CAHL New Mercy Rule |
Posted By: Admin |
Monday, July 14, 2014 |
All team organizers have been emailed this new mercy rule.
1l. (as of Jul 14, 2014) As a mercy rule if a team ever has a ten goal lead then at that point the game will be changed to run time. The game will continue to be played as per usual with referees and the timekeeper until the end of the game however no more goals or shots will be recorded for either team and only penalties will continue to be recorded and served (players can still be suspended) until the end of the game. The official final score of the game will be whatever the score was when one of the teams reached a ten goal lead. For games with less than a ten goal differential the game clock may still be changed to running time at any point of any game if both teams agree to do (e.g. if there is an eight goal differential in the 3rd period and both teams agree to run the clock then the clock can be changed to run time). |
