TOURNAMENT RULES

Unless otherwise specified, the Provincial Championship will abide by RO Sanctioned event rules.

 WARM-UP
Warm-up times will be limited to 3 minutes from the times the Zamboni doors close. These times will be
strictly adhered to. We thank-you in advance for respecting this time limit.

  GAME START TIME
All teams must be prepared and ready to start each game ten (10) minutes before their scheduled game
times – the only exception is the first game of each day.

 DIVISION RULES
U16AA, U19AA, 18+AA, divisions will play two 20-minute stop time periods.
18+A, 18+U divisions will play 15-minute halves

To minimize delays during the tournament, running game time will be implemented in accordance with
RO G&T manual. Running time can only be used in the second period and will commence at any time
during that period when there is a seven (7) goal differential. If the goal differential goes below seven
(7), then the game will go back to stop time. If a penalty is called during running time, then the clock
stops and restarts when play commences. The clock will stop for injuries or if a time out is called, and
restarts when play commences during running time.

    1. Any game in pool play may remain tied at the end of regulation time and each team will be
       awarded one (1) point. All semi-final and final games will be played until a winner is declared
       and in compliance with rules 2-5 below.
    2. If the score of a final game is tied at the end of regulation time, there will be one (1) overtime
       stop time period, (of same duration used in that game) which will be sudden victory (i.e. the first
       team to score in that overtime period will be declared the winner).
    3. If neither team scores during the first stop time overtime period, there will be successive stop
       time sudden victory overtime periods until a goal is scored to break the tie.
    4. Possession on the free pass to start the first overtime period is decided by the tossing of a coin
       by the referee. The team winning the toss will get the free pass. The other team will get the
       choice of ends.
    5. If additional overtime periods are required, possession of the ring for the opening free pass will
       alternate between teams. The teams will also exchange ends for each overtime period.
    6. All goals scored will be entered on the score-sheet, but the maximum goals to be shown on the
       scoreboard and tournament charts will be seven (7) goals more than the lower scoring team's
       total (i.e. if the score is 12-1, show 8-1. If the lower team scores, change the scoreboard to show
       9-2).

 POINT STRUCTURE

    1. Teams receive two (2) points for a win, zero (0) points for a loss, and one (1) point for a tie.
    2. The team with the most points in each division will be declared the top team in that division.
    3. The second-place team is the team having the second highest number of points, etc.

                                                                                                            8
Tournament Information Package First Provincial Championships Waterloo, ON - March 7th - 10th, 2019 - Ontario Ringette
4. In a forfeited game the score will be 7-0. The team forfeiting shall receive zero (0) points and the
       other team receives two (2) points. If a team has forfeited a game, that team will be ranked the
       lowest position amongst the tied teams. In a cancelled game (due to bad weather, etc.) score is
       recorded as 0-0 with both teams receiving one (1) point.
    5. Any team voluntarily forfeiting a game will not be eligible to proceed to the semi-final or final
       games.

 RANKING OF TIED TEAMS
Note: The procedures will declare team(s) in individual rankings. In some cases, there will still be a tie
within the rankings. (i.e.: in a four-way tie for first in a round robin, the procedures could place one team
clearly first with two teams tied for second/third and one team fourth). In these cases, start at step 1
and follow the procedures to resolve the ranking of the remaining tied teams.

The ranking of tied teams will be determined in the following order:

    1.    If one of the tied teams has beaten all other tied teams, rank that team highest.
    2.    If still tied and all tied teams have not played each other go directly to Step 7.
    3.    If still tied, rank the teams in order of wins between the tied teams.
    4.    If still tied, rank teams in order of the plus/minus (goals for minus goals against) in games
          between the tied teams.
    5.    If still tied, rank teams using the following formula in games between the tied teams (Goals For +
          Goals Against) / Goals Against
    6.    If still tied, rank teams in order of the most goals for in games between the tied teams.
    7.    If still tied, rank the teams in order of wins between all teams.
    8.    If still tied, rank teams in order of the plus/minus (goals for minus goals against) in games
          between all teams.
    9.    If still tied, rank teams using the following formula in games between all teams - (Goals For +
          Goals Against) / Goals Against
    10.   If still tied, rank teams in order of the most goals for in games between all teams.
    11.   If still tied, rank teams using the least fully served penalty minutes in all games between all
          teams.
    12.   If still tied, rank teams using least penalty minutes in games between the tied teams.
    13.   If still tied, rank teams using least penalty minutes in games between all teams.
    14.   If still tied, a coin toss (for 2 teams) or draw from a hat (for more than 2 teams) will determine
          higher rank.

 GRIEVANCES AND PROTESTS
No protest or grievances will be considered regarding an official on ice judgment or application of the
rules. Questions concerning rule interpretation can be directed to the tournament Referee-In-Chief.
Tournament volunteers at the arenas will be able to contact the Referee-In-Chief.
In the unlikely event that there is a protest or grievance, the Tournament Protest and Grievance
Committee will render any related decisions. All decisions of this committee will be considered final.

 FULLY SERVED PENALTIES

                                                                                                           9
Tournament Information Package First Provincial Championships Waterloo, ON - March 7th - 10th, 2019 - Ontario Ringette
As per Ringette Ontario rules (see here) any four minute fully served penalty that cannot be served
during the remaining clock time of the game shall result in a one game suspension. This includes any
such fully served penalty assessed after the end of the game.

 ABUSE AND HARRASSMENT
Ringette Ontario and Waterloo Ringette are focused on creating a positive experience for players and
we encourage a Fair Play attitude. Any person who interferes with the game or verbally abuses a
PLAYER, COACH, OFFICAL, TIMEKEEPER or SHOT CLOCK OPERATOR, will be asked to leave the playing
area and not return. The Head Coach will be notified by an on-ice official to remove the person. If the
person refuses to leave the playing area after a reasonable period of time, the game will be called, and
the team associated with the person will forfeit the game.

 TOURNAMENT WITHDRAWL
Any team that withdraws from the tournament after the width drawl deadline will be fined the
applicable fees as per RO rules.

                                                                                                       10
MINI-GAMES FOR PROVINCIAL EVENTS

The purpose of the mini game chart is fairness to all teams. All teams involved in a tie that would
eliminate one or more teams shall follow the appropriate mini game format as determined by
the mini game table.

    ➢ Mini-games will not begin earlier than one (1) hour and twenty (20) minutes after the
      completion of the tied teams’ last round robin game. It is the responsibility of all teams
      involved to be in attendance at the mini-game meeting immediately following this game.

    ➢ It is the responsibility of the teams involved to be ready to play at the scheduled time.
      Failure to do so will result in forfeiture of the mini-game(s) by the offending team(s). Any
      team forfeiting a mini-game will be eliminated from medal round play.

    ➢ A team required to play in a mini-game will be given a minimum of ten (10) minutes rest
      before starting the medal round game or another mini-game.

    ➢ Teams involved in mini-games will be seeded by the Ranking of Tied Teams Procedures,
      during the tie-breaking meeting immediately following the last round robin games of
      teams involved in the tie.

    ➢ Each mini-game will consist of a one (1) ten (10) minute, fully played, stop time period. If
      the score of a mini-game is tied at the end of regulation time, successive sudden victory
      overtime periods of the same duration will be played until a winner is declared. Free
      pass award and choice of ends for each overtime period will be as outlined under the
      normal tie-breaking procedure.

    ➢ Playing rules for mini-games will be applied as though the game was tied at 0-0 with ten
      (10) minutes remaining in regulation time. The home team will be awarded the free pass
      to start the mini-game and the choice of ends.

                                                                                                      11

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

  SPECTATOR CODE OF CONDUCT
Ringette Ontario is committed to ensuring that all athletes have the opportunity to participate in a safe
and enjoyable environment that is encouraging to all, enabling athletes to achieve personal best
performances, and promoting overall development of our sport. We have strong values of fair play,
integrity, mutual respect, safety, graciousness, and sportsmanship. Spectators are expected to conduct
themselves in a manner which supports the values of our organization and encourages the development
of all athletes on and off the competition area. RO has a zero tolerance for any offensive behaviour and
any violations against the code of conduct may result in removal from the game/arena.
    Do:
    •   Support the game of Ringette.
    •   Cheer for all athletes in a positive manner, modeling good sportsmanship, and fair play.
    •   Show respect to all individuals, treating everyone with courtesy, including but not limited to
        athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers, other spectators and parents.
    •   Thank officials after each game and ensure your athletes do the same. A handshake goes a long
        way in the promotion of good sportsmanship.
    •   Respect the decisions and judgments of the officials and encourage athletes to do the same.
    •   Avoid spectator-imposed pressures to win.
    •   Encourage participation at all levels. Promote emotional and physical well-being.
    •   Volunteer your time at an event when help is required.
    •   Encourage fair play and sportsmanship both on and off the ice.
    •   Remember that this is a game, the main goal is to have fun!

    •   Engage in profane, insulting, harassing, sexist, racist, abusive, disrespectful or otherwise
        offensive behavior.
    •   Verbally abuse the officials, the opposing team, their players or coaches.
    •   Demean or ridicule any athlete who has not met your expectation.
    •   Use physical force, or engage in verbal abuse, or violent acts of any kind.
    •   Partake in the unlicensed use of alcohol, legal cannabis, or the illegal use of drugs at any events.
    •   Coach any athlete during an event, unless you are the coach for that team.

 FAIR PLAY POLICY
   ➢ Play Fair!
           o Winning is pointless if it has been achieved unfairly or dishonestly. Remember: It is a
               game.
   ➢ Play to win but accept defeat with dignity
           o Play to win, until the final whistle. But remember nobody wins all the time. You win
               some; you lose some. Learn to win and lose graciously.
   ➢ Observe the Laws of the Game
           o All games need rules to guide them. Learn them; it will help you to understand the game
               better. It is equally important to understand the spirit of the rules. They are designed to
               make the game fun to play and fun to watch.
   ➢ Respect all players, coaches, officials (on and off ice) and spectators

                                                                                                          16
o    Fair play means respect.
                 ▪ Without opponents, there can be no game
                 ▪ Form a team in which all members are equal.
                 ▪ Officials are there to maintain discipline and fair play. Always accept their
                     decisions without arguing and help them to enable all participants to have a
                     more enjoyable game.
                 ▪ Spectators give the game atmosphere. They want to see the game played fairly,
                     but they must also behave with respect.
➢   Promote the interest of Ringette
        o Encourage other people to watch and play fairly. Be an ambassador for the game.
➢   Honour those who defend Ringette’s good reputation
        o Sometimes, somebody does something exceptional that deserves our special
            recognition they should be honoured and their fine example publicized.
➢   Reject corruption, drugs, alcohol, racism, violence and other dangers to our sport.
        o Watch out for attempts to tempt you into cheating or using drugs. Drugs have no place
            in ringette, in any other sport, or in society as a whole. Say no to drugs.
        o Help to kick racism and bigotry out of ringette. Treat all players and everyone else
            equally, regardless of their religion, race, gender or national origin.
        o Show that ringette does not condone violence.
➢   Help others to resist corrupting pressures.
        o You may hear that team-mates or other people you know are being tempted to cheat in
            some way or otherwise engage in behavior deemed unacceptable. They need your help.
            Support them in making the right choices.
➢   Denounce those who attempt to discredit our sport.
        o Stand up to anybody who is encouraging others to cheat or engage in other
            unacceptable behavior. It is better to expose them and have them removed before they
            can do any damage.
