FAQ:

We will be having both a Puck and a Ball division.

3. What do we get if we win?
All division champions will receive a cash prize of up to $1,000! The prize pool will be determined by the number of teams entered. All division champions will also receive a tournament champion t-shirt, and FREE entry into our next event. All division runners-up will also receive individual prizes. Leading Scorer, MVF, MVD, MVG awards will also be presented at the Awards Party.

4. We'll be traveling in from another city to play, what kind of deal can you give us?
It's always wonderful to have out-of-town teams come in to have fun with us at our events, so we will give a $50 discount for teams traveling from more than 50 miles from Canonsburg, PA 15317, and we are currently working on getting a discounted rate for local hotels and attractions.

5. What's the rink like?
Full-size NHL rink with blue sportcourt surface. Climate-controlled, fully indoor facility.

6. What skill levels are you having?
We are considering this an "Open" tournament. Teams of all skill levels from Rec to Pro will have a chance to compete with similar-skill teams at this event.

6a. How are you going to do that?
All teams will be entered into an open pool for the round-robin (prelim) games. Teams will receive points according to their performance in their 2 round-robin games. (Win=10 points. Tie=5 points. Loss=0 points. 1 point each for goal differential. 1 point for shutout.) All teams will make the playoffs. For the playoffs, we will split into skill level divisions according to point totals, depending on the total number of teams entered. Teams will then compete for 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 championships (again, depending on the total number of teams).

7. How many games will we get to play?
Minimum of 3 games, maximum of 6 games.

8. What else can we do while we're in town?
Jay's Sports Bar and Restaurant is connected to the rink for all of your dining (and drinking!) needs. We will have drink specials for all tournament players over the weekend. The rink and hotels are also very close to the Meadows Casino & Racetrack, and a short drive from Kennywood Amusement Park and Sandcastle Waterpark.

Team captains must submit their rosters 1 week before the tournament. 3 changes are allowed before the team's first game. Minimum roster = 6. Maximum roster = 14. All players must sign a waiver before getting on the floor.

10. What rules will we be using?
We will follow the AAU/USARS rulebook, except for a few minor changes - all of which will be clearly explained to teams entering the tournament.

11. What equipment do you require?
All players must wear a helmet, elbow pads, hockey shinguards, skates (with all the wheels in place!), and hockey gloves. All players under 18 must wear full face protection. Goalies must wear full equipment, except in the Ball division, in which goalies are not required to wear skates.

13. I know a few other teams that might want to play, should I have them contact you?
We are actually paying a $20 "referral fee" for anyone who is able to bring other teams to the event.

If they register and pay in full - you'll receive $20 per referred team at the tournament.
