TOURNAMENT RULES

Plzeň, Czech Republic
Venue:
CCM Arena, Studentská 2143 / 117, 323 00, Pilsen, Czech Republic
Tournament date:
13. – 15. 6. 2025
Pre-match kick-off:
Players gather on the bench. The team written as home is on the left side, the team written as away is on the right side. The players enter the ice at the referee's command and, accompanied by light effects, they climb to the blue line closer to their goal and greet their opponents. The captains will shake hands with the referee and the match will begin after the referee's command. After the match, the best player of the match will be announced (determined by the opponent's coach), which means that the players will leave the ice rink only after the announcement.
Match:
in a friendly spirit and only from the stands ☺). Only coaches and team managers are allowed to substitute (we ask parents to cheer politely in a friendly spirit and only from the stands ☺).
Rules:
2 x 20 minutes of rough time are played without interruption (interruption only when a goal is scored - a face-off is taken at the center and after the goalkeeper's intervention, the ball is played behind the goal), but time continues to run. The break between halves is 1 minute for all categories. For all classic substitutions. A whistle is always blown for a forbidden release (players can substitute). Adjustment at the ice surface – after one or two games. The game is played according to the official rules of the Czech Hockey League. Hitting the boards and playing to the body are prohibited, even in a parallel race (the tournament is organized for fun, gaining new experience and hockey skills, so we ask everyone for a fair play spirit) ☺. For all categories, there is a minor penalty of 1 minute. A win is worth 2 points, a draw is worth 1 point, a loss is worth 0 points. Each 20 minutes (halftime) is like a separate match.
Tournament system:
The tournament is attended by 3 categories (2008 – 2010; 2011 – 2013 and 2014 – 2016) with a total of 6, 10 and 5 teams respectively. The game system is very simple, everyone plays against everyone and the finals are based on the number of teams in each category.
1) by total points
2) in case of equality of points, the head-to-head match determines the order
3) if the head-to-head match does not decide, then the score between the equal opponents will decide
4) if the score difference is the same, the greater number of goals scored will decide
5) if the equality continues, the score from all matches will decide
6) if there is no agreement, the draw will take place
End of the tournament:
After the last match, the final announcement of the teams and the best players will take place directly on the ice rink "A", where all parents will be allowed to enter the changing room and immediately after the announcement, also on the ice to take photos.
Parents: We ask parents not to enter the changing room area or the ice rink. The winter stadium has a grandstand, a VIP area above it and a restaurant from which "Ačko" is very well visible. ☺ The second rink has limited space, but all teams will rotate so that watching the matches is fairly distributed.
Locker room:
Immediately upon arrival in the locker room, we ask players to hang up their things and put their bags on shelves or under benches - in designated places so that there are no unnecessary injuries in the locker room.
Payment:
Until the end of February 2025 (in the event of injury or illness, we will of course refund the full entry fee - within 72 hours before the start of the tournament). If you register at a later date, please pay at the same time as you send your application.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU IN PLZEŇ! ☺
