On behalf of the kids in our region, I want to thank everyone for their time and effort this season. On November 5th, we will start our playoffs with pool play for the U10, U12 and U14 Boys teams. The winning teams will then advance to the Single Elimination Round to determine Division Champions. This booklet contains playoff rules and game schedule.
It takes help from everyone to make playoffs happen. Every team needs to provide their fair share of referee and volunteer support. Teams not helping will not advance from pool play.
Please be on time during playoffs as we’ve got a busy game schedule for pool play. For the first game of each day, you must check in the team 45 minutes prior to your game time with medical release forms.
Please remember that every player must play at least 3/4 of each game in playoffs. Coaches failing to follow this rule will face disciplinary review. The only exceptions are those listed under PLAYING TIME in the Playoff Rules and Regulations document below.
SPORTSMANSHIP is more important than ever. Emotions are always run high during playoffs but please remember to respect referee calls. They are volunteering their time for a difficult job. Winning now matters but coaches still need to remember to back off when winning big. A 3-0 win receives the same number of points as a 10-0 win in playoffs. We will send at least one team from each division to Area Playoffs. These teams will be selected based on sportsmanship as well as playoff performance. Playoffs are always a special time that will produce lasting memories for everyone involved. I wish everyone good luck and hope everyone wins.
