Points Accumulation
For the Gay Games hockey tournament, teams win a berth into semi-finals and Championship rounds by winning points based on each period, and for the final game score. The team scoring the most goals for each period gains 2 points; for a tie period, each team gains 1 point; the team that loses the period gains 0 points. At the end of the game, the team with the most goals gains an additional 2 points; or 1 point each for a tie; 0 points for a loss. The maximum points a team can gain for each game is 8.
For semi-finals and finals, games are won or lost by final game score. Games that end in a tie will go to overtime, and then five-man shootout.
