A Battle in Chiefs Land: An Update

We have now received confirmation of our ice times for the tourney. We couldn't secure any Saturday ice times but we did come through with option 3: a three hour ice time on Sunday, which puts the tourney format as follows...

Sunday, October 15th.

Game One
Team A vs Team B

Game Two
Team A vs Team C

Sunday, October 22nd.

Game Three
Team B vs. Team C

Game Four
Team B vs Team A

Sunday, October 29th.

Game Five
Team C vs Team A

Game Six
Team C vs Team B

Sunday, November 5th.
The Finals

Team 1 vs Team 2


The team highlighted in red is the home team and therefore has the home rink advantages in those games (such as last change, face-offs, puck bunnies, etc)

Each game will be three 20 minutes periods, running time. This will give us 30 minutes for the Zamboni, the warm-up/late arrivals and a short overtime period.

As you can see from the schedule each team will play two back to back games. Also each team will have one early and one later game.

This will be a point format tourney.
W=two points,
T=one point,
L=a big fat ZERO
OTL=a very disappointing big fat ZERO
There are NO penalty shots to decide this tourney!!!

If there is a tie between the last two teams...well, we would like to see things settled with a golden goal...sweet, sweet overtime!! So our final game is supposed to be two hours long so we will play the first bit till first goal between those two teams...then we'll play the finals. Now that's competition....one goal wins, damn. and then the other team has to take their gear off....haha man that would suck. hope it's you not me!!!
If all three teams are tied then one team will automatically advance on goal differential.

We will have ref(s). A note on the ref(s), we don't know how good/bad they will be but as long as they are consistent then it'll be fair. We'll make sure the captains and the refs are on the same page when it comes to rules. We would also like to have only the captains assistant captains talk to the refs (like a real game)...just to keep the abuse to a minimal. We would like to have the same refs for all the games and if everyone starts screaming obscenities at them they could easily just quit...

So that's all the news for now
Go git ya'self some balls' We 'bout to get it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


::::::::::::::::::::::NEWS FLASH::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Captains:
Whoever picks Rene will be Team A
Whoever picks Tommy will be Team B
Whoever picks Terry will be Team C

The Hockey Insider has just found that Terry 'the Glove' will not be able to make it on the 22nd due to a scheduled meeting with 'The King'. Therefore, a player from Team C will HAVE TO SUIT UP for the game on the 22nd. An interesting twist to the tourney....perhaps even a TSN Turning Point. When questioned about this unfortunate news a tribal Chief was quoted as saying: "There's nothing we can do about it! Just deal with it! The captains and everyone knows what they're getting into before the draft!"

A Question of Names
The upcoming fall tourney is still without a name. We are asking anybody who knows how to use the comments section (Stevey H.) to post a suggestion. Let's christen this tourney!!
