Norcal - wow, take a shot at the staff! It's actually the result of poor planning by Scaha and the fact that they fine you if you missing a game.
CAHA rule 9.17: There shall be a minimum of four (4) hours scheduled between games played on the same day, and twelve (12) hours scheduled on games played on consecutive days. Time is counted from the end of one game to the start (puck drop) of the next.
SCAHA rule 34.09(i) repeats that language.
NORCAL rule 5.9.E: If two games are scheduled for the same day, there must be at least four hours separation and there must not
be more than one hour normal driving time between the rinks at which the games are scheduled.
Here are rules that actually makes sense, so, yes, it would be nice for "the staff" to get the scheduling right.
