Tiebreaking Rules for Advancement to the
Semi-Finals
Tiebreaking 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 advanced to the semifinal round:
1) teams receive points; 2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, and 0 points for
a loss
2) winner of head to head, during regular tournament play
3) least goals scored against during regular tournament play
4) goals for during regular tournament play
5) first goal scored in head to head during regular tournament play
6) least penalty minutes taken during regular tournament play
7) A rule will be make by the tournament staff
Game Forfeits- Game forfeits do to
a no show will automatically result in a 1 to 0 score. The team causing
the forfeit will automatically be assessed the loss. Games ending
prematurely due to a referee decision, or a team leaving the ice will automatically
end with a loss being assessed to the team causing the forfeit and a win to
their opponent regardless of the score. If the opponent of the forfeiting
team had been winning then the score will remain as is, if the opponent was
losing then the score will revert back to a 1-0 score. Teams causing
forfeits under these circumstances will no not be eligible for semifinal or
championship games.
Tiebreaking Rules for Advancement to the
Semi-Finals (Example)
The tiebreaking rules determine first, second, third, etc..seeding is done on
a 1 by 1 stand alone basis. For example, three teams are tied with four
points. In head to head play team 1 beats team 2, and team 3 beats team 1,
and team 2 beats team 3. Team 1, team 2 and team 3 have goals against of
8,10,9 respectively. Under this scenario, all three teams are tied with 4
points a piece (Rule1), so head to head (Rule 2) is applied. Since each
team beat one another we move to least goals against (Rule 3). Since team
1 had 8 goals against vs. 10, and 9, team 1 would take the 1st seed. For
the 2nd seed we exclude team 1, and reconsider head to head, and least goals
against. Since team 2 beat team 3, team 2 would take the 2nd seed
even though team 3 has less goals against then team 2
