Standings

Pool Play standings will be kept and can be found on the homepage for the 2014 Summit series. Each team will play each other once and the teams will be seeded by their finish in the standings on the Summit Series page. Each age group will have their own page with standings.

Championship Playoff Round formats are subject to change—Pool standings will be determined by total points. After Pool Play, a tie in points will be resolved by the following criteria:

  • Head-to-Head: The ted teams are ranked in a descending order according to the win-loss result of games played between the tied teams. In a 3-way scenario [where (a) each team has defeated 1 of the other tied with, while losing to the other or (b) where all 3 have tied each other] then the tiebreaker advances.
  • Most Wins: The tied teams are ranked in a descending order according to most wins during all preliminary round games (most wins takes precedence over least wins).
  • Quotient by Scoring: The tied teams are ranked in a descending order according to Goals For (GF) divided by Goals Against (GA) during all preliminary games (greater ‘Q’ takes precedence over lower). Tournament Rules & Protocols (cont’d) o In a divide by zero scenario (where a team has no goals against) that team shall be ranked ahead of teams that allowed 1 or more goals. Goals for and against are determined as a total scored in 3 mini-games.
  • Fewest Goals Against: The teams with the fewest goals allowed in pool play. Each team will be allowed a single 1 minute time-out during Championship and 3rd place games.

After teams are seeded in the standings, the first place team will play the second place team. The third place team will play the second place.
