Question 1

How are the divisions determined?

Accepted Answer

Divisions are determined by the Tournament Director after all rosters are complete. Player information such as age, experience, and skill level is used to determine the overall strength of a team. Teams are then placed in divisions with other teams of similar strength. We do not classify teams by letter (A, B, C, etc.) as many times, teams have a mix of players on their roster. Therefore, our divisions are labeled Black, Red, White, Gray and Silver, with Black being the highest and so forth. These designations are relative to the teams competing in each individual tournament.

Question 2

What is your refund policy?

Accepted Answer

Players can request a full refund minus $15 processing fee up until 30 days before the start of the tournament.  After that, only site credits with an expiration date of 8/31 of the following year will be offered, providing the team still has a minimum of 11 paid players on their roster.  No site credits will be given after registration closes (2 weeks before the start of the tournament).
 
To request a refund or credit, please email support@hockeyfightsms.org (support@hockeyfightsms.org)

EXCEPTIONS:
 • Teams must have a minimum of 10 paid players and 1 paid goaltender prior to the team registration deadline to qualify (30 days prior to the start of the tournament). Teams that do not reach this minimum prior to this deadline will be removed from the tournament with a refund, minus a $15 processing fee. If a player is still interested in playing in the tournament, they can request to be moved to our free agent list.
 • In the rare instance we do not have enough teams to fill your team's division, teams registered in that division will have the opportunity to move into another division at a higher level (if one exists and there is room) or receive a full refund.
 • Players who register as free agent will receive a full refund if we are not able to find a team for you to play on.  Refunds in this situation will be processed within 3 days of the conclusion of the event.

Question 3

When will the schedule be posted?

Accepted Answer

The schedule will be posted on our website approximately 10-14 prior to the start of the tournament. You can also access the schedule by logging in to your player account.

Question 4

I want to play but don't have a team/I don't have enough players

Accepted Answer

Not to worry!  When registering, you can sign-up as a free agent and we'll coordinate with other teams to find you a spot. If we're unable to find you a spot, we'll let you know and process a full refund.
 
Teams looking for players will still want to start the registration process.   Once the Captain has set up the team, please email support@hockeyfightsms.org (support@hockeyfightsms.org)to request free agents.  We will do our best to help fill your roster, but there is no guarantee.  If we do not have enough free agents to fill your team, there may be an opportunity to merge your team with another team that is also looking for players.

Question 5

What are your rules for entering a co-ed team?

Accepted Answer

Teams in the co-ed division are required to have a minimum of three players of the opposite gender on their roster (excluding goaltender).  At least one player of opposite gender (excluding goaltender) must be on the ice at all times.  Failure to comply will result in a goal being awarded to the opposite team.  Additionally, women are allowed to play in the men's division if they choose.

Question 6

Can I make schedule requests or change my team's schedule?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, due to the size of our tournaments we cannot guarantee schedule requests, however, we will do our best to accommodate.  Once released, all schedules are final.

Question 7

What is the price to enter a team?

Accepted Answer

Hockey Fights MS does not offer a team fee option at this point. Our registration system is set up to make things easy for the Team Captains by allowing each individual player to register and pay online. That means Captains no longer have to chase after players for money or shell out the entire fee themselves way in advance. The fee per player is advertised on our website and varies per location.  Please refer to each tournament listing's page to see what the fee includes.

Question 8

Can I substitute a player?

Accepted Answer

All players must register and pay online prior to the advertised player registration deadline in order to participate.  We do not allow multiple players to share a spot, nor can we transfer tournament fees from one player account to another.  Every person must be fully registered, regardless of how many games you are able to play. We do not allow subs at any point throughout the tournament, or roster changes after registration has closed.  ALL players must be on the official roster.  Unregistered players caught playing in the tournament will be ejected immediately and the game will result in a forfeit for the offending team.  In the event of a goalie injury, arrangements may be granted at the discretion of the Tournament Director when requested by the Team Captain.
