.1       The following chart details when suspensions are to be served.

 

SUSPENSIONS OCCURING IN ANY GAMES

When the suspension occurs:

When the suspension is served:

If a Suspension per OHF minimum suspension rules occurs during a pre-season exhibition tryout game.

Must be served in next League or

Tournament game.

If a Suspension per OHF minimum suspension rules occurs in any game during regular season.

Must be served in next League, ALLIANCE Play-down, League Playoff or Tournament game.

If a Suspension per OHF minimum suspension rules occurs to a House League Select Player during an exhibition, league or tournament game

Must be served in the next scheduled game, exhibition, house league or tournament.

If a Suspension per OHF minimum suspension rules occurs in any ALLIANCE Play-down game.

Must be served in next ALLIANCE Play-down game.

If ALLIANCE Play-downs have concluded and there are additional games yet to be served, they may be served in next League Playoff or Tournament game.

 

If a suspension per OHF minimum suspension rules occurs in any post- ALLIANCE Play-down game.

Must be served in next League

Playoff or Tournament game.

If a suspension per OHF minimum suspension rules occurs at the end of season when no other League, ALLIANCE Play-down or League Playoff games exist in which to serve the suspension.

Must be served in next

Tournament game.

No tournaments left with registered team may serve as an affiliated player. To be eligible there must be a need on a 19 or 20 man roster. Two affiliated player games as a suspended player equates to one. Therefore a one game suspension at the end of the season would be identified on the next two game sheets of the affiliated team as 1 of

2 and 2 of 2.

• If suspension carries over to following season must be served in first league or tournament games, whichever comes first. Player is eligible for all try-out exhibition games during and after try-out prior to tournament or league play.
