For other programs, this might not be as big of an issue. We are asking the programs to be active participants in placing their teams in the best possible situations by helping UCT to accurately forecast the level at which teams should be placed. To achieve this, UCT has borrowed the process created by JSBIA and SHI which provides programs with guidance as to how to best register their teams.WHAT IS THIS? The attached document, entitled “Levels of Play Guide,” is designed to help coaches register their teams in the most appropriate level and to provide UCT with guidance on placing teams at the proper levels. WHY IS THIS NECESSARY? When it comes to creating a schedule for our tournament one of our primary goals is to provide the most parity across all participating teams, thus fostering an environment in which our players will experience the most fun and display the most sportsmanship. HOW DOES THIS WORK? As part of this exercise, we are asking team coaches to use the below bullets as a guide to help them classify each of their players individually. Coaches can then decipher how many players they have from each level and can have a better sense of where to place their teams. A decision on what division any team will compete in will be dependent, in part, upon these numbers on the attached sheet (once completed by team coaches). Also factoring into the decision is context from coaches on where they believe their teams should be placed (see attached Guide and Registration Form). WE HAVE A “MIXED” TEAM OF PLAYERS FROM ALL LEVELS, WHAT SHOULD WE DO?As you go through the exercise and determine your numbers, it will become clear if you have more players at a particular level. Ideally, teams should have a MINIMUM OF 50% of players from a particular level for a team to be classified as such. However, special circumstances do occur. This is why we are asking coaches for more contexts in the attached form.WE DON’T HAVE ENOUGH PLAYERS TO FIELD A FULL TEAM. CAN WE COMBINE WITH ANOTHER TEAM? Yes. In the interest of allowing all players who are willing and able to participate in the tournament, we encourage teams without enough players to field teams of their own to combine with another team. Of course, we all realize this is not an opportunity to assemble an All-Star Team rather, it’s a nice way to offer players from any SH program globally a chance to play AND a worry-free approach to welcoming new and growing programs to our festival.WHAT ARE THE STEPS OUR COACH USES TO REGISTER OUR TEAM(S) BY LEVEL?Utilize this attached Guide to help you classify your players individuallyUtilize the Registration Form to provide the number of players you have at each levelOn the Form, provide context as to what level your team might be best suited to competeList on the Form teams you have played this year and who your team has matched up well againstList on the Form a contact # where you can be reached with any questionsAll of the above information will be carefully taken into account when creating the fairest schedule possible. Please keep in mind that no system or process is perfect. However, we believe that this is a step in the right direction to creating equality for the UCT Winter Hockey Festival.
