This years' pre-season rules clinic will be taking place on Nov 8th, 2018 at the Sport Manitoba Building from 7pm-9pm.

All teams are required to send a minimum of 1 player to the rules clinic. Please submit names to league coordinator by Oct 26th. All players are welcome, there is no cost to attend. If interested in coming, please contact Shawn: winnipegteamhandball@gmail.com

Just to remind everyone of how tie-breakers are decided for standings and the format for overtime in playoffs:

The standings at the end of the regular season will determine the playoff slot in which your team will start in. If the standings result in a tie, the following format will be followed to determine final standings:

Tiebreaker format:
o Head to head wins
o Lowest points against between tied teams
o Head to head against common opponents

Overtime Format:
During playoffs, if the game ends in a tie at the end of regulation time, officials and teams will follow this overtime format:
If tied at the end of regulation: 2 x 5 minute halves
If still tied: another round of 2 x 5 minute halves
If tied after two rounds of 2 x 5: a single 5 minute period
If tied after single 5 minute period: teams will go to a 5 round shootout (5 players from each team, each shooter a different player)
REMEMBER: Overtimes - No time outs in over time; 1 minute half time; teams switch sides at half
