RINGETTE IN BRITISH COLUMBIA
What a ringette weekend looks like in British Columbia
The BC Ringette Association governs a sport that competes directly with hockey for both ice time and players in British Columbia. Ringette associations tend to be concentrated in a handful of centres, so a BC ringette weekend usually means several small divisions running in parallel rather than one large single-sport draw.
British Columbia's sport calendar is split by geography more than any other province: the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island run dense, short-travel schedules, while Interior and Northern associations routinely drive four to eight hours to a host centre.
BUILT FOR RINGETTE
Ringette, not generic sport
How the draw works
Ringette shares hockey's ice and hockey's tournament shape — pool play into a playoff — but it is a smaller sport, which changes the maths. A ringette weekend often has fewer teams per division and more divisions running at once, so an organiser is juggling several small brackets in parallel rather than one big one.
Where TrakScore fits
That is exactly the case where a single public display board earns its keep: parents watching a U14 game can see the U16 and U19 results from the same screen, and the organiser is not maintaining four separate whiteboards across two ice surfaces.
Divisions
U10 (played under the Step program), U12, U14, U16, U19 and an open adult category, with AA and A tiers at the older ages.
Season
Roughly October through March, with the provincial championship season falling in late winter.
Vocabulary
Venues are rinks, fixtures are games, and standings track GF and GA.
FORMATS
Every format a ringette draw needs
Single elimination
One loss and you are out. The fastest way to settle a small draw.
Double elimination
Every team gets a second life through the losers bracket.
Round robin
Everyone plays everyone; the standings table decides it.
Pool play into playoffs
Groups on the Saturday, knockout on the Sunday.
Best-of series
BO3, BO5 or BO7, set independently per round, with automatic clinching.

FAQ
Ringette tournaments in British Columbia
Can TrakScore run a ringette tournament in British Columbia?
Yes. TrakScore is built for exactly this job: a director running a weekend ringette event with teams from across British Columbia. You set the format, add your teams, generate the schedule and publish a public display board. Nothing about the platform is tied to a particular league or to the BC Ringette Association — you run your own event on your own terms.
Which ringette tournament formats are supported?
All five formats ringette organisers actually use: single elimination, double elimination, round robin, pool play feeding a playoff, and best-of series. Ringette events in British Columbia most often use pool play into a playoff round, and TrakScore advances winners into the bracket automatically as each game goes final.
How do parents in British Columbia follow the scores?
Every tournament gets a public display board at its own URL — no app, no account, no login. Put it on a screen at the rink and share the same link with families. Because visiting teams often travel a full day to reach the host community, BC organisers tend to compress draws into two or three days and lean on formats that guarantee every team a minimum number of games.
Do my scorekeepers need accounts?
No. You can email a one-tap scoring link for any individual game, and the volunteer at the rink opens it and enters the score — no download, no signup. That works on every plan including Free. Standing scorekeeper seats, for someone covering a whole weekend, come with Pro and above.
What does it cost to run a British Columbia ringette tournament?
Free covers one tournament per season with up to 16 teams, which is enough for a small ringette draw. It is one tournament per organization, not per login. Beyond that an Event Pass is a one-time $79 for up to 32 teams, $149 up to 64 or $249 up to 128 — no subscription, and the event stays archived and publicly readable afterwards. If you run several ringette events a year — a division per weekend, say — the annual Season Pass works out cheaper.
Does TrakScore use the right terminology for ringette?
Yes — the product speaks ringette, not generic sport. Venues are labelled “Rink”, fixtures are “Games”, and the standings table tracks GF and GA rather than a one-size-fits-all column. Age divisions in ringette run U10 (played under the Step program), U12, U14, U16, U19 and an open adult category, with AA and A tiers at the older ages, and you can name yours whatever your event and the BC Ringette Association actually call them.
