Kirkpatrick 144 Posted May 9, 2019 #224 Share Posted May 9, 2019 (edited) Excellent, thank you! Glad it's on youtube, I can have that on most devices in the house.

You´re welcome. It should work like that for all countries all over the world (ofc if any match will be somehow broadcasted by any your TV Channel in Croatia the televised match will be automatically blocked on youtube, but all other non televised matches in Croatia will be available for free on youtube). In Slovakia we will not be able to watch anything from youtube livestreaming, because our national TV will cover live and multiple times replays of all games in TV and on their special web platform https://hokej.rtvs.sk/program/2019-05-10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight at the Directorate Meeting teams have to register a minimum number of 15 skaters and 2 goalies who have to be here while the maximum roster size is 22 skaters and 3 goalies. The remaining players up to the allowed maximum can be added until two hours before a game until the roster is full. During a game a team may enter up to 20 skaters and 2 goaltenders on the official game sheet. Once the teams register players, you will find them in the section TEAMS in the menu on 2019.iihfworlds.com and in the mobile app 2019 IIHF that is available in the Apple Store and Google Play. Keep in mind that teams may not register a full roster tonight and keep some spots open to add players that are practising with the team or that travel to Bratislava later.

hckošice 13,127 Posted May 9, 2019 Author #228 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Tournament Format Preliminary Round The 16 teams are divided into two groups of 8 teams for the Preliminary Round. Group A in Košice (Steel Arena) and Group B in Bratislava (Ondrej Nepela Stadium - Slovnaft Arena) In the preliminary group every team will play once against all opponents of its group, and will try to collect points. For a win in Regulation Time (60 minutes) the team will earn 3 points to the table. The losing team in Regulation Time (60 minutes) will earn 0 points. Remember that every match must have a winner, so if a game will finish by a tie after the 60 minutes of Regulation Time, the match will have to continue in a 5 minutes "sudden death" Overtime (played in the crazy format of 3 skaters vs 3, in the larger IIHF rink sizes it´s really something to watch ), when one of the teams scores in that overtime, the match is immediately finished and the scoring team will be announced as winner of the match, the winning team wil earn 2 points. The losing team after Overtime will earn 1 point. If the match is still tied even after the 5 minutes Overtime, the game will have to be decided in the Penalyt Shoot-Out Session. Five different shooters from each team will take alternate shots, until a decisive goal is scored. If still tied, the PSO will resume with a tie-break shoot out by one player of each team, with a reversed shooting order. The same or new players can take the tie-break shots. The winning team will earn (like after the Overtime) 2 points and the losing team 1 point The top 4 teams from both groups will then qualify for the Quarterfinals (Winner of Group A vs 4th of Group B, 2nd of Group A vs 3rd of Group B, Winner of Group B vs 4th of Group A and 2nd of Group B vs 3rd of Group A) Remember that if teams are tied on points in the table, the main and only used tie-breaker will be the direct head to head confrontation so the winner of the match between the concerned teams will rank higher. In Caseof a points tie between 3 or more teams a special mini-tally between the results of the concerned teams will be created with the following tie-breakers being applied Quote Tie breaking formula The tie-breaking system for two teams with the same number of points in a standing will be the game between the two teams, the winner of the game taking precedence. Due to the fact that the three-point system does not allow a game to end in a tie, then the following tie breaking procedure is applicable when three or more teams are tied in points in a Championship standing. Should three or more teams be tied on points, then a tie breaking formula will be applied as follows, creating a sub-group amongst the tied teams. This process will continue until only two or none of the teams remain tied. In the case of two tied teams remaining, the game between the two would then be the determining tie-breaker as the game could not end as a tie. In the case of none of the teams being tied, the criteria specified in the respective step applies. Step 1: Taking into consideration the games between each of the tied teams, a sub-group is created applying the points awarded in the direct games amongst the tied teams from which the teams are then ranked accordingly. Step 2: Should three or more teams still remain tied in points then the better goal difference in the direct games amongst the tied teams will be decisive. Step 3: Should three or more teams still remain tied in points and goal difference then the highest number of goals scored by these teams in their direct games will be decisive Step 4: Should three or more teams still remain tied in points, goal difference and goals scored then the results between each of the three teams and the closest best-ranked team outside the sub-group will be applied. In this case the tied team with the best result (1. points, 2. goal difference, 3. more goals scored) against the closest best ranked-team will take precedence Step 5: Should the teams still remain tied, then the results between each of the three teams and the next highest best-ranked team outside the sub-group will be applied. Step 6: Should the teams still remain tied after these five steps have been exercised then Sport considerations will be applied and the teams will be ranked by their positions coming into the Championship (seeding). The tournament will be over for teams ranked 5th-8th in their groups after the preliminary round and will be ranked as follows 5th teams of preliminary round groups will be ranked 9th and 10th places according to which of the two teams had 1) more points, 2) overall score, 3) more scored goals, 4) Higher seeding position before the tournaments start based on IIHF World Ranking 6th teams of preliminary round groups will be ranked 11th and 12th places according to which of the two teams had 1) more points, 2) overall score, 3) more scored goals, 4) Higher seeding position before the tournaments start based on IIHF World Ranking 7th teams of preliminary round groups will be ranked 13th and 14th places according to which of the two teams had 1) more points, 2) overall score, 3) more scored goals, 4) Higher seeding position before the tournaments start based on IIHF World Ranking The both last ranked teams of preliminary round groups will be ranked 15th and 16th places according to which of the two teams had 1) more points, 2) overall score, 3) more scored goals, 4) Higher seeding position before the tournaments start based on IIHF World Ranking The last Ranked teams (8th) of both Preliminary Groups will be relegated to the next year´s Men´s Division I Group A World Championship 2020 and will be replaced by Kazakhstan and Belarus, freshly promoted nations from this years Div. I A tournament held last week in Kazakhstan. *Important to note: has the immunity this year. So if (unlikely, but let say hypothetically) Switzerland finished last 8th in theBratislava Group, it will use its immunity and thus can not be relegated. The second relegated nation will be then the 14th ranked nation of this tournament (the worst team of the 7th placed teams of both groups) so in theory, for example may happen that 2 teams from the Košice group will be relegated and none from the Bratislava Group. but again it is highly unlikely to see Switzerland finishing last of its group. *Remember also that in IIHF WCH program the national anthems are not played before the match starts, The National anthem is played only after every match and only the national anthem of the winner of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
