TOURNAMENT RULES & REGULATIONS

DISCIPLINE

1. The OSA Published Rules on Discipline at Tournaments will apply with the following exception:
   Discipline authority is delegated for player misconduct only. Any misconduct reports for coaches, other team officials or game officials shall be submitted to PHSA within 3 days of the tournament completion
2. Standard OSA penalties for player misconduct will apply in all Tournaments and Tournament Discipline Rules must comply with the requirements. (NOTE: This is the same as in Ontario Cup Tournament Rounds – See Table 1 attached)
3. Additionally, in exceptional circumstances, Tournament Hosts have the authority to expel a team from the Tournament for behaviour deemed unacceptable to the Tournament Host Committee.

TOURNAMENT DISCIPLINE RULES

• Standard OSA penalties for Player Misconduct will apply
• Tournament Discipline is done by DBR unless a Hearing is requested
• Player suspension will be transferred to league play by PHSA
• Teams may be ejected from the Tournament for behaviour which is deemed   unacceptable to the Tournament Host Committee

DISCPLINE CARRYOVER

1. PHSA will convene a Discipline Hearing for all Special Incident Reports and Dismissal reports for Coaches, other Team Officials and Game Officials. Reports involving individuals from other Districts, Provinces or Countries will be forwarded by PHSA to the appropriate authority, as required.
   
   PHSA will use Discipline by Review on all Dismissal Reports for Players who were unable to serve the full Mandatory Minimum sentence at the Tournament. PHSA will advise the player’s club and regular league of any additional suspension imposed as a result of the Tournament discipline carryover.
   
   
2. In the event (based on reports which it reviews) the PHSA Discipline Review Committee determines that additional misconduct has occurred or that a Serious Foul Play or Violent Conduct misconduct warrants more than the mandatory suspension, it shall advise the Player by way of a Discipline Hearing Notice that additional charges have been laid and a Hearing has been scheduled.
