2012 VHL PLAYOFF INFO

2012 VHL PLAYOFF FORMAT


NOTE:
The Times for the Semis have been moved up to 8:30pm and 9:30pm

By now you should know the dates and times for YOUR playoff games.

If not, I will repeat them here below:

Ok, so now that you know the date and time of your semi final game lets discuss how the playoff games will differ than our usually more laid back regular season games.

1. Referee: Yes, there will be a volunteer referee at both semi-final games.  Big Dub Wes will be doing the 9:45 game and Bob will be doing the 10:15 game. These two friends of ours are not there to stop any stupid stuff, that is up to all of us so lets make sure nothing stupid starts. What these guys have volunteered to do is dropping the puck at center ice at beginning of game/period and after goals as well as have the final say in any disputed off sides and or goals.  Their word is the final word. Don’t bother arguing.

2. Clock Management:  As you should be aware by now at the Quad Pads, we get curfewd after our allotted ice time of approx 50 minutes flood included - they don't care if its a playoff game or not. Most of the leagues do some kind of round robin total goals or wins BS! Knowing the curfew issue, we would be in a bit of a quagmire should the games end in tie at end of regular time, so what VHL management have decided to do is to cut one minute from each period as well as cut the pre game warm up by one minute from two minutes to one so guys, be aware, get warmed up before going on the ice as best you can and remember only one minute for pre game warm up.  The allotted 3 minutes we gain from this we will use, in case of a tie, for Execution Style Shoot Out – description below.

3. Execution Style Shoot Out: If after regulation time the game has ended in a tie, both teams will each get one puck at the opposing teams blue line. 1 shooter for each team takes the puck from there and shall attempt to score on the goalkeeper simultaneously. If Team A scores on their first shot and Team B does not, Team A will win. If neitherTeam A or Team B score on their first shots, or they both score, we shall go to a 2^nd round. This will continue until a winner is determined. Execution Style Shoot Out could end in one round or it could end in 10. The 3 minutes should be enough to determine a winner.

Good luck and Let the best team Zucchini win.
