BYOT Timetable
Below is a timeline summary of what to expect as you get started with BYOT.
Rolling: Team Registration
- Register your team with no deposit necessary from the captain.
- Within 3 business days of registration (or when your league’s details are finalized) – The captain will be emailed a unique team registration URL to provide their players in order to register for the team’s roster.
- To further secure the team’s spot, there must be at least $400 in deposits within 7 days of when the team’s registration URL is received.
Pre-season: Player Registration and First Games Scheduled
- Players register with a $100 deposit to commit to being a paying player and share equally in their team’s cost. Players can also register as a non-paying alternate with a $20 registration fee.
- Player registrations must be received by noon on the business day prior to your team’s first game to be considered on-time and for the player to be eligible for the team’s first game.
- The first couple of games of the season are posted to the online schedule approximately a week before the first game and the captain is alerted at that time. If any dates/times are pending with the rink those games will be posted as soon as we have scheduling commitments. The last 2 weeks are always held for playoffs.
Season Start: Rosters
- On the day of the team’s first game, the captain receives a team account summary showing who has registered and previewing what the payment split looks like.
- The team’s registered players are loaded to the team’s published roster. This is the sole eligibility list used for each game and may change game to game if a player is not eligible due to a past due payment, suspension, or any other reason. Captains must check this roster before each game to verify that names and numbers match up, and that anyone intending to play is listed as active on the day of the game.
- New players can still be added, or converted from alternate status but all players registering from this time forward incur a $20 registration fee. Skaters must register by noon on the business day prior to the game in which they wish to start to guarantee that they will be rostered. Goalies are the only players who are eligible immediately after submitting their registration online and e-signing their waiver. They do not require further confirmation, the captain simply has to notify the league office of their goalie’s registration.
2 Weeks In: Deadline for Paying Player Registration
This is the deadline for paying players to register, those who registered with a $100 deposit. At this point the team’s payment is split between the amount of paying players. Each paying player is emailed their amount due with URLs choose to pay in full or spread the balance over the course of the season on a payment plan.
4 Weeks In: Individual Final Payments Due
All paying players must pay their individual balance in full or select a payment plan within 2 weeks of when they are notified of their amount due. Anyone not paid by this time is subject to a $20 late fee and is not eligible to play until payment is made.
6 Weeks In: Unpaid Players Removed
Any player who has not paid within this timeframe will be removed from the season and the team must make a single payment to cover his/her amount due.
Rolling: Schedule
We work hard to expedite the posting of your full schedule, working with the many complexities that are involved. The last two to three weeks are always held for playoffs, depending on the size of your division.
End of Season
- Within the last two months of the season, each team is given the opportunity to renew for the next season with the guarantee of their spot if registered within a week of being offered.
- In order to participate in playoffs, teams cannot have a past-due balance.
- In order for individual players to participate in the playoffs they cannot have a past-due balance and must have played in at least 50% of the regular season games.
- After the season, team balances are carried forward to the next season. Positive balances can be refunded instead if requested by the captain.
Mini-BYOT Format
The format for mini-BYOT is a little different than regular BYOT. As a 3v3 on a smaller sheet of ice, there are no faceoffs, and the official is off-ice. Some other major differences are that penalties are taken as penalty shots. Many of the other differences are similar to street hockey, where there is no offside, no icing, and the team in that end takes out the puck after a goal/save.
With mini-BYOT, get ready for an amazing workout that’s fast-paced, with quick starts and stops in tight quarters, that’ll improve your reaction time and make you a better player.
Mini-BYOT Level Guidance
The levels available for mini-BYOT are slightly broader than the levels for our regular BYOT. Please review the overlapping levels that are defined below. If you have any questions regarding leveling we invite you to call the league office to discuss leveling. All players must individually qualify for their team’s chosen level. We work closely with captains to ensure that the teams are being formed in an equitable way that will ensure balance, which is a vital part of the StinkySocks Hockey experience.
Mixed Lower Level (Levels 2-4)
The Mixed Lower Level is a mix of mid-level novice players through lower intermediate. In summary, it’s a fit for those who picked the game up again or began as an adult, as well as older players.
Novice (levels 2-3) – Generally those who are within their first 3 years of hockey experience, based on someone in their 30’s. It may also be appropriate for older players who started playing as an adult regardless of years of experience.
Lower Intermediate (Levels 3-4) – Generally those who began their hockey experience as an adult and excludes anyone who has had high school experience.
Mixed Mid Level (Levels 3-6)
The Mixed Mid Level is a mix of lower intermediate players through intermediate. In summary, it’s a fit for those who picked up the game again or began as adults and have 5+ years of experience and those who played in high school.
Lower Intermediate (Levels 3-4) – Generally those who began their hockey experience as an adult.
Intermediate (Levels 4-6) – Generally those who have had high school level experience. It excludes anyone who has had any organized college experience (club or other).
Mixed Upper Level (Levels 5-9)
The Mixed Upper Level is a mix of mid-level intermediate through advanced players. In summary, it’s a fit for young players with solid high school experience through those who played at NCAA D2/D3 levels.
Intermediate (Levels 4-6) – Generally those who have had high school level experience. A level 5 player is usually someone in their 30’s who played in high school.
Upper Intermediate (Levels 6-7) – Generally young players with high school experience and any player with college club experience, or the equivalent.
Advanced (Levels 7-9) – Generally those who have had NCAA divisional experience, younger players with college club experience, or the equivalent. It excludes anyone under the age of 30 who has had D1 experience.
