From:
President, NCRRL
Last
season, the NCRRL executive issued a recommendation
to all teams to avoid running up the scores
during league games. The request was by and
large accepted positively, and many teams understood
the negative impact that a huge goal spread
can have on a team. However, not everyone got
the message.
During
last season's re-seeding meeting, all associations
agreed the need to address this problem, and
that the best way to do this would be to penalize
a team for running up the score. To that end,
a new rule was adopted for the remainder of
the regular season.
THAT RULE WAS APPROVED FOR THIS SEASON AT THE
AGM.
The points awarded
for games will be as follows:
One point will
be awarded to each team for a tie, and two points
will be awarded to the winning team for a win.
However, should the goal spread be 9 goals or
greater, only one point will be awarded to the
winning team. The losing team will not be awarded
any points. This rule will be applied to all B
and C levels in all divisions, including Novice
B.
