D2 King's Court Tournament 1-1 to 5-5
Key Points:
I used this tournament rotation a lot teaching sports like volleyball, badminton, basketball. Use nets, small nets, pylons or blue and red lines on the boards as nets.
After about 4 rotations you end up with the best players at one end playing each other so it is a good way to select teams as well.
You can play from 1-1 to 5-5 depending on how many games are going on at once. Have jokers that must be passed to for regroups or one timers or pass to a joker to rest.
Description:

2. Play cross ice games of 1-1 to 5-5 and keep score.

c. Losers go to the other side, if tied stay on the same side.
d. Now rotate clockwise but the team at the King's Court stay where they are.
