Rules of Play and Eligibility

RULES GOVERNING PARTICIPANT ELIGIBILITY

Only currently registered players on www.odysseylaxevents.com, for the specific tournament or prospect day, and who agree to the “Liability Waiver Form,” may participate in tournament games or individual prospect day showcase clinics. It is the coach’s/participant’s responsibility to ensure all of his/her team members are registered. The Event Director will notify a coach if a player did not agree to the “Liability Waiver Form”.

RULES OF PLAY

·      Players may play “up” in age/grade groups, but may NOT play “down.” Any team that forfeits a game during the tournament will be ineligible to compete in any playoff games. No player may compete, or be rostered, on more than one team during the tournament. Any team with a player in violation of this rule will forfeit all games in which the player is known to have competed and therefore, forfeit the opportunity to advance to the playoff round.

·      Tie breakers will be determined for each age/grade group and division depending on the number of teams participating in the respective age/grade group and division.

Any player, fan or coach ejected from the game will be prohibited from competing in his/her team's next game. Decisions on the field will be the final ruling. Any fighting or flagrant disrespect toward an official will result in expulsion for the remainder of the tournament. No Exceptions, No Refunds. Spectators also need to respect the Officials and the Players. Bad behavior will not be tolerated. Should referees or tournament director deem a spectator, player, or coach needs to be removed from the site(s) of the tournament, it will be the responsibility of the coach from the offender’s team to remove the offender from the site(s).
