The Players Jamboree 2026 playing format and rules

• Each team will consist of a total of 8 players (4 forwards, 3 defensemen, 1 goalie)
• Captains must choose 3 defensemen from the designated Defensemen draft list.
• The two defensemen captains only have to choose 2 defensemen from the designated Defensemen draft list (if no designated defenseman are left on the list, captains will have to choose one or two forwards and designate them as defensemen)
•  Jamboree playing format will be 4-on-4.
•  Each team is guaranteed 3 round-robin games. 

• All 6 teams after the Saturday qualifying games will move on to the playoff rounds on Sunday. 

• Each game will consist of one 20-minute (running-time) period with the last 1 minute consisting of stop time.

• No timeouts. 

• All Over-30 league rules will be in effect.  Only exception is the entire perimeter netting around the rink is in play; if the ball is shot into the netting, no delay of game penalty will be called. 

• All penalties will result in penalty shots. The opposing player directly impacted by the penalty call shall be designated to take the penalty. If the penalty results in a “non-direct” infraction on another player (delay of game, unsportsmanlike conduct, misconduct, etc.), the opposing team captain can designate any player on the rink to take the penalty shot. 

• All penalty shots shall result in stop time.  If no goal is scored, the resulting faceoff will take place deep in the penalized team’s defensive zone.  The clock will again run once the faceoff takes place. 

• If the same player receives 3 penalties in the same game, said player will be removed from the game.
  

• If teams both receive matching penalties, each team will play 3-on-3 for a minute and a half.  Said penalized players will serve this time in their respective penalty box. 

• All round robin games that end in ties after 20 minutes shall remain a tie. No overtime will be played. 

• Team standings will be determined by the following:
• Wins = 10 points
• Ties = 5 points
• Loss = 0 points
• Goal Differential (Team wins 4-2; add 2 points to their total) 

• Team tied in the standings will be determined by the following tie breakers:
• Most points
• Most wins
• Fewest losses
• Head-to-head records

• 2^nd place team receives a first-round playoff bye
• 3^rd place team playing the 6^th place team
• 4^th place team playing the 5^th place team

• 1^st place team plays TBD based on seed
• 2^nd place team plays TBD based on seed

• The two winning playoff semifinal teams will play in the Finals. 

• Playoff games that end in a tie after 20 minutes will move to alternating penalty shots by each team.  The first team to score wins, as long as the other team has been given an equal chance to score (if your team has taken a penalty shot and missed and the other team follows and scores on their penalty shot, the game is over). 

• The same player cannot keep taking the penalty shot

• Lob Rule: The Over-30 League allows for the use of lobbing as a strategic play.  However, if a player lobs (or shoots) the ball up and it hits the ceiling or any the supporting
• I-beams anywhere on the rink, this will result in a “Delay of Game” penalty and penalty shot. 
• When a ball is lobed and hits a light fixture or either of the hanging wires over the center of the rink, the ball contact with those items will result in a faceoff at center rink.

• Grabbing the Ball: This is allowed anywhere on the rink in ANY ZONE ON THE RINK. However, players must immediately drop the ball on the rink and continue with a hockey play. Players cannot hold the ball and run with it or toss it to another teammate. 
• Any violations from a defensive player in the defensive zone will result in a whistle and the ensuing faceoff will take place deep in the defensive zone faceoff dots. 
• Any violations from an offensive player will result in a whistle and the ensuing faceoff will be high outside the offensive zone (but not deep in their defensive zone). 
• Any player (except the goaltender) who picks up the ball from the floor, while play is in progress, the play will be blown dead, and a faceoff will go deep into that team’s defensive zone. 
• If a player of the defending team (except the goaltender) picks up the ball from the floor while it is in their team’s goaltenders’ crease, the play shall be stopped, and a Penalty Shot shall be awarded to the non-offending team.

• High Sticking: Players are not allowed to “call for pass” by waiving their stick above their shoulders.  A referee can call for an immediate penalty (and penalty shot) even without direct contact with another player.  Players are responsible for their sticks at all times (including contact from another player’s stick).

• Offsides: The Over-30 League does not use a floating blue line or the icing lines for offsides.  Offsides is denoted by the center rink blue line.

• Hand Pass: Players can handpass the ball to another teammate within THEIR OWN DEFENSIVE ZONE without a penalty being called.  Handpasses are not permitted in the offensive zone.  All offensive handpasses will be blown dead and the ensuing faceoff will be outside the offensive zone. 
• A completed Hand Pass is one where the second player touching the ball, after the Hand Pass, gains possession of the ball. The ball touching the player, stick or any part on the player’s equipment is NOT deemed possession.

• Faceoff Designation (Icing Calls): In the event of an icing call, the team on offense has the option to designate which faceoff circle they chose to use on the draw.  The centerman for the offensive team can request their preferred dot prior to the two teams lining up.

• Faceoff Violations: The Referee’s now have the discretion to toss players out of the faceoff circle for faceoff violations.  Another player from the floor (only) can be used to take the draw.  Referees are also watching for “jumpers and movers” during the draw.
