Game Forfeits– Game forfeits do to a no show will automatically result in a 1 to 0 score.  The team causing the forfeit will automatically be assessed the loss.  Games ending prematurely due to a referee decision, or a team leaving the ice will automatically end with a loss being assessed to the team causing the forfeit and a win to their opponent regardless of the score.  If the opponent of the forfeiting team had been winning then the score will remain as is, if the opponent was losing then the score will revert back to a 1-0 score.  Teams causing forfeits under these circumstances will no not be eligible for semifinal or championship games.

Tiebreaking Rules for Advancement to the Semi-Finals (Example)
When teams are tied in points, the tiebreaking rules are applied to determine first, second, third, etc. Each seed (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.) is determine one at a time starting with the 1st seed.  Once the 1st seed is determined we repeat the process with the remaining teams starting with head to head.  If three teams are tied and team 1 beats team 2 , and team 3 did not play either team 1 or 2,  team 2 would be removed from that round of seeding, and team 1 and 3 would still be considered tied.  We then use least goals against to break the tie between team 1 and 3.  During the next seeding round team 2 would be reconsidered for placement.  Here is another example, three teams are tied with four points.  In head to head play team 1 beats team 2, and team 3 tied both team 1 and team 2, and team 1 has 8 goals against, team 2 has 10, and team 3 has 9.  Under this scenario, all three teams are tied with 4 points apiece (Rule1), so head to head (Rule 2) is applied.  Since team 1 beat team 2, 2 team is eliminated from that round of seeding and team 1 and 3 remain tied.  To break the tie we move to least goals against (Rule 3).  Since team 1 has 8 goals against vs. team 3 who has 9, team 1 would take the 1st seed.  For the 2nd seed we restart the process without team 1, leaving team 2 and 3 tied.  Since head to head does not apply we move to least goals against.  Since team 2 has 10 and team 3 has 9 goals against, team 3 wins the 2nd seed.  We repeat the process until all teams are seeded or eliminated.

Tiebreaking Rules for Semi-Final and Finals Games
Semi-final and final games tiebreakers are decided by overtime periods structured as follows:

Period              Players                                                                              Time

5                        Four on Four                                                                    3 minutes running time with goalies
6                        Three on Three                                                               2 minutes running time with goalies
7-10                  Repeat periods 4-6 until there is a winner         each period is two minutes without goalies
