How the tournament works
Who plays?
All adults (18 and older) who sign up will play.
How many games?
FOUR games will be played - 3 pool play games and 1 playoff game. Each team will play two pool games on Saturday and one on Saturday. Finals will be early Sunday afternoon. Games begin no earlier than 9:00 pm on Saturday, and the final game concludes by 3:00 pm on Sunday.
What are the dates of the All-Play Bubble Style?
September 26-27 2020. All-Play Covid Style will be played at Centennial Ice Arena in Billings, Montana. Registration will close when we have 40 skaters and 4 goalies. No refunds will be offered after registration closes. Registration will not be available at the tournament.
How much does it cost?
Registration is $90 per skater, $60 per goalie, and $100 if you register to be on the same team as a friend (see below for details). Register early since registration will close when we reach 44 skaters!
Register with friends or family
Two players of low-to-medium experience can now register so they are placed on the same team. Since leveling the teams is more difficult with player pairing, it will cost an extra $10 per person. Note: We do not allow very experienced players to register with a friend since it would be too difficult to balance the teams. If players are too experienced, the computer program will notify the players they cannot be paired and the players can choose to register individually.
Beverages and Snacks
Due to Covid no beverages will be served.
Teams
How do I know what team I am on?
Each player is notified of team name, roster, and game schedule on Wednesday of tournament week.
What if more goalies register than teams?
Goalie skill is one metric used in leveling the teams. If there are more goalies than teams, the highest ranked goalies will be assigned to a team. The highest rank goalie not placed on a team will be asked to be a back-up for the tournament at no cost. Goalies not assigned to a team or asked to be a back-up will have the option to skate out. If these goalies elect not to skate out, their tournament fee will be refunded.
What about jerseys?
You will be loaned a tournament jersey when you show up for your first game on Friday at check-in. You will add a bit of aroma to the jersey and then return it after your game on Sunday.
Returning your jerseys?
Following your last game, the jersey's will be collected in the locker room. Please return them since we can clean them and reuse them at a future tournament.
