How To Play.
- Overview. Players are assigned a rating value based on 2021-22 final standings and projected 2022-23 performances (the "Player ratings"). Entrants must select one player from each of the six (6) player groups to form a complete active roster. Each player group consists of five (5) pro hockey players or pro hockey teams. Points are awarded following each day that includes a pro hockey game (see Scoring System below).
- Weekly Play. The Contest will separate the 2022-23 NHL schedule into twenty-five (25) weeks ("Contest Weeks"). The weeks will run from pro hockey games starting on Wednesday, October 12, 2022 through the final game played on Tuesday, April 11, 2023. Points scored each week will carry over and will be used to determine your cumulative score. Player selections do not carry over from week to week so every participant will need to log-in to the Website and select new players prior to the beginning of a new Contest Week.
- Scoring. From all eligible entries received, the weekly winners will be determined based on their ability to use their skill and knowledge of pro hockey to accumulate the most points during a Contest Week. In the event a scheduled pro hockey game does not occur as scheduled (e.g., the game is cancelled, postponed, etc.) no points will be awarded. Ties will be broken in accordance with the tiebreaker procedures outlined below.
-
Contest Period. The Contest begins with the first NHL game played on Wednesday, October 12, 2022 and ends after the last scheduled NHL game played on Tuesday, April 11, 2023 (the "Contest Period"). All dates are subject to change.

- Early Games/Flexible Trading. The NHL may schedule games to be played prior to the final trading deadline each week - ex: afternoon games, or games moved earlier because of weather, etc. In these situations, you have the ability to choose a player prior to the designated NHL start/tip-off time. Any players on your roster from those teams playing at the designated start time will be locked on your roster for that H2H period. After the designated start time, you will be unable to pick up or drop players or teams from the game(s) that have started. For the remainder of the period, you will be limited to choose from teams that have not played prior to the designated final trade deadline.
- Thanksgiving Exception. Due to a full slate of pro hockey games scheduled for the Wednesday before Thanksgiving (Wednesday, November 23, 2022), the trade deadline for Period 7 will be moved to 10pm ET/7pm PT on Wednesday, November 23, 2022.
- All-Star Break. Head2Head will take a "bye week" from February 1st-7th, 2023 for the NHL All-Star Break. Play will resume with the first pro hockey game scheduled on or after Wednesday, February 8, 2023 (Period 17).
- Schedule Changes. Scoring is based only on the games actually played each week. If, for any reason, a player's game is postponed (due to weather, etc.) you will only receive points for that game if you have the player on your roster the day the game is officially completed.
- All entries must be submitted, received and recorded by H2H's computer by the scheduled lock time. Selections received after the deadline (e.g. via U.S. Mail) are considered invalid and will be rejected. H2H's computer is the official time-keeping device for this Contest.
- H2H reserves the right to disqualify any entry that does not meet the eligibility requirements described above, arrives late, is incomplete or has been incorrectly completed, or is not completely legible or audible.
