Re: 2019-20 D-III games / scores
Originally posted by GTOWN View PostDIII teams have to practice at least 5 times with a coach before they are permitted to have any type of game: even exhibition or scrimmages. Since Monday October 14th is the first day coaches are allowed on the ice, That means the 19th would be the earliest someone can play (unless you want to get creative and do a few two-a-days but I doubt that would happen at this level).
You can't start regular games five days after you practice just because you started practice at the earliest allowed date.Russell Jaslow

Re: 2019-20 D-III games / scores
Originally posted by Russell Jaslow View PostD3 rules state you can't start the season till November unless the last weekend of October is on a weekend (technically, they count back x number of weeks from when the championship weekend is). Exhibitions and scrimmages can happen sooner. I think I got that right. But close enough.

You're right on the regular season game timing. However, even exhibition/scrimmages can't start before the team has been on the ice at least 5 times with coaches - regardless of dates.

Originally posted by MND3Dad View PostInteresting, because Eau Claire and River Falls have a scrimmage scheduled for Friday. I'm sure they would never do that without the proper respect for the rules.

What's the maximum number of games these teams can schedule again?
There are exceptions. Foreign trips, which are allowed once every four years, don't count towards the limit nor towards the dates of the season. Oswego men went to Italy this past summer.
(And in D1, certain special tournaments and games against Alaska schools don't count towards your limit.)Russell Jaslow

Re: 2019-20 D-III games / scores
The acclimatization period is 5 days, not practices. You cannot run 3 practices at 60 minutes each and say, "Well that's three. Just not need two more before we can play."
Its 5 practices conducted on separate dates, prior to participation in any "outside" competition. An on-ice practice conducted on the same date as a regular contest, preseason scrimmage, exhibition game or joint practice is countable toward the five-day acclimatization period.
So if UWRF and UWEC have practiced M-F from 12-2pm...they can scrimmage later that night on Friday the 18th.
