| | The Alberta Stiga Table Hockey Championships IV will take place at New Cap Radio Stage in West Edmonton Mall on Saturday, January 31, 2009.
We will begin at 9:30 am. Two round robins will be played for a total of around 30 pre-playoff games. Playoffs all best-of-sevens in all Pools. This a Player's Choice tournament. As in ETHL tournaments in the past, schedules are set up so that there are minimum figure changes between games (one overall change per round robin) and scores are kept by each player on his scoresheet, so you'll get the maximum amount of games in a minimum of time!
Tentative schedule:
9:30 - 12:30 First round robin
12:30 - 1:15 Lunch break
1:15 - 2:30 Second round robin
2:30 - 3:15 Break
3:15 - 7:00 Playoffs and award ceremony
Entry fee is $15 and participation is open to anyone - Albertan or not. There will be 3 (or 4) pools, with trophies for the top 3 finishers of each division. Last year, we had 23 participants.
This is a player's choice tournament. NHL players may use Inter goalies. All player figures (NHL and Inter) will be supplied, but you may bring your own teams, if you wish, to use only in the Playoffs. The ETHL timer and face-off rule will be used. All games are cleaned with diluted Original Windex, have Suplaks, Lyle Knittig net deflectors, pledged rods, oiled slots and 'Tack it Over' on the rod pegs. This tournament is not part of the CTHA/USTHA North American Stiga Tour.
If you are coming from out of town, you may be interested in attending the two Oiler games that weekend - against Minnesota on Friday, 30 at 7 pm and against Nashville on Sunday, Feb. 1 at 12 pm.
