Pool Seeding

In the case of ties in the final standings for pool play, the following process will be used until all ties are broken and the seeding process is completed (ties will be broken in rank order beginning with the first procedure).

If more than two teams are tied for a pool or division seed, once one team is removed from the tie, the seeding criteria reverts back to the beginning of the procedure for the remaining teams tied.

Tie Breaker Procedure:

1.     Head-to-Head.

2.     Record vs Team(s) tied with.

3.     Total goals against teams tied with; only games where tied teams played each other.

4.     Goal differential teams tied with (goal differential will not exceed +/- 7 per game), only games involving teams tied with.

5.     Total goals against common opponents.

6.     Goal differential against common opponents (goal differential will not exceed +/- 7 per game).

7.     Goals against overall.

8.     Goal differential overall.

9.     Coin flip.

*Seeding in a 5 or 7 team pool in which the teams do not play everyone, pool seeding will be determined by:

           1. Winning percentage

           2. Goals against average

 

Divisional Seeding

HoganLax divisional seeding will follow below criteria after pool seeding is determined.

1.     Seed in Pool.

2.     Overall Record.

3.     Goals Against Average.

4.     Goal Differential (goal differential will not exceed +/- 7 per game).

5.     Coin Flip

*If teams from the same program are scheduled to play in the first round of the non-championship bracket, HoganLax reserves the right to change the seeding.

Goal Differential is limited to +7/-7 per game

Only currently registered players on hoganlax.com, for the specific tournament and who agree to the “Release and Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, and Indemnity and Parental Consent AGREEMENT,” may participate in tournament games. It is the coach’s responsibility to ensure all of his team members are registered. This can be confirmed on the Player Page for each tournament. Hoganlax.com will notify a coach if a player did not agree to the Release and Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, and Indemnity and Parental Consent AGREEMENT. 

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. The score for any forfeit will be: 

  • 7-0 since the greatest Goals Differential is 7 

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 breaker information is available under Game Rules. 

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). 

Each field is assigned a Field Timer; the Field Timer will record the score on a scorecard for each game. At the end of each game one referee who officiated the game will sign the scorecard to confirm final score and expulsions. Coaches should check the scorecard on the field if they wish to validate or challenge a score. Any challenges must be made immediately following the game with the Officials and Field Timer, who will contact a tournament administrator to address the issue. Once the scorecard reaches the administration tent the score is considered final. 

  1. No team will receive a full refund. 
  2. Partial refunds will be issued if the tournament is canceled in whole. 
  3. HoganLax will refund all but $250 for any team that registers and withdraws from the tournament prior to March 1 of the year of the tournament.
