Games are subject to starting 30 mins early. Mercy rule is 8.
Teams must be ready to play (4 skaters 1 goalie ready to take a faceoff) by the end of the 3 minute warm up, regardless if the tournament is running ahead, on time, or behind. If a team is not ready to play, then they will forfeit. If both teams are not ready to play, then the game will result in a tie/double forfeit.
