Tiebreaker Rules for Advancement to the Semi-Finals
Tiebreaker rules apply since semi-final placement cannot always be determined by wins and losses alone. The following criteria is used to determine which teams will advance to the semifinal round:
1. Most Points (2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, 0 points for a loss)
2. Winner of head-to-head game (only if two teams are tied)
3. Goal Differential (Goals For – (Goals For + Goals Against)
4. Fewest Goals Against
5. Fewest Penalty Minutes in all Games Played.
6. The team that scored the earliest goal in their round robin game involving the tied teams
7. Coin flip (team from farthest away will call the flip, winner of flip gets higher position
2.1 - Two Teams Tied
I. Head-to-head winner - The winner of the round robin game between the two tied teams will gain the higher seeding position.
II. The team with the most wins in the round robin gains the higher position.
III. If the two teams are still tied after the first two options are considered, then the team with the best goal average gains the higher position. The goal average of a team is to be determined in the following manner:
Goal Average = Total number of goals for, divided by the total number of goals for and against.
Example: 10 GOALS FOR, 4 GOALS AGAINST
Goal Average Calculation: 10/10+4 = .714
NOTE: The higher percentage gains the higher position. All round robin games to be included.
IV. If the two teams are still tied after the first, second and third options (i, ii & iii), the team with the least number of penalty minutes throughout all round robin games, gains the higher position.
V. If the two teams are still tied after the first, second, third and fourth options (i, ii, iii, iv) then the team with the fewest goals against throughout all round robin games, gains the higher position.
VI. If the two teams are still tied after the first, second, third, fourth and fifth options (i, ii, iii, iv & v) then the team with the most goals for throughout all-round robin games, gains the higher position.
VII. If the two teams are still tied after the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth options (i, ii,
iii, iv, v,vi) then the team which scored the first goal in the game between the tied teams gains the higher position.
VIII. If the two teams are still tied after the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh options (i, ii, iii, iv, v, vi, vii), a single coin toss will determine which team gains the higher position.
2.2 - Three or More Teams Tied
NOTE: The three-team tiebreaker is used to determine the seeding of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th seed. If any step in the tiebreaker only seeds one team, that team assumes that position. The three-team tiebreaker will continue to determine the seeding of the two remaining teams. At no time will teams using this formula go back to the two-team tiebreaker.
I. If three teams or more are tied, the point record established in the games among the tied teams only will be used as the first tie breaking formula in deciding which team(s) shall advance.
II. The team with the most wins (among tied teams) would gain the highest position.
III. If teams are still tied after the first and second options (i & ii) then the team with the best goal average gains the highest position (all round robin games). The goal average of a team is to be determined in the following manner:
Goal Average = Total number of goals for, divided by the total number of goals for and against.
Example: 10 GOALS FOR, 4 GOALS AGAINST
Goal Average Calculation: 10/10+4 = .714
NOTE: The higher percentage gains the higher position. All round robin games to be included.
The above exercise of 2.2 III. establishes the team or teams with the highest position(s) by percentage. These teams will advance. If there are still teams tied, they go to the next step. They do not go back to the “Two Team Tiebreaker”.
SCENARIO 1:
Team 1 - .714 = 1 seed – Advances **
Team 2 - .500 = 3 seed – Does Not Advance
Team 3 - .650 = 2 seed – Advances **
SCENARIO 2:
Team 1 - .714 = 1 seed – Advances **
Team 2 - .500 = Still tied with team 3 – go to next scenario
Team 3- .500 = Still tied with team 2 – go to next scenario
SCENARIO 3:
Team 1 –. 650 = Still tied with team 2 – go to next scenario
Team 2 - .650 = Still tied with team 1 – go to next scenario
Team 3 - .500 = Does not advance
IV. If the teams are still tied after the first, second and third options (i, ii & iii), the team with the least number of penalty minutes throughout all round robin games, gains the higher position.
V. If the teams are still tied after the first, second, third and fourth options (i, ii, iii, iv) then the team with the fewest goals against throughout all round robin games, gains the higher position.
VI. If the teams are still tied after the first, second, third, fourth and fifth options (i, ii, iii, iv & v) then the team with the most goals for throughout all-round robin games, gains the higher position.
VII. If the teams are still tied after the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth options (i, ii, iii, iv, v, vi, vii), a single coin toss will determine which team gains the higher position.
OVERTIME RULES
1.No overtime in round robin games.
2.Semi-final and Championship game tiebreakers are decided by overtime periods structured as follows: One 5 minute period 4 on 4. If still tied after 5 minutes, there will be a 4-minute period 3 on 3. In the event the game remains tied after both periods, a best of three alternating shootout will occur, with the home team shooting second. The coach must indicate on the game sheet the starting three shooters prior to the game. If still tied a sudden victory shootout will commence with the rest of the team’s players. No player may shoot twice until all players on the team (except goaltenders) have had a turn.
Penalties given during the overtime periods are one minute in duration. The team receiving a penalty will lose one man during the four on four. For three on three the opposing team will gain one man when a penalty occurs.
