Reporting the Score:

It is the responsibility of each team to report the score to the program Director within 48 hours of any completed regular season game.

Points Structure:

The point structure shall be applied as follows:

Win – 3 points
Tie – 2 points
Loss – 1 point
Forfeit – 0 points

Postponed game:

A postponed game occurs when the controlling umpire has terminated the game before the completion of the 1st half of the game (only due to inclement weather: lightning, extreme heat).

Forfeited game:

A forfeited game occurs when:

1. one team at the field cannot field a team, except in the case of an injury once the game has started.

2. a game takes place and a team or player is later discovered to have been not registered or been suspended at the time of the game. The non- registered/suspended team or the team fielding the non-registered/suspended player is the forfeiting team.

Standings

Compilation of Results:

Game results and league standings shall be compiled by the program Director.

Breaking a Tie:

In the case of a tie in league standings, the winner shall be decided as follows:

1. Team with the best win/loss record in games between the tied teams shall be the winner.

2. If still tied, the team scoring the highest number of goals, in games between the tied teams shall be the winner.

3. If still tied, the team with the lowest number of goals against, in games between the tied teams shall be the winner.

4. If a tie still exists, the total season goal differential for each team involved shall be used to determine the winner.

Penalty Strokes:

1. Each team will select any 5 players from those listed on the match sheet. These 5 players shall take penalty strokes alternately, the first team to shoot being decided by a coin toss.New Rule: If player taking stroke before whistle and misses the net, stroke stands. If player taking stroke before whistle and scores, its a retake. If keeper moves before stroke and no goal, retake. If keeper moves before stroke and goal, goal stands(from FIH rules book).

2. If the score is still tied, a “sudden death” system will be used. Each team will alternately send any one player to take a penalty stroke until the tie is broken. Fist to score wins, but each team must have taken equal number of strokes.
