Tournament Rules

2023/2024 FARIBAULT TOURNAMENT GENERAL RULES

Game Format:

Teams need to be ready to skate 15-minutes prior to game time, as games may begin early in order to maximize schedule.

• Four (4) minute warm-up
• Three (3) – twelve (12) minute stop time periods for squirts/10U and fifteen (15) minute stop time Periods for Peewee, 12U and 15U
• One (1) minute rest between periods
• 3rd Period Run Time if team leads by 5 or more goals.  During running time, the clock will be stopped for injuries, when the puck leaves the ice, when the net is off, during ice repairs and while penalties are being assessed (not during penalties).  Each team will be allowed one (1) one-minute time-out per game.  
• In the event of a tie at the end of regulation play, there will be a one (1) minute rest followed by a five (5) minute sudden-death, 4 on 4, stop time overtime period. If no goal is scored, there will be a one (1) minute rest followed by a shootout. Each team will choose five (5) skaters and they will alternate shots. If still tied, the shootout will continue in “Sudden Death” format, with one skater at a time from each team, until one team scores and the other doesn’t.  No skater can participate in the shootout twice until each player on the team (excluding goalies), has participated.

For tournaments with round robin pool play, the games during the round robin or pool play rounds will have no overtime. The game will end in a tie.

• Boarding: 5 minute Major
• Checking from behind: 5 Minute Major and 10 Minute Misconduct
