FARGO FLYERS INTERNATIONAL SQUIRT TOURNAMENT

SQUIRT OLYMPICS

To: Squirt Olympics Participants

Its going to be an exciting 25th annual Fargo Flyers International Squirt Hockey Tournament. As in the past we will be offering our Squirt Olympics Event on the opening evening of the tournament.

Along with the excitement comes challenges as well to the Squirt Olympics. We have changed our format as follows:

1. Participants will not be allowed on the ice while events are on-going.
2. Only the actual racers will be allowed to enter the ice area during the events.
3. All participants will enter the ice area through the Zamboni door entrance. At that point an event coordinator will direct them to appropriate event starters and timers.
4. Please maintain an open and unobstructed walk way in front of your area. Place all player bags, sticks and team equipment in team seating area.

We believe this will give all participants fair opportunities when skating their event. And provide added safety, enjoyment and comfort of teams and fans viewing the event.

Important !!!

Please come fully dressed in hockey gear as you would for a game. There will be no locker rooms available due to the number of participants, only seating, skate and goalie pad changing areas for each team. Reminder: Please store all team equipment in team seating area.

If you have not pre-registered please do so as soon as possible, as this will help the event run as smooth and efficiently as possible.

Coaches / Team Reps, please listen to the PA Announcer for announcements of the start of each event. When your event is announced you may have ONLY your team participants for that event make their way to the Zamboni entrance using the walkway around the outside of the ice area. Enter the ice area only through the Zamboni entrance doors.

Our itinerary for the evening of the Squirt Olympics will be as follows:

6:00 pm - All participants will be allowed on the ice area for a 5 minute warm up skate.
6:05 pm - Introduction and National Anthems Played, both U.S. and Canada.
6:10 pm - All group photograph taken at center ice. Please follow photographer's instructions.
6:20 pm - All participants must leave the ice area, EXCEPT for the Goaltenders. They may stay on the ice for the Goaltenders race, as that will be the first event.

From this time on through the end of the event, all skaters must re-enter through the Zamboni doors and exit as directed by the coordinator on the ice. This will keep the ice area clear for racers on the ice. You can have your other participants stay in your area.

Thank you in advance
And Good Luck to all Participants.
Squirt Olympics Coordinator

- Qualifiying Round: Each of the five shooters from the top of the circles will get FOUR shoots on four 10" targets, with knock out inserts, attached to the corners of a regulation goal net placed on the goal line. Each target is worth points: lower left = one point, lower right = two, upper right = three & upper left = four points. Once a target insert is knocked out and counted the target is no longer available. Total points of the Five players will be tallied. Top THREE teams will qualify for the shoot-out on the same targets. In the case of a tie in qualifying for the shoot-out, one shooter from each team will take TWO additional shots attempting to break the tie. If still tied after the second round of tie breakers, select a different shooter and shoot two more pucks. Procedure will be repeated until winning team is determined.

NOTE: In case of a tie in events 1 through 3, the winner will be determined by the flip of a coin.
