Schedules

Q: When will the schedule be ready ?

Schedules will be drawn up as soon as we have a full complement of teams for that

particular week-end. We usually have the schedules ready by the end of October.

Q: When will we get a copy of the schedule ?

Once the schedule is made, the convener will call you to inform you of your game times.

The schedule will then be posted to this website and a hard copy will be

mailed to the contact person named on your registration form.

Q: Who makes up the schedule ?

It is the convener's responsibility to draw up the schedule.

Q: Can we request changes to the schedule ?

Once the schedule is made ( not an easy task ), there will be no changes.

Q: Can we request scheduling times ?

If you have any scheduling concerns, please contact your convener ASAP. It is much

easier to schedule around a particular problem, than try to rearrange a completed

schedule.

Q: How is the schedule made up ?

a) Once the teams are determined, each convener will divide the teams into their

groups ( usually of 4 ). Every effort here will be made to keep teams that play each

other during the regular season separated. This is sometimes unavoidable.

b) Teams are not seeded in any way.

c) We like to get every team to play at least one game on the Friday.

d) To accommodate 40-44 teams, we must start at around noon on Friday, and 7:00am

on Sat. & Sun.

e) Each team will be given at least one home game, and try to arrange at least one game

at each rink.

f) Championship games are scheduled around 4:00 - 8:00 pm on Sunday.

The conveners are asked to perform a very difficult balancing act in drawing up these

schedules, so keep in mind that there will be four 7:00 am games and probably four

10:00pm games.
