2016 IceBreaker Tournament Program

President’s Welcome

Greetings Ringette Community!

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Burnaby New Westminster Ringette Association 2016 IceBreaker tournament. We are proud to offer you an opportunity to display team camaraderie and sportsmanship, while demonstrating skills and athleticism.

To the players, I would like to extend a warm welcome to our tournament. Though Ringette is a competitive sport, at the end of the day, it is not the wins or losses that you will remember. It will be the new friendships made on and off the ice, the laughs you share with a teammate or that praise you received for a job well done these are the memories you will carry with you all your life. So remember to be respectful to others, play safe and have fun!

A personal thanks to our Tournament Director, volunteers and board members who have contributed countless hours in creating this special event for you. It is no small feat so early in the season. I’ve had firsthand experience watching it all come together in the hands of a few dedicated volunteers. I am truly grateful to all of you … THANK YOU.

We look forward to another exciting and fun IceBreaker Tournament! Bring your very best to every game and in every moment. We look forward to hosting you.

Tournament Rules

IceBreaker is a BCRA sanctioned tournament all BCRA rules apply.

1. Teams must be ready to go on the ice 10 minutes before the game time and be ready to start playing within 5 minutes of the game start time. In the event of unforeseen circumstances that affect a team‘s ability to start their game within 5 minutes of the scheduled start or adjusted starting time, the on ice officials shall declare a default. The Tournament Directors will make a decision to reschedule or not based only on exceptional circumstances as outlined in Section 2.5 (a) of the BCRA Policy Manual.

2. There shall be no more than five (5) team staff allowed on the bench at any one time. At least one female head or assistant coach must be on the bench (must be 18 years of age or older if only female on the bench or is the Head Coach). Please note that having a female manager on the bench and no female coach is NOT sufficient. Bench staff are required to be certified in BCRA’s Prevention in Motion program or equivalent certification program.

3. All teams will be given a 3 minute warm up.

4. For all divisions, games will have two 18 minute periods. BCRA rules stipulate that ice times should be at least 1.0 hour in length; playoffs in the U16, U19 and 18+ divisions will have 1.25 hours ice times where possible. Please check your ice times prior to the game. If time is running over, the referees and tournament directors hold the right to cut the clock.

5. Teams entering the tournament must compete in all scheduled games or will be disqualified from further tournament play (exceptional circumstances exempt).

6. Every division except for U10 (Novice) will play with a shot clock.

7. In the spirit of fair play, the 3-goal per player rule will be in effect for all non-tiered divisions.

8. For all round robin games and semi final games:

Home team shall supply a shot clock and scorekeeper

Visiting team shall supply a time clock operator.

Scorekeeper is responsible for picking up the game sheet 10 minutes before the game and returning the completed sheet from/to the Tournament Table.

9. Teams must wear their designated colours, as outlined in Appendix B of the BCRA Policy Manual. In the event of a conflict, as determined by the on ice officials, the Away team must change jerseys.

10. Ties will stand in round robin play. Wins will be awarded two points, ties will be awarded one point and losses will be awarded no points. All points will be calculated for final standings in which the first

place and second place teams in points in the round robin will play a final game for medals. The team with the most points will be home while the second will be visitor.

11. Score sheets must be signed by ALL team staff participating behind the bench no less than 15 minutes before a game time and may be picked up after the game at the tournament table.

12. Captains, Assistants and Goalies must be marked on your game sheets prior to the game.

13. In U14, U16, U19 and 18+ divisions, no more than a 7-goal spread shall be posted on the scoreboards or used in tie breaking calculations. Tie Breaking rules are available in the tournament office and on the BNWR website.

14. In U10 and U12 divisions, no more than a 5-goal spread shall be posted on the scoreboards or score displays.

15. If a team wants to make a grievance, it must be made no later than 2 hours after the incident and must be made with a $100 deposit.

16. No changes may be made to your roster at the tournament without BCRA approval.

17. Players may only play on one team during the tournament and may not be called up to assist for another team/division.

18. Some teams have been granted permission to exceed the 18 player rule per team and, as such, may have as many as 22 people on their roster registered to play at the tournament. Regardless of the number of players on a team, no more than 18 players can be dressed for each game and listed on the roster for each game. Once the roster has been submitted at the beginning of the game, it cannot be changed over the course of the game.

19. In the semi or final games, in the event of a tie, the teams will play a third overtime period sudden victory an 18 minute period for all divisions. A coin toss called by the teams’ captains will decide first ring. If there is still no winner, there will be a best of 3 shoot out. If still tied, the teams shall pick 3 more skaters and so forth.

20. In the event of a 10 goal difference, games will switch to running time.

21. Good sportsmanship will be stressed throughout the tournament. Ringette Canada and LMRL rules apply. Any player assessed a total of ten minutes of penalty time during a game, including overtime, shall be ejected from the game. The ejected player’s remaining penalty minutes will be served by a teammate.

Tournament Tiebreaking Rules

A. Tie games will stand in round robin play. Teams will receive two (2) points for a win, one (1) point for a tie, and zero points for a loss.

B. Breaking of ties in standings:

NOTE: In ii., v. and vii., the maximum difference (spread) between goals for and goals against that will be counted per game is SEVEN (7) goals.

i. The maximum goals FOR that will be counted per game is seven (7) more than the goals AGAINST.

ii. If a team(s) has forfeited a game, that team(s) shall be given the lowest position(s) amongst the tied teams. The score of a forfeited game shall be 7 0.

iii. The procedures will be followed in sequence until the tie is broken and the teams are ranked in sequence.

iv. The procedures, in most cases, will declare the team(s) in individual rankings. However, in some cases teams may be tied within the rankings (i.e. in a four way tie for first in a round robin, the procedures could place a team clearly in first, two teams tied for second/third and one team in fourth). In these cases, the procedures shall revert back to i) in order to break the tie between teams, within ranking positions.

v. When two (2) or more teams have an equal number of points after the completion of the round robin games, the ranking of the tied teams will be determined in the following order:

1. The teams will be ranked in order of the winner(s) of more games between each other during round robin play. The tied teams MUST have played each other or the procedure starts with v) unless one of the tied teams have beaten all other tied teams in which case that team is ranked highest and the procedure reverts back in order to break the tie within the remaining ranking positions.

2. If still tied, the teams will be ranked in order of the largest (positive) net difference between goals FOR minus goals AGAINST in the games between the tied teams.

3. If still tied, the team(s) will be ranked in order of the most goals FOR in games between the tied teams. The maximum goals FOR that will be counted per game is seven (7) more than the goals AGAINST.

4. If still tied, the teams will be ranked using the following formula in games between the tied teams: goals for (+plus) goals against (/ divided by) goals against.

5. If still tied, the teams will be ranked in order of the largest (positive) net difference between goals FOR minus goals AGAINST in games against all teams.

6. If still tied, the teams will be ranked in order of the most goals FOR in games against all teams.

7. If still tied, the tied teams will be ranked in order of the least total goals AGAINST in games against all teams.

8. If still tied, the teams will be ranked in order by applying the formula in iv) to all games.

9. If still tied, the teams will be ranked in order of the fewest penalty minutes in games against all teams.
