Floorball

The light and fast-paced sport is back for its second year at the CCV 2012 Summer Games. Relatively new to North America, interest in floorball has taken off with the support of the BC Floorball Federation. Last summer, teams were quick to pick up this hybrid of ball and floor hockey in a 5-on-5 format. However, it was Electronic Arts who effortlessly swept the competition aside to a solid victory. Come check out one of the latest and greatest sports to come to Canada! 

1. Games are played five-on-five.

2. Each game will consist of two 20-minute halves and a 5-minute halftime break. Each team is allowed one 20-second timeout per game.

3. The tournament is set up for round robin pool play with tiered playoffs.

4. Teams are seeded after round robin based on a point system: a win = 3 points, a tie = 1 point, a loss = 0 points. The top teams in each pool based on points will advance to Tier 1. Bottom teams will advance to Tier 2.
