4. Each round robin and semi-final game will be 1 hour 30 minutes in length. Three (3) 20-minute periods will be played – first half of the game will be run time and the second half stop time.  If there is a five goal differential in third period, time will resort to run time. If the difference becomes less than five during third period, it will resort back to stop time.   If games are running late, the tournament coordinator has the right to change to run time during third period.  However, the final 2 minutes will remain stop time.  The ice will be cleaned at the end of each game.

• 3 player shoot out (most goals scored at the conclusion) with a coin toss between captains to determine the team to shoot first.
• A head to head, one vs one player shoot-out (team to go first remains the same as under #2 above). The winning team will be the one that scores when the other team misses having had the equal number of shooters.
