Tie Breaking Procedures:
Breaking ties in regular season games:
If a tie is the case at the end of regulation time, a 3 minute 4 on 4 sudden death overtime period, and if still tied, followed by a shoot-out to decide the outcome – 5 shooters/team. If a tie still remains, then one shooter per team shall be selected until the tie is broken. Shooter may not be re-used until one of the two teams has exhausted their entire game sheet roster (excluding back-up goalie). Play-off games ties will be broken via sudden death 10 minute overtime periods without time-outs and no break between periods (no shoot-out).
Breaking ties in regular season standings:
If two (2) or more teams are tied within a group or division, then the tie is broken in the following order:
1. Most Wins 2. Head to Head 3. +/- on Head to Head 4. Overall +/- 5. Least Penalty Minutes
Note: In the case of more than two tied teams the “Head to Head” would refer to all the games involving only the tied teams. Tie Breakers will always continue to work down the numbered list and never revert back to the top for any reason. In the case of more than two tied teams where teams do not play each other an equal amount of times, Head to Head will not be used and Overall +/- will be the next tie breaker used.
