Should a tie occur between two or more teams, standings shall be decided according to the following priorities:

  1. Most wins during the regular season.
  2. In games between tied teams the team with the most points from regular season head to head games shall be the tie-breaker.
  3. Regulation wins take precedence over OT wins.
  4. In games between the tied teams in a regular season series, the team
    with more wins gets the higher placing, as regulation wins take
    precedence over OT wins in deciding placements.
  5. Goals for minus goals against for each of the tied teams. The team with
    best differential earns the higher placing.
  6. Consideration of games played versus the highest placed team not in the tie, followed by the next highest placed team, etc. Regulation wins
    take precedence over OT wins.
  7. Consideration of goals scored and allowed versus the highest placed team not in the tie, followed by next highest placed team, etc.

Note: Where a multiple tie occurs and is only partially resolved by the application of the tie breaking rules, the remaining ties shall be decided by returning to priority number 1 and working through the order again.

The 1st and 2nd place teams earn byes in the first round (quarter-finals).  The winners from the quarter-finals will move on to play against the 1st and 2nd place team.  The lowest seed will play against #1 ranked while the second lowest seed will meet the #2 ranked team.  All series are best of 3 games. If the competing teams are within 400 km, it will be a home & home series with the highest seed hosting games 1 & 3.  If the competing teams are more than 400 km, the highest seed will host all games in the best of 3 series.
