20 Min 5 v 5 or 10 v 10 Scrimmage
  1. Every player interested in facing off gets a chance to do multiple face-offs.
  2. The teams must be even, so if it is lopsided, switch some players from each team.
  3. Attack and defenders need to be mixed, not just with the same partners.
  4. Feature a lot of rides, clears, and face offs.
