Shoot-Out Format
Each coach will pick five (5) players to participate. Each of those five players will shoot on the opposing goalie in penalty shot fashion. The Home team coach will elect whether he wants his team to shoot first or second. Once that is determined, the teams will alternate shooters until five from each team have gone. The team scoring the most goals out of the five shooters is the winner.
If an equal number of the five shooters from each team score, each coach will select a sixth shooter (who was not among the original five). The teams will continue to alternate shooters in the order until one shooter scores and the other does not. Each team will continue selecting shooters who have not shot yet, until all players dressed for that team for that game have shot.
