If still tied after 3 shooters, coaches will pick a different player each round and continue the shoot-out until both teams have had equal shooters and one team is ahead.
10. TIEBREAKERS IN ROUND ROBIN STANDINGS
Two teams tied
1. The winner of the round robin game between the two tied teams gains the higher position.
2. The team with the most wins in the round robin gains the higher position.
3. If the two teams are still tied after 1 and 2 have been applied, the team with the best goal average gains the higher position.
3.1 Total number of goals for divided by the total number of goals for plus goals against. (All round robin games will be included):
3.1.1 Example A
3.1.1.1 Team A has 10 goals for and 4 goals against. (14 goals total with 10 goals for = 0.714)
3.1.1.2 Team B has 12 goals for and 6 goals against. (18 goals total with 12 goals for = 0.667)
3.1.1.3 Team A wins the tiebreaker
4. If teams are still tied after 1, 2, and 3 the team with the fewest goals against (All round robin games played) will gain the highest position.
5. If teams are still tied after 1, 2, 3, and 4 the team with the most goals for (All round robin games played) will gain the highest position.
6. If the two teams are still tied after 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 the team to qualify will be the team with the lowest penalty minutes (All round robin games played)
7. If teams are still tied after 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 have been applied, a coin toss shall determine the winner.
Three or more teams tied
Note: The three-team tiebreaker is used to determine the seeding of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd 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.
1. 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.
2. The team with the most wins (among tied teams) would gain the highest position.
3. If teams are still tied after 2 has been applied, the team with the best goal average gains the highest position.
