Hockey Hold'em FAQs

Do you have a question of what to expect at Hockey Hold'em? Below you will find some of the most commonly asked questions about the show.

- Can you adjust my game time or put me on another team?

No, everything is auto-generated by the Hockey Hold'em software. Teams are built to be matched up according to player skills, genders and age. Asking to play with friends, family or adjust game times for another event on your schedule is not possible. You must be prepared to play at your scheduled game times. This will keep teams fair and/or prevent someone from having the same goaltender twice in round-robin play. There was a time when we were able to make this accommodation, but the tournament has grown in size and it makes it more difficult to manage now.

- Do goalies have to pay too?

Yes, everyone has to pay for Hockey Hold'em. Everyone has a chance to make it Championship Sunday and win prizes.

- Can I miss a game and still make the finals?

Yes, please give us notice so we can try to find a compatible substitute to play in your spot. The sub will not be allowed to bet for you or for themselves. You understand the risk, if you don't play, you can't bet. You must play at least two (2) games to qualify for Championship Sunday. Hockey Hold'em Rule: Dead Money

- Can I find my own sub/replacement?

Yes/No, if they are the same skill level as you then you should suggest them to us. We will make the final decision on who will be participating in your vacancy. We want to keep the teams at Hockey Hold'em as fair/competitive as possible. Substitute players are not allowed to play on Championship Sunday.

- Do I have to place a bet?

No, you may choose to bet "zero" chips on a game you are uncertain about.

- When will I know when I play next?

All schedules are "hidden" from the public until the final game of the set is complete. Schedules will be available at the registration desk and online. Here are estimated schedule release times.

Yes. We will have a Women's ONLY locker room available. It is strongly suggested that you meet with your team prior to the game to help with your betting and Lady Luck Player of the Game selection.

- How do I place my bet at Hockey Hold'em?

Everyone starts the tournament with 1,000 chips. It is your responsibility to know how many chips you have at all times. There will be Hockey Hold'em betting slips in the locker rooms and on your bench. Fill out the Hockey Hold'em betting slip completely and submit it in the Hockey Hold'em betting box at your bench prior to the puck drop. Everyone is ALL IN in Championship Sunday.

You win, you double up, plus any bonuses. You lose, we all know what happens. Good luck.
