GameSheet Penalty Instructions
I am seeing many errors in entering penalties in GameSheet. Please document scorekeeper name and phone number.
Here are some helpful tips...
XXX-MIN 2 (or 1:30) minute Minor penalty
XXX-MAJ 5 minute Major penalty
XXX-MSC 10 minute Misconduct penalty
XXX-GM Game Misconduct penalty
XXX-PS Penalty Shot penalty
XXX-MP Match Penalty
OFF = Time on clock player is off the ice
START = Start time of penalty; usually same as OFF unless there are already two penalties on the same team being served.
ON = Time player returns to ice. Usually when penalty is over, e.g. 2 minutes or time of a PP goal. Could be the next whistle after coincidental or misconduct penalty.
SB = Player who serves Minor penalty for Misconduct, etc.
Minor + Misconduct (2 & 10) Ten minute penalty START time is after 2 minute minor penalty is complete, whether by elapsed time or PP Goal.

Fair Play Point Guidelines
From the Rules and Regulations Handbook on Minnesota Hockey P 28
Fair Play
1. All leagues administered by MH shall use Fair Play rules to determine league standings. League standings will be determined using the following Fair Play point system: Win = 2 points, Tie = 1 point, Loss = 0 points, plus 1 Fair Play point. In the event that teams play an unequal number of games, the standings can be determined by a percentage of available points in the games played. The following delineates the recommended Fair Play rules. Leagues may amend these rules by submitting changes in writing for approval by the HEP committee prior to the start of league.
2. Each team starts the game with their Fair Play point. They will lose their Fair Play point if:
a. Total Fair play penalty minutes criteria is exceeded.
b. Per Conduct Rule XIV.C.2, spectator conduct becomes so abusive that, in referee(s)’ opinion, it is distracting from the game or inciting players, requiring the referee(s) to stop play and request specified individuals leave the arena.
c. Coach is assessed a Game Misconduct or Match Penalty.
d. An off-ice official (timekeeper, scorekeeper, penalty box attendant) provided by one of the teams exhibits conduct that results in the person being removed from their position by the referee(s).

5. If two or more teams are tied in final standings, the following process shall be used to determine position in the standings. If the tied teams played an unequal number of games, the formula results stated below must be determined by a percentage of available points in the games played. When the tie involves two teams, the tie breaking formulas shall be used in succession until the tie is broken beginning with 5.a. When the tie involves three or more teams, their position in the standings shall be determined using the same process, except when one formula establishes a position for one or more teams, each team is placed in the applicable position. Once a team(s) is placed, the tie-breaking process shall be restarted at formula 5.a for the remaining tied teams.
a. Head to head competition among tied teams including Fair Play points.

DISTRICT 12 GAME CANCELATION POLICY (Updated)
The HOME TEAM will confirm scheduled games with the visiting team at least 1 week prior to the game time. Notification of cancellation of a District game must be given no later than 24 hours prior to game time; with the exception of the canceling team being physically unable to play (i.e. large number of team members being ill, inclement weather). Inclement weather is defined as when the MN Highway Department declares "no unnecessary travel". Note: A message on an answering machine is not confirmation of cancelation!
"No Shows" will pay the home team for ice time and $200 to referees. "No Shows" will forfeit district points for that game, allowing the opposing team to add 2 points to their standings. Any team failing to notify the opposing team of a district game cancellation shall be considered a "No Show".
If the Home team is a “no show” or is not prepared to host the game as scheduled they will pay $200.00 to cover the cost of travel for the visiting team.
It is mandatory that all district games be played. If a team refuses to play another team, the non-forfeiting team will be awarded 2 points.
CANCELLING GAMES. Any team that is a “no show” to a game will be fined $275.00 per cancelled game. The fine will be paid to District 12 within 7 days of the date of the cancelled game. District 12 will direct $200.00 of the fee to the other team/association involved in the cancelled game. The remaining $75.00 will be retained by District 12 as a fine for the cancelled game. In the case of a double forfeit, both teams and associations involved will be fined $75.00. Exceptions to this would be inclement weather or severe team illness.
No “fair play points” will be awarded to either team for canceled games as no game was played. A fair play point may be awarded to a team if a team forfeits a game, per the District Director’s approval.
Addendum 12/18/23
As per past practice and communication with former District Directors and Minnesota Hockey President, any team that desires to play in the end of season District, Region, and State Tournaments MUST schedule and play a complete District 12 schedule.
