Country & Western Mar 18-20 Schedule Posted

Hey guys,

The schedule for this coming weekend was posted late last night. Thank you for your patience and for being available for the Tournament.

Not unsurprisingly, there have been many, many give-backs. A couple changes have been made to the schedule and there are also some openings on Friday and Saturday. If you can cover any of the games, please give a shout.

Thanks so much guys.

Country and Western Tournament March 4-6

I was just sent the Tournament Schedules for the first weekend of the Country and Western Tournament, and it’s a doozy. It is being held at both rinks this year, so that mean Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, all day on all 4 sheets.

If there is anyway that any of you can get the day, or take the day on Friday, there will be plenty of games to go around. Please shoot me an email and let me know if you think you’ll be able to skate on March 4th in particular. There will obviously be a ton of games to go around on the 5th and 6th, but Friday in particular is going to be really tough.

Thanks guys.

Schedule has been updated

Hey guys.

The schedule for the weekend has been updated. There a few openings left, please feel free to volunteer to cover any games you may be interested in.

The Advanced schedule is coming. There weren’t as many availability sunmissions as I’d hoped so it’s taken me a bit longer to get the schedule together than I thought.

Thanks guys.

2010-2011 GNASH Playoff Rules

(updated: the correct rules were sent over today)

Pool Play and Semi-Finals Overtime Rules
All pool play games and semi-finals games Play-Off Tiebreakers. In the event of a tie at the end of regulation play, the following procedures will be used to determine a winner:
(1) 1st: Overtime – A 5 minute stop clock ―sudden victory overtime. 5 on 5 play. Penalties will carry over.

(2) 2nd: Shootout 3 on 3 – If the game is not decided in a 5 minute overtime period, a shoot-out with 3 players from each team will be conducted. Winner is the team with the highest score out of 3 shooters. Visiting team shoots first. Any player still serving a penalty as of the end of overtime will not be allowed to participate in the shoot-out.

(3) 3rd: Shoot-out 1 on 1 – If the game is not decided in the 3 on 3 shootout, teams will alternate using different players. Home team gets the last shot. If in any round of 1 on 1, if one team scores and the other team does not, the team that scored is declared the winner. Shooters may not repeat until the entire roster has shot. Any player still serving a penalty as of the end of overtime will not be allowed to participate in the shoot-out.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks guys.

Policy Change

Hey guys,

I need to make a policy announcement.

From today onward, if you need to give-back a game, I will acknowledge the receipt of that game in email form only. If you need to get out of a game, email me to let me know, that will make it official.

I enjoy getting texts from everyone, and I enjoy even more the convenience and ease that sending a text message allows. For the give-backs, I need an email. If you happen to text me, or call me, I will remind you send it to me in email. I’m having a bit of a hard time keeping it all straight and some things are starting to slip through the cracks.

Please email me when you need to give a game back.

Thanks guys.
