Following further review of the Divisional XBall formats, the following updates have been made.
Division 1 XBall
Division 1 matches will consist of a race to 7 points run on a 15 minute clock. Teams will switch sides after every fourth game point scored. Rosters will be capped at a total of 17 people with a maximum of 12 players allowed. A limit of 2 professional players will be permitted on the roster.
Division 2 XBall
Division 2 matches will consist of a race to 7 points run on a 15 minute clock. Teams will switch sides after every fourth game point scored. Rosters will be capped at 17 people with a maximum of 12 players allowed. A limit of 2 D1 players will be permitted on the roster. No professional players will be allowed.
Division 3 XBall
Division 3 matches will consist of a race to 5 points run on a 15 minute clock. Teams will switch sides after every third game point scored. Rosters will be capped at 17 people with a maximum of 12 players allowed. A limit of 2 D2 players will be permitted on the roster. No D1 or professional players will be allowed.
Overtime Play changes for Divisional XBall
The following overtime format will be used for all Divisional XBall; this includes Divisions 1, 2, and 3. This does not affect 5-man XBall.
For 2008, the sudden death overtime period has been increased to 5 minutes instead of 3 minutes, as in 2007. The 90 Second rule will still be in effect during this 5 minute sudden death, meaning that a MAJOR penalty received by a player in the last 90 seconds of this overtime period, will cause immediate stoppage of play and the winning point to be awarded to the opposing team.
If the 5 minutes of sudden death play passes without a winner, the teams will then proceed to the 60 second 1-on-1 matchups that have been used in the past in Divisions 2 and 3.
As in the past, a win will still equal 2 points, a loss will be 0 points, and a loss in overtime will equal 1 point.
