| Wait, if the pressure is big enough, icecaps might not form, so, why is the icecap requrement?

The icecaps are a requirements because the goal of this challenge is to find a snowball world.

Neither of these have icecaps, so they don't count. But thanks for the finds anyway!

In your second example, I would say, a highly developed civilization, which somehow prevented that the planet freezes over! 
Don't forget to look here.

Ok, the search of a snowball world is a good idea.

Or at least the closest thing to it. It would be cool if we found an oceania with just a tiny strip of ocean in the middle

| This is my entry. It's pretty tame.
Temperature is a mere -48.899 degrees. Although there are ice caps, they are barely visible. (There is one visible in the image, it requires a discerning eye to distinguish it from the surrounding ocean.)
Location: RS 5336-2-8-11597534-60 B3 (Version: 0.9.7.4 RC2)

| After a little more searching, I think I've found your snowball planet.
Temperature is around -49 degrees, and as a bonus it has life.
Here's a Space Engine Location, for easy finding:
Code Place "Snowball Oceania"
{
Ver 974
Body "RS 5336-2-7-1447898-128 B3"
Parent "RS 5336-2-7-1447898-128 B"
Date "2016.04.22 16:19:22.99"
Pos (+0000000000018364ED85A832B9021C35 +000000000007B68B58BB4D071017BD3F +000000000008886973DBC893CE388137)
Rot (-0.6044873549635542 -0.6897573066569525 -0.1647722463041722 -0.3628773931376688)
Vel 7.3282526e-011
Mode 1
}
That, or you could just use the coordinates.

This is a good start for the challenge, but it still only covers half the surface. Certainly a new temperature record. Anyone find an oceania covered with more ice?

This is a tide-bound planet. Such planets are always frozen on one side. The should not count. 
Don't forget to look here.

Not necessarily. I've found my fair share of tidally-locked Oceanias and Terras that lack ice caps.

Naturally there should be tide-bound planets without ice caps, in systems with multiple suns,
But I still have not found a planet where this is the case.
Of course, I mean planets, no moons
Don't forget to look here.

| Awhile back I found an oceania with about 85-90% ice coverage, never saved the location though 
Living among the stars, I find my way. I grow in strength through knowledge of the space I occupy, until I become the ruler of my own interstellar empire of sorts. Though The world was made for the day, I was made for the night, and thus, the universe itself is within my destiny.
