             teams always place after division winners.

6)     OVERTIME in final games shall be conducted in a series of 10-minute sudden death overtime periods.

        During all these overtime periods, teams will play with 3 skaters plus a goalkeeper. Substitutions are

        allowed. When a penalty would result in one team having less than 3 skaters, the penalized team shall play

        with 3 skaters and the other team shall add one (or two) player(s) for the duration of the penalty, returning

        to the proper number of players at the first stoppage in play following the expiration of the penalty.

7)     The team manager or coach must check in at the tournament office at the Pembroke Memorial Center one

        hour before their first game with their official team list approved by their District Registrar. Teams may change their

        roster at this time, provided they have acceptable documentation. Teams may register their full team roster.

       Teams with less than 19 players may register pick-up players, but pick-ups cannot bring the roster above

       19. Teams must have original signed documentation for all pick-up players.

8)    Games may start, and teams must be ready to go on the ice, 15 minutes before the scheduled game time.

       All  warm-ups, pep-talks and team rituals shall take place before the team goes on the ice. Teams will be

       allowed only a 2-minute warm-up on the ice prior to the game. Undue delay could result in a delay-of-game

       penalty against the offending team.

9)    If the goal spread between two teams reaches 6 goals or more, running time will be used instead of stop

       time, aslong as the goal spread remains at 6 or more goals. The game returns to stop time if the goal

       spread reduces to 5 or fewer goals.

10)  Teams are asked to leave their dressing room in a neat and clean condition within 30 minutes of the

       conclusion of their game.
