Rules that keep it moving
- One game per match, except the final: best of three.
- Ties: Brudvig Hockey settles them with sudden-death overtime, so every game has a winner.
- Higher seed hosts: they tap Challenge a friend and send the link, or everyone joins the TV game.
- Teams: players can enter alone or as teams of two or three. A Brudvig Hockey match takes up to six players, three a side.
- Settings: agree on difficulty and speed before the first game, and keep them the same all night.
- Rematches use Restart game in ⚙️; changing teams uses Select sides.

Seeds: if you don't know who's best, draw names from a hat. Seed 1 plays seed 8, 4 plays 5, and so on, so the strongest players meet last.
Round robin (up to 6)
Everyone plays everyone once. Two points for a win. Write the winner's initials in each box. Top two meet in a best-of-three final.
