Competition format
Format
The 2022 Hockey One season followed the same format as season one. Teams will play a series of home and away matches during the Pool Stage, which will be followed by a Classification Round.
During the pool stage, teams played each other once in either a home or a way fixture. The top four ranked teams qualified for the classification round, playing in two semi-finals with the winners contesting the final and losers the third place match. Unlike season one, where Team 1 hosted Team 4 and Team 2 hosted Team 3, the finals were held over a single weekend at a central location.
Rules
In addition to FIH sanctioned rules, Hockey Australia is implementing the following rules for Hockey One:
- When a field goal or penalty stroke is scored the same athlete will have an automatic one-on-one shootout with the goalkeeper for an extra goal.
- Outright winner: There will be no drawn games. In the event of a draw, teams will contest a penalty shoot-out to determine a winner.
Point allocation
Match points will be distributed as follows:
- 5 points: win
- 3 points: shoot-out win
- 2 points: shoot-out loss
- 0 points: loss
Participating teams
The seven teams competing in the league come from Australia's states and territories, with the Northern Territory being the only team absent.[3]
