Preliminary Round Tie Breaker Rules
In the case of a tie after the preliminary round, team rank will be determined by the following tie-breaking formulas. In order to break the tie, the following formulas will be followed until one rule determines the position of all teams that are tied.
1. The results of the games played between the teams (Head to Head) tied in the following order:
a. The points acquired in these games.
b. Most wins
c. Goal Differential
d. Dividing the goals scored in these games by the goals scored against (GF divided by GA), the position being determined in order of the greatest quotient. A quotient involving dividing zero where two or more teams have no goals against and the quotient tie breaker is required, the teams shall be ranked high to low in descending order of "goals for".
Note: Forfeits - If a team forfeits any of its games, and their games become involved in any tie-breaking formula to determine who will advance to the next level of play, the team forfeits all games in the round robin play and the games are recorded as 1-0 victories for the non-offending team.
2. If after applying the formulas of 1 a, b, c and d, the tie still exists, 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d shall be applied using all games played by the teams tied. The formulas shall be applied in the order 1 a, b, c, d and 2.
3. If the above procedure does not break the tie, then their position will be determined by the number of penalty minutes assessed in all games they played. Their position being determined in order of the least penalty minutes.
4. If teams remain tied after 1, 2, and 3 above a coin flip will determine the order of the teams.
