be determined in the following order and considered the “official score” of the game: - The winner of more game (s) between each other during the round robin will be declared the highest position. If all tied teams have not faced each other refer to item (b). If still tied, the team having the greatest positive difference between goals for and against in games between the tied teams in the round robin will be declared the highest position.
- If still tied, the team having the least total of goals against in games between the tied teams during the round robin will be declared the highest position.
- If still tied, the team having the greatest positive difference between goals for and against in all games during the round robin will be declared the highest position.
- If still tied, the tied team with the least total goals against in all games during the round robin will be declared the highest position.
- If still tied a coin toss will be used to break the tie. IMPORTANT NOTE: This procedure will be followed in sequence until the tie is broken (i.e., One team is eliminated from the tie). Once one team is eliminated from the tie the procedure reverts back to (1).
