*** In the spirit of the Jammer (“Remember to always pass the ball to everyone around you, not just to those that will catch it and put it in the net, but to those that might fumble it, for they will catch it in their hearts and remember your for the pass” the maximum GF for any game will be 7 more than the GA All tournament Committee’s decisions are final.

– i.e. if Team A beats Team B 12-1 the tie breaker will use 8 as the GF and 1 for the GA for that game

All tournament Committee’s decisions are final.
