Playoffs & champions

Every sport crowns its own champion. Standings decide playoff seeding; the playoffs decide the title — “2027 League A Street Hockey Champion”, for example. Playoff games always produce a winner.

Results are official once verified. A scorekeeper keeps the digital game sheet; an official verifies it. Only verified results count toward standings, stats and records.

Then the League Cup — one overall champion per league, from how each franchise finished in every sport.

Current standings

The League Cup

Each league has its own Cup (League A Cup and League B Cup). Every franchise plays every sport in its league, and each sport counts the same: a franchise's final place in each sport earns Cup points. Most points wins the Cup. Tied places split the points. The Cup is separate from each sport's championship.

Points151210987654321

During the season the Cup table is projected from current standings and marked as provisional until every sport finishes.

Game day, every sport

  • Arrive for warm-up. Every game has a protected warm-up window; the game before yours stops on time so you get it.
  • RSVP. Tell your captain if you're in. Short-handed teams can request emergency substitutes: up to 2 per game and 3 appearances per team, not playoff eligible.
  • Coaches and officials. Coaches are placed at the Coach Draw; if one can't make it, an approved emergency coach can cover that game. Teams can always play without a coach. Every game has an approved referee and scorekeeper.
  • Jerseys and gear. One numbered reversible jersey per player, same number in every sport. Wear the side your game page shows and return it at season end for reuse. Equipment is provided; each sport lists what to bring.
  • Weather and safety. League staff make weather calls and post them as alerts. Officials can stop any game for safety.
  • Respect. The Code of Conduct and Sportsmanship Policy apply to players, coaches and fans.
