League Setup
1.) There will be ONE game clock that will start when the games are scheduled. If one team does not have enough players they can choose to play man down or wait for their teammates to show up. After the first five minutes (if they choose not to start man down) the short handed team will be penalized a point every two minutes. After fifteen minutes the team must play man down or forfeit the game.
2.) Half's will only be 25 minutes. This is the general game setup (Times may change from year to year)
First game
Game starts at TBD 5 minute halftime
Second half at TBD 5 minute overtime (sudden death)*
Second game
Game starts at TBD 5 minute halftime
Second half at TBD 5 minute overtime (sudden death)*
Third game
Game starts at TBD 5 minute halftime
Second Half at TBD 5 minute overtime (sudden death)*
*If no goals are scored in sudden death the game will end in a tie.
3.) There will be "refs" at the games but this is not due to immature play or problems but as per the request of some of you to help smooth transitions during and between games. They will also be in charge of making calls which will still be loose and only calling major penalties. This is only a summer league and we are all here to be competitive but to have fun as well. Once the player is out of the field of play (they may still be walking off the field) the whistle will blow to begin play. Since the games are running time every penalty is 2 minutes. The refs do have the authority by me to throw anyone out of a game with no questions asked. They will report back to me at the end of every game and issues will be dealt with me. I believe in their judgment and what they say goes. FIGHTING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED you will be immediately asked to leave.
Games will be starting promptly so warm-ups should be done off the field to allow quicker play once the teams are finished.
I have heard there were some players with wooden shafts these are not acceptable during play and if we see a wooden shaft I or the ref will ask you to switch sticks.
