All About Shifts...

At the mini level

1. 5 Shift is the maximum per BNS.
2. There is no circumstance that a player can ever play 6 shifts.
3. Also, no player can have more than 1 shift differential.

• 12 players on the team: 4 players will play 4 of 8 shift and 8 will play 3 of 8 shift.
• 11 players on the team: 7 players will play 4 of 8 shift and 4 will play 3 of 8 shift.
• 10 players on the team: All players will have 4 shift.
• 9 players on the team: 4 players will play 5 of 8 shift and 5 will play 4 of > 8 shift.
• 8 players on the team: All players will have 5 shift

If a player comes out of the game for an injury, following out or any reason during a shift it is counted as a full shift. The player coming in is also charged a full shift. So if you have the minimum 8 players on your team, you will have to play either that shift or one of the remaining shifts with 4 players.
