3.1.2 U11, U13, U15, and U18 players are ranked based on skill level determined through Tryouts

and Evaluations. Players are assigned to teams based on the process laid out in Section 3.2 and

Section 3.3.

3.1.3 TCFIHA has Tier 1 teams at the following levels: U11, U13, U15, and U18. These teams are

known as: U11 A1, U13 A1, U15 A1, U18 A1.

3.1.4 TCFIHA has Tier 2 teams, when able, at the following levels: U11 A2, U13 A2, U15 A2, U18 A2

3.1.5 The Rep Tryout & Tiered House Evaluation Process is reviewed annually by The Board and may

be amended due to current guidance from our governing bodies and current Health and

Safety guidelines.

3.1.6 The evaluators may be from outside our Association (hired or volunteers) or from within our

Association. If evaluators from within our Association are being used, they must not have an

athlete in the division they are evaluating.

3.1.7 All evaluators are selected and approved by the Board of Directors prior to Evaluations.

3.1.8 Players have the option not to be evaluated and placed on the lowest level team.

3.1.9 Any player unable to attend a part or all of the TCFIHA Rep Tryout or Tiered House Evaluation

Process must complete a Player Absence Form.

3.1.10 Link to submit a player absence form: Absence Form Link

3.2.1 To be considered for a Tier 1 or Tier 2 team, each player is expected to attend ALL tryout

sessions. If a player misses a tryout session without submitting a player absence form, that

player will receive a score of zero for that session. If a player is unable to attend a tryout

session(s) a player absence form must be completed and your Division Coordinator will review

the situation with the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee will decide on the

individual situation.

3.2.2 If a player joins the association during the season prior to the cut-off date for carding and

wishes to be considered for a Tier 1 or Tier 2 team, they must apply to the TCFIHA Board of

Directors, and a decision will be made on an individual basis.

3.2.3 Generally, Tier 1 & Tier 2 teams will be determined by mid-September of each season.

3.2.4 For Tier 1 & Tier 2 tryouts, each player must specify their preferred position: forward, defense

or goalie.

3.2.5 Players are selected for teams based on a combination of their declared position, overall skill,

leadership and demeanor both on and off the ice.

3.2.6 Tier 1 & Tier 2 tryouts consist of 3 Rounds (unless there are less than 30 players trying out in

which case Round 2 may be skipped). Players are ranked at the end of Round 1 and of Round

2 (when applicable).

3.2.7 Round 1 consists of one skill session and two game/scrimmage sessions.

3.2.8 Round 2 consists of one or two game(s) and is by invite only.

3.2.9 Round 3 consists of three or more ice sessions (practices or games) as well as dryland or team

building events at the discretion of the Head Coach.

3.2.10 For goalies, tryouts consist of one “goalie only” skills session and two or more game/scrimmage sessions.

3.2.11 In Round 1 & Round 2, skaters will be evaluated by 2-3 independent evaluators and goalies will

be evaluated by 1 independent evaluator.

3.2.12 In Round 3, skaters and goalies are evaluated by the Head Coaches.

3.2.13 Releases are conducted at the end of each phase. The number of releases for each round is

dependent on the projected team size, positional declarations and the dispersion of player

scores. An email will be sent to all players in the session indicating the releases for each

round.

3.2.14 TEAM ROSTERS ARE APPROVED BY THE TEAM SELECTION COMMITTEE. The Team

Selection Committee consists of members of the Board of Directors EXCLUDING any member of

the Board with an athlete in the division of the team seeking approvals.Association Policies.

3.2.15 The final roster is determined at the end of Round 3. The Head Coach must submit his or her

recommended final roster to the Team Selection Committee for approval before notifying players.

3.2.16 A1 Final Pool players released at the end of Round 3 are not guaranteed spots on the A2 team

(if applicable). Players released from the lowest rep team are not guaranteed a spot on the

tiered house team(s). Instead, they enter the Tiered House Evaluations and continue to be

evaluated alongside players who participated in those evaluations.

3.2.17 ALL DECISIONS OF THE TEAM SELECTION COMMITTEE ARE FINAL.

3.3.1 The number of players assigned to a team is determined by the Board of Directors each season

in compliance with PCAHA policy.

3.3.2 Each season the team sizes are determined by the number of registrations and other factors

such as current guidance from our governing bodies and current Health and Safety guidelines.

3.3.3 At the end of Round 1, the top 24+ players are invited to participate in the Round 2 Game(s).

The team sizes, the number of declared forwards and defence and dispersion of scores are

factored in when determining how many players will be invited to Round 2. Team sizes,

positional declarations and dispersion of scores will also dictate if any of the players released

from Round 1 will be assigned to a Tier 2 Final Pool or if all released from Round 1 will be

assigned to the Tiered House Evaluations.

3.3.4 At the end of Round 2, the projected number of players for the Tier 1 team plus additional

players up to a maximum of 23 total will be assigned to the Tier 1 Final Pool for Round 3. The

team sizes, the number of declared forwards and defence and the dispersion of scores are

factored in when determining how many players will be assigned to the Tier 1 Final Pool. Team

sizes, positional declarations and dispersion of scores will also dictate how many of the players

from Round 2 will be assigned to the Tier 2 Final Pool for Round 3 and how many will be

released from Round 2 and assigned to the Tiered House Evaluations.

3.3.5 Players are assigned to Round 2 and Round 3 based on their tryout scores and the positions

they declared for tryouts. Head Coaches can also request to have 2 additional players added

from the Round 2 group that were not originally selected for Round 3.

3.3.6 The top ranked players for both forward and defence are "confirmed" on the Tier 1 teams and

the remaining players are “proposed” to the team. (See chart below).

3.3.7 The Tier 2 Final Pool will not have any “confirmed” players and all players will be “proposed”

3.3.8 During Round 3, The Head Coach will evaluate the “proposed” group of players in their final

pool and select their team, based on a combination of their declared position, overall skill,

leadership and demeanor both on and off the ice.

3.3.9 Should the Head Coach select lower ranked players before higher ranked players from the final

pool he or she is required to provide a rationale for their recommendation. The Team Selection

Committee has the right to not accept the rationale and require the Head Coach to take the

players in order of ranking.

3.3.10 If more than 4 players from outside TCFIHA are attending the Tier 1 player tryouts the

“proposed to team” number may be increased considering no more than 30% of the final

players can be composed of players from outside TCFIHA. (These are from adjacent

Associations where their home association did not declare a Tier 1 team)

3.3.11 The Head Coach may request permission from the Team Selection Committee to reassign a

“confirmed” skater or highest ranked goaltender to the “proposed” group. Permission would

only be granted if there is an irresolvable issue concerning the player’s commitment to the

team or a proven behaviour issue that would disrupt the team. Such a decision would need to

be approved by the Board of Directors.

3.3.12 At the end of Round 3, the Head Coach will submit his or her recommended final roster to the

Team Selection Committee for approval before notifying players.

3.3.13 In the event, the number of players that have declared to attend Tier 1 & Tier 2 Tryouts is

roughly equivalent to or less than the final team size, TCFIHA may invite other players that

have not declared to attend evaluations or allow the Tier 1 team to roster fewer players than

allowed per the team size table.

3.3.14 TCFIHA Board of Directors may also decide to forgo the tryout process in this situation and

name the players as the final team where the number of declared players is equal to the final

team size.

3.3.15 TCFIHA reserves the right to make the final decision on the number of rep teams at any time

before, during or after tryouts. All players should be endeavouring to make the A1 team for

their division. Refunds will not be issued if it is decided that a rep team will not be iced for that

season. Decisions about the number of rep teams will be based on some or all of the

following factors:

• Number of goalies trying out - must be enough for at least 1 per rep team
• Minimum number of skaters - A1=30, A2=45
• Calibre of players in current year’s tryouts

3.4.1 To be considered for Tier House Teams, each player must attend all tryout sessions. If a player

misses a tryout session, without submitting a player absence form, that player will receive a

score of zero for that session. If a player is unable to attend a tryout session(s) a player

absence form must be completed and your Division Coordinator will review the situation with

the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee will decide on the individual situation.

3.4.2 Generally, teams will be determined by the end of September of each season.

3.4.3 For Tiered House Tryouts, each player must specify their preferred position: forward, defense

or goalie.

3.4.4 Players are selected for teams based on a combination of their declared position, overall skill,

leadership and demeanor both on and off the ice.

3.4.5 Tiered House Tryouts consist of 3 Rounds (unless there are less than 40 players being

evaluated in a division in which case Round 2 may be skipped). Players are ranked at the end

of Round 1 and of Round 2 (when applicable).

3.4.6 Round 1 consists of one skill session and two game/scrimmage sessions.

3.4.7 Round 2 consists of one or two game(s) and is by invite only.

3.4.8 Round 3 consists of two or more ice sessions (practices or games)

3.4.9 For goalies, tryouts consist of one  “goalie only” skills session and two or more game/scrimmage sessions.

3.4.10 In Round 1 & Round 2, skaters will be evaluated by 2-3 independent evaluators and goalies will

be evaluated by 1 independent evaluator.

3.4.11 In Round 3, skaters and goalies are evaluated by the Head Coach.

3.4.12 Releases are conducted at the end of each phase. The number of releases for each round is

dependent on the projected team size, positional declarations and the dispersion of player

scores. An email will be sent to all players in the session indicating the releases for each

round

3.4.13 TEAM ROSTERS ARE APPROVED BY THE TEAM SELECTION COMMITTEE. The Team

Selection Committee consists of members of the Board of Directors EXCLUDING any member of the

Board with an athlete in the division of the team seeking approvals.

3.4.13 The final roster is determined at the end of Round 3. The Head Coach must submit his or her

recommended final roster to the Team Selection Committee for approval before notifying

players.

3.4.14 Players released at the end of Round 3 are placed on one of our Non-Tiered House Teams.

3.4.15 ALL DECISIONS OF THE TEAM SELECTION COMMITTEE ARE FINAL.

3.5.1 The number of players assigned to a team is determined by the Board of Directors each season

in compliance with PCAHA policy.

3.5.2 Each season the team sizes are determined by the number of registrations and other factors

such as current guidance from our governing bodies and current Health and Safety guidelines.

3.5.3 At the end of Round 1, 24+ players are invited to participate in the Round 2 Game(s). A select

number of top ranked players may also be selected to skip Round 2 and proceed directly to

Round 3. The team sizes, the number of declared forwards and defence and dispersion of

scores are factored in when determining how many players will be invited to Round 2. Those

released from Round 1 will be assigned to a non-tiered house team.

3.5.4 At the end of Round 2, the projected number of players for the Tiered House Teams plus

additional players up to a maximum of 23 players per team will be assigned to the Tiered

House Final Pool for Round 3. The team sizes, the number of declared forwards and defence

and the dispersion of scores are factored in when determining how many players will be

assigned to the Tier House Final Pool and how many will be released from Round 2 and

assigned to the non-tiered house teams.

3.5.5 Players are assigned to Round 2 and Round 3 based on their evaluation scores and the

positions they declared for evaluations. Head Coaches can also request to have 2 additional

players added from the Round 2 group that were not originally selected for Round 3.

3.5.6 If there is only one Tiered House Team, the top ranked players for both forward and defence

are “confirmed”on the team and the remaining players are “proposed” to the team. (See

chart below).

3.5.7 During Round 3, if there is only one Tiered House Team, the Head Coach will evaluate the

“proposed” group of players in the final pool and after the games/practice sessions have been

completed the Head Coach will select their team, based on a combination of their declared

position, overall skill, leadership and demeanor both on and off the ice.

3.5.8 If there is only one Tiered House Team and should the Head Coach select lower ranked players

before higher ranked players from the final pool he or she is required to provide a rationale for

their recommendation. The Team Selection Committee has the right to not accept the

rationale and require the Head Coach to take the players in order of ranking.

3.5.9 If there is more than one Tiered House Team, each Head Coach will select two assistant

coaches. The three players associated with each coaching group (the Head Coach and two

assistant coaches) will be assigned draft positions based on their evaluation scores. Teams will

be selected from the Round 3 participant pool by way of a snake draft. These assigned draft

positions will then be used during the corresponding rounds of each team’s draft. Round 3

participants that are not drafted will be placed on a non-tiered house team.

3.5.10 If there is only one Tiered House Team, the Head Coach may request permission from the

Team Selection Committee to reassign a “confirmed” skater or highest ranked goaltender to

the “proposed” group. Permission would only be granted if there is an irresolvable issue

concerning the player’s commitment to the team or a proven behavior issue that would

disrupt the team. Such a decision would need to be approved by the Board of Directors.

3.5.11 At the end of Round 3, the Head Coach(es) will submit his or her recommended final roster or

their drafted roster to the Team Selection Committee for approval before notifying players.

3.5.12 In the event, the number of players that have declared to attend Tier House Evaluations is

roughly equivalent to or less than the final team size, TCFIHA may invite other players that

have not declared to attend evaluations or allow the Tiered House team to roster fewer

players than allowed per the team size table.

3.5.13 TCFIHA Board of Directors may also decide to forgo the tryout process in this situation and

name the players as the final team where the number of declared players is equal to the final

team size.

3.5.14 ALL DECISIONS OF THE TEAM SELECTION COMMITTEE ARE FINAL.

3.6.1 There will be a non-refundable fee for all Tier 1 & Tier 2 Rep Tryouts. There are additional

expectations of players on Tier 1 & Tier 2 teams. Before signing up for Tier 1 & Tier 2

evaluations consider these additional expectations:

• Likelihood of a Paid Coach that is paid for through team fees, and not by the association.
• Additional practices or dryland are normal for Tier 1 & Tier 2 teams, the extra training is paid for through team fees, and not by the association.
• An expectation of all team members to make hockey the priority.
• Attendance at all practices and games except in unforeseen circumstances, and with appropriate communication to the coaches.
• Participation in several out-of-town tournaments.
• Commitment to strive for, and participate in, Provincial Championships.

3.6.2 Along with these additional expectations there are additional costs which must be made up by

the parents, either through contributions or fundraising. It is expected that all players or

parents will contribute equally to meet the extra costs associated with playing Tier 1 & Tier 2

hockey. Finally, players may be expected to sign a letter to acknowledge and agree to the level

of commitment required.

3.6.3 For Rep Teams, equal playing time is not guaranteed and should not be expected. Ice time is

earned and determined at the sole discretion of the coaching staff based on factors including

(but not limited to) effort, performance, attendance, attitude, game situation, and team

needs. Playing time will vary from game to game and player to player. Coaches may shorten

the bench, use special teams, or rely more heavily on certain players. Players are expected to

accept and fulfill roles assigned by the coaching staff, including special teams, line assignment,

and situational usage. Coaching decisions, including but not limited to ice time, line

combinations, and special teams usage are final. There is no expectation of equal or

“fair” ice time over any game, tournament or the season as a whole.

3.7.1 There will be a non-refundable fee for all Tiered House Evaluations. There are additional

expectations of players on Tiered House teams. Before signing up for Tiered House Evaluations

consider these additional expectations:

• Additional practices or dryland can occur at the discretion of the Head Coach, the extra training is paid for through team fees, and not by the association.
• An expectation of all team members to make hockey a priority.
• Communication regarding attendance at all practices and games except in unforeseen circumstances.
• Participation in out-of-town tournaments.

3.7.2 Along with these additional expectations there are additional costs which must be made up by

the parents, either through contributions or fundraising. It is expected that all players or

parents will contribute equally to meet the extra costs associated with playing Tiered House

hockey.

3.7.3 For Tiered House Teams, equal ice time for all players is mandatory except the coach may play

a power play and penalty killing line, as well as have the last 5 minutes of a game to play the

players that the coach chooses. Unlike with non-tiered house teams, the tiered house coach

does not need to balance the ice time over the season for the penalty kill, power play, or last 5

minutes of a game. The tiered house coaches must balance the ice time at all other times for

all games.

3.8.1 To promote the growth and development of female hockey, PCAHA Rules permit female

players who reside outside the boundaries of an association to move into that association on a

season-by-season basis.

3.8.2 U7, U9, U11 and U21 aged players may move to a neighbouring association if their residential

association does not offer a Female team in their division. U13, U15 and U18 players may

move for the same reasons, or if there is no Hockey Canada Carded Female team an “A” team – in the

player’s residential association.

3.8.3 In the case of U13, U15 and U18“A” when an Association offers a Female team in their division

but no Hockey Canada Carded Female team - an “A” team - a Preliminary Try-out Approval

Form must be completed. Once approved that player/goalie becomes a preliminary try-out

player/goalie.

---

To ensure opportunities are provided to our membership a:

3.8.4 U13 and U15 “A” TCFIHA Hockey Canada Carded Female Team can be comprised of no more

than 30% of preliminary try-out players.

3.8.5 U18 “A” TCFIHA Hockey Canada Carded Female Team can be comprised of no more than 50% preliminary try-out players.

3.8.6 For the case where a non-preliminary try-out player and a preliminary try-out player are

deemed to be equally skilled, preference will be given to the non-preliminary try-out player

3.8.7 Contrary to section 3.1 “Team Selection Methodology applicable to preliminary try-out players.

- players confirmed to a team” is not applicable to preliminary tryout players.

3.8.8 In the case of goalies, if 2 or more non-preliminary try-out goalies are deemed

“Rep” goaltender(s) by an independent goalie evaluator, one or two of these goalies will secure the

goalie spot(s).

3.8.9 If there is 1 non-preliminary try-out goalie deemed a “Rep” goaltender by an independent

goalie evaluator, a preliminary try-out goalie will be considered to be added to carry a second

goaltender. This decision will be made by the assigned Coach with discussion with the

independent goalie evaluator and to be approved by the TCFIHA Board of Directors.

3.8.10 If there are no non-preliminary try-out goalies trying out or deemed a “Rep”

goaltender by an independent goalie evaluator, a preliminary try-out goalie(s) will be considered for the team.

Approval from the TCFIHA Board of Directors is required.

 

3.9.1 The TCFIHA fields teams in all age groups sanctioned by the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey

Association (PCAHA) and supports players playing at their age level. Players are required to

play in the Division appropriate for their age group unless a player is granted Exceptional

Player Status.

3.9.2 In order to be granted Exceptional Player Status a player’s skills and stage of development

must be similar to that of the top players in a higher Tier 1 Division.

3.9.3 A request for an exceptional player move must be made in writing to the TCFIHA President

prior to July 15th preceding the season the request is being made for.

3.9.4 In order to qualify, if the higher age Tier 1 evaluations concludes PRIOR to the conclusion of

the players own age group's evaluation, the player must pay for and attend the first round of

Tier 1 evaluations for the higher age group and must be ranked as one of the top 5 skaters or

top 2 goalies in that age group based on their total score at the end of Round 1 in order to

move on to Round 2. In Round 2, that player must be ranked as one of the top 3 skaters or top

goalie in Round 2 to move into Round 3.

3.9.5 In the event that the higher age evaluations conclude AFTER the conclusion of the players own

age group's evaluation, the player must attend the first round of Tier 1 evaluations for their

age group and must be ranked as one of the top 3 skaters or the top goalie in their age group

based on their total score. The player may then request to participate in the second round of

evaluations for the Tier 1 Division Team in the next higher age group. The player must then be

ranked as one of the top 3 players in that higher age group or the top goalie in Round 2 to

move into Round 3.

3.9.6 At the conclusion of the entire evaluation process, the TCFIHA Board will determine if that

player will be granted Exceptional Player Status for that season.

3.9.7 The coach of the team in the higher Tier 1 Division must believe that the player is one of the

top 3 players or the top goalie in the higher age group.

3.9.8 If the player does not meet that criteria, then she must play in the division for her age group.

3.9.9 This policy is subject to team sizes and space availability.

 

3.10.1 The TCFIHA Board of Directors may request underage players to play a division higher to

balance the number of players on teams and to be able to field teams at all age levels.

Requests to play a division lower are handled on a case by case basis. Requests to play on a

balanced team in a higher division, are also handled on a case by case basis.

3.11.1 TCFIHA supports the concept of the affiliate player. An affiliate player is defined as a registered

player who is temporarily included on the playing roster of a team in a higher division or

category with the association. Affiliate players must give priority to games, practices and team

events of their regularly rostered team. Anytime a team uses an affiliate player that team

must not remove an existing player from their roster. All players must receive fair playing time

as per TCFIHA and PCAHA policies

3.11.2 Rep teams (HC-Carded teams (integrated or female), U13 and above) are governed by PCAHA

rule C (29), and female C teams (Non-HC Carded Female Teams) are governed by PCAHA rule C

(31).

3.11.3 Prior to a player being placed on an affiliate list or requesting permission from the league

manager:

a. The coach of the requesting team must contact the coach of the team the player is to be

drawn from indicating their intent to affiliate the player.

b. The Division Manager is to be copied on these requests.

c. Players being affiliated to a carded team may appear on only one list. First request is to be

given to the more senior or higher-level team.

3.11.4 To use affiliate players, coaches (of the affiliate team) must first have written permission for

each game (email is acceptable) from the coach of the team the player is rostered with. As per

PCAHA rules, an affiliate player may play no more than 10 league and playoff games

(exhibition and/or tournament games are excluded) with any other team. To ensure that a

player does not play more than 10 games away from their rostered team, both coaches are

encouraged to track the usage of players.

3.11.5 Before inviting an affiliate player to a practice, the coach must have verbal permission from the

coach of the team the player is rostered with, each time the player is invited. This should also

be done in an email confirming the request with the Division Coordinator “cc’d”

3.11.6 Failure to follow the affiliate process may result in disciplinary action, which may include

suspension of the coach.

3.12.1 Registering at TCFIHA means that the placement of your child is solely at the discretion of the

TCFIHA and its representatives. TCFIHA does acknowledge that there may be times that

administrative errors are made or something is overlooked in its evaluations and have thus

provided a process for parents to request a review of the placement decision of their child.

3.12.1 Key Important Notes:

• Any Review Requests submitted prior to the mandated 12 hour “cooling off period will not be acknowledged nor responded to.
• All Review Requests are to be submitted online using the “Evaluation Review Request Form” and are to be submitted after 12 hours but prior to 36 hours of the release.
• All Review Requests must be accompanied by a $250 payment which is non-refundable except in the case where it is determined that the player is to be moved back to the round or pool from which they were released for further evaluation.
• A Request for Review must only be about your child. References to other players/parents will not be considered
• Anonymous Review Requests will not be acknowledged nor accepted.
• Round 3 releases are not open for review.
• Results of the Review Request are not appealable.
• Keep in mind that it is more likely that the original decision will be maintained than overturned.

3.12.2 Process:

a. All Review Requests and payments must be submitted via online form.

b. The Division Coordinator will ensure payment has been provided and will present the

request to the Executive Committee.

c. All Review Requests require a $250 pre-payment by credit card which is refundable only if

the Executive Committee determines, after re-evaluation, that the player is to be moved

back to the pool from which they were released.

i. Credit card processing fees will not be refunded

ii. Collected fees will be used to pay for an additional third party evaluator and/or offset our Rep Tryout

and House Evaluation costs.

d. The Executive Committee and 3rd Party Evaluators will review the evaluation notes and

scores and will provide the Division Coordinator with their decision as to whether or not a

re-evaluation will be provided who, in turn, will advise the parent submitting the request.

e. Not all review requests will result in a re-evaluation. Upon review of the request and all

documentation regarding that player, should the Executive Committee clearly feel that the

decision to re-evaluate will not change the reassignment of the player there will be no

re-evaluation.

f. Refunds are NOT provided even if no re-evaluation occurs.

g. Should the executive committee determine that a re-evaluation should take place, 3rd Party

Evaluators will objectively re-evaluate with scores and comments.

h. Should a re-evaluation occur, the family will be provided with a written summary of the

re-evaluation.

i. At no time during this process should there be any communication from the parents to the

3rd Party Evaluators.

3.12.3 Timeframe:

a. Due to the compressed time frame of evaluations, the standard “24 Hour Rule” is amended

to 12 hours. This still allows both parties to have a cool down period so that the issue at

hand can be dealt with rationally.

b. Any requests for review filed prior to the 12 hour cooling down period will NOT be

responded to.

c. All Review Requests are to be submitted online using the “Evaluation Review Request Form”

and are to be submitted after 12 hours but prior to 36 hours of the release.

d. The Executive Committee will meet with the 3rd Party Evaluators before the player’s next

session to discuss any review requests.

e. The player under review will be required to remain in the round/pool that she has been

reassigned to until the Review Request and/or re-evaluation is completed

f. If a re-evaluation is provided, 3rd Party Evaluators will meet with the Executive Committee

immediately after the session to share the evaluation results of the player under review. At

that time, a decision will be made to either keep the player in the assigned round/pool or

have the player reassigned to another round/pool.

g. The decision will be communicated via email from the Division Coordinator.

h. If desired, a subsequent meeting can be arranged for the parents to meet with the members

of the Executive Committee to discuss the results of the evaluation review.

i. After the meeting, the review process is complete and the results are not appealable.

3.12.4 Link to submit a review request: EVALUATION REVIEW REQUEST FORM

3.13.1 Decisions are made as to the numbers, sizes, and composition of tiered teams balanced teams

based on the number of players who have registered. Players who participate in Rep Tryouts or

Tiered House Evaluations, then leave the team they are assigned to, can cause significant

difficulties to all the teams in that division. As a result, the following restrictions have been

imposed to minimize these situations:

3.13.2 Any player who self-releases and leaves their placement after the commencement of Round 3

will be placed into Round 4 and will be placed on to one of the non-tiered house teams for the

season.

3.13.3 Any player who self-releases and leaves their placement after the commencement of Round 3

will not be entitled to AP , practice or be called up to for any tiered team equal or higher to the

one they were assigned to for that season. They will still be able to AP and/or practice with

any team below the group they self-released from.

3.13.4 Tryout fees are non-refundable once rep tryouts have commenced.
