2022 Men's Hockey One
# 2022 Men's Hockey One

The 2022 Men's Sultana Bran Hockey One was the second season of Hockey Australia's national league, Hockey One. The tournament was held across 7 states and territories of Australia. Competition commenced on 29 September, and culminated with a finals weekend running from 19 to 20 November.

Unlike the previous edition where the top ranked women's team hosted the grand final, the grand final of the tournament will be held at a neutral venue in Bendigo.

## Competition format

### Format

The 2022 Hockey One season will follow 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 play each other once in either a home or a way fixture. The top four ranked teams will then qualify for the Classification Round, playing in two semi-finals with the winners contesting a grand final. Team 1 will host Team 4, while Team 2 will host Team 3. Of the two victorious teams, the higher ranked team from the pool stage will host the grand final.

### 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
