-This year we will have an overlap to the "end of regular season" and the "round robin". We can adjust the end of season by a few weeks and it will not affect who wins the regular season and gets the bonus point for the round robin. 

-March 1 (week 25) ends the regular season (adjusted if necessary)

Thoughts on this: (and for reference lets say that The Cellar has the bye on a cancelled week)

Option 1 - give each scheduled team 1 point and the bye team nothing.

-pros - easy and low perctage that it effects the 1 point bonus outcome. 

-cons - takes away the opportunity for the teams scheduled to lose and instead awards them a point. This could potentially take the bonus point away from The Cellar through no fault of their own because another team got gifted a point in the standings.

Option 2 - the next time The Cellar has a bye; the teams playing play 2 22 minute games back to back.

Pros - This would give every team the same oportunity to win or lose the same amount of games overall and all teams physically play an equal amount of games. Most fair for bonus point.

Cons - This will not work once the round robin starts in which case we default to the one point method

- Feb 15 (week 23) starts the round robin for 5 weeks through March 15 with the regular season champs getting 1 point bonus towards the round robin.

-March 22 (week 28) playoff start between the top 4 round robin teams. 8:30 1 vs. 4    and    9:30 2 vs. 3

-March 29 (week 29) are last sheets of ice for the FMNHL. We will have a consolation game at 8:30 followed by the league championship at 9:30.

Q- Is there a way to have the last place team play here? That way 2 teams play one less week instead of 1 team playing two less weeks? So maybe the bottom seed in the consolation game sits out (because who cares about 3rd palce) and the last place team plays a final game.
