2024 - 2025 Season Information
Tournament Selection
Before the start of the season, each team will be given a tournament list. Teams will be asked to rank which events they'd like to attend. Once all the rankings are returned, teams will be placed into a draft where a maximum of 4 tournaments will be selected for the team to compete in. Draft selections will be based on these rankings. Teams have the option to play in fewer than 4 tournaments. The draft is composed of multiple rounds and each team is awarded one tournament pick per round. The order in which teams get to select their tournaments is based on seniority.
Divisions
Teams will select which division they would like to compete in, the divisions are as follows;
TIER I is considered equivalent to NARCH/TOHRS/SW – pro/gold
TIER II is considered equivalent to NARCH/TORHS/SW – silver/bronze
TIER III is considered equivalent to Bronze/Copper divisions. Higher level players are kept out of T3. There is a 4 goal limit per player per game.
TIER IV These players typically don’t attend many national tournaments. There is a 3 goal limit per player per game.
TIER V is our lowest division. This division is for recreational players only. There is a 3 goal limit per player per game.
** If it is determined that a team or player is unfit for their division, they will be moved accordingly or removed.
Tournament Format
Each individual tournament schedule is composed of round robin games on Saturday and a single elimination playoff on Sunday. Teams play two round robin games and are seeded into the single elimination playoff bracket based on their record during round robin.

Season Format
Throughout the course of a team’s 4 tournament season schedule they earn points for each game they play in (3 points for a win, 2 points for an OT loss and 1 point for a regulation loss). The regular season is very fluid as it doesn’t contain a fixed number of games or opponents. Teams simply play in tournaments, earning points for each game. A team could face a new opponent at any time. At the end of the regular season teams are ranked by points and the top 10 teams in each division are invited to championships.
