[QUOTE="ChrisB, post: 372691, member: 122"] In Minnesota youth hockey they implemented something called a "Fair Play Point" games. It is a point given to each team if they stay under a certain number of penalty minutes and don't have any game misconducts. They are also taken away if their are incidents in the stands. So each game can be worth 3 points (2 for a win plus the fpp), or even if you lose you can still get 1 fpp point. The first year people didn't pay too much attention to them until the end of the year when some teams missed going to the playoffs even though they had more wins than other teams but lost too many fair play points. My oldest daughter's team was on both sides of the issue this year. For playoffs they got the 6th seed instead of the 5th which put them in a much harder bracket because they had lost too many fpp's. But in one tournament they went to the championship game over another team because they had lost a fpp in the tournament. A lot of people still don't like the concept, but I think it did clean up the game some. One problem though is inconsistent reffing. But when it comes to hockey, I have found that parents of girls are way more competative than parents of boys for some reason. Even though the boys themselves are much more competative than the girls as a whole. [/QUOTE]
