Important Notes:
- While each team only has to referee one game,
they are responsible for providing all
4 referees
for the game. Please make sure that
you will have 4 referees available for your time slot. These referees do NOT need to be
certified by CAN. However, teams are strongly encouraged
to send at least two certified referees to cover their slots. ALL potential referees should review the
2007 CAN rules prior to the tournament (it was a long summer).
- The team with
the best record in each group will be declared the group winner. In the event of a 3-way tie in the
group, the following tiebreakers will be used in order:
- Fewest points
allowed in both games played.
- Largest point
differential (points scored minus points allowed) over both games played.
