Commissioner Beketov 8,639 Posted March 25, 2021 Commissioner Share Posted March 25, 2021 Yeah I'm stealing @Quik's naming scheme for this. Just a super small and quick announcement today (mostly of concern for the @VHL GM's and @VHLM GM's) that over the off-season the @BOG took a vote to formalize our tiebreaker rules. Historically they were almost never used so they were never really formalized but with so many teams between the VHLM and VHL it's becoming increasingly common to have two teams with the same amount of points. The decision came down mostly to whether we followed the NHL's regulations or if we followed our own former precedent. So, to make it official (and the portal now reflects this) moving forward the order of importance for standings is: Points > Wins > ROW > Goal Differential. If somehow two teams end up tied on all of that (I would be stunned) then we'll have to figure out some extra layer but for not at least we have that finalized.

DMaximus 1,045 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Would think next 3 tiebreakers would be goals scored then head to head, then coin flip. Although the NHL puts head to head before goal differential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can argue SO is a broken system or whatever but at the end of the day I don't like having losses count for more than wins. Just look at Prague and Helsinki last season. Prague had 3 wins more but were under Helsinki in the standings; that doesn't seem fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
