• We have reintroduced the game of third place and will keep this. Bronze trophy is back to stay!
• In the semifinals we practise 3-penalty shots before sudden death penalty shots.
• In the final and bronze match there will be a 5 minutes sudden death and after that sudden death penalty shots. Note that the same applies for the trophy games in the Ladies tournament. Sudden death is played with four players on the ice, except if a team has a player penalized when the sudden death starts.

All teams play at least five games. Teams that go into the playoffs will play six games. You play four group games; two on Friday and two on Saturday. Tournament will start at 08:00 on Friday morning, which means that long-distance teams usually choose to come already on Thursday evening. On Sunday, all teams have a placement game. The winner and runner up of each group goes to the playoffs where the losers of the
semifinals will play for bronze trophy on Sunday afternoon. Then the semifinals winners face each other in the final for the trophy in Trollhättan
Hockey Trophy. Game time is 2x20 minutes and ice is resurfaced between games.
Please note that in the Ladies tournament we plan to arrange the 2 groups in order of team strenght. When grouping after team strenght the play offs will be arranged as follows. Team no. 1-4 in group A will be qualified for semifinals. Team no. 5 in group A will play Team no. 1 in group B. Two golden trophys will be awarded. One for the winner of the play off final in group A and one for the group B winning team. Silver and bronze trophy will also be awarded the no. 2 and no. 3 team in group A play offs and for group B in the game between group B team no. 2 and 3.
