Coaches: Get in all of your scores and any revisions to posted scores as soon
as possible of they will be locked into place. We need to finalize the scores so that the playoff standings can be determined.
Playoffs: Your league playoff will be a single game and will be based
on your final standings. In other words, 1st place will play 2nd place, 3rd place will play 4th place, etc.
Please show up at least 15 minutes before the first game so that we can make sure that all of your registrations are
in and can go over the new rules.
Please check the new rules before the season starts.
We will be posting them on the Rules Page. Basically, we are going to more of a hockey officiating system. If
you trip someone you will get a two minute penalty regardless of your intentions. There is now a five minute major penalty
that can be imposed. The team will be penalized 2 minutes but the player must sit out 5 minutes. Two 5 minute
penalties against a player in the same game will result in an ejection. Please read the rules so that you see all of
the changes. The goal is to make the calls less subjective, to penalize teams who consistently foul (they will play
short a lot) and to give the referees the ability to sit a player down for 5 minutes to cool down instead of having to jump
up to a game ejection.
Please remember that these are "fun" leagues - this
is not life and death. Everyone needs to be able to get up in the morning to go to work, nobody wants to get hurt. As a
result, we do not call the game like a World Cup game. This is the equivalent to a "no check" hockey league. It
is not about strength, it's about moving the ball. We will protect players around the boards. We will protect the goalies.
We will not allow players to run over players.
Each team must have a coach/team leader who emails
to your league coordinator the scores and result of your games. We will then post the standings. If you want
to keep track of goals and assists for your team, e-mail them along with the score and we will post them to your team and
league stat's.
Have a great season!
The Open Adult has 10 teams playing on Tuesday (3 games) and Monday (2 games) evenings.

Each team is required to report game scores within 48 hours of their game to their League Coordinator. Failure
to do so will result in your score being recorded as 0 for that game.
