March 14, 2006 - Tie Breaking Sequence The Tie Breaking Sequence used by the CAHL is that of Hockey NB. Here is how it works; 23. If two or more teams are tied at the conclusion of a round robin series, then the following procedure will be used to determine the final ranking before the semi-final and final games are played. In the event that teams are tied for a playoff position, the following procedure will apply: 23.1 If two teams are tied: 23.1.1 The winner of the round robin game between the two tied teams gains the higher position. 23.1.2 The team with the most wins in the round robin gains the higher position. 23.1.3 If the two teams are still tied
after 23.1.1 and 23.1.2 have been applied, then the team with the best goal
average gains the higher position. The goal average of a team is to be
determined in the following manner: Total number of goals for divided by the
total number of goals for and against. NOTE: All round robin games are
included. NOTE: The higher percentage gains the higher position. 23.1.4 If the two teams are still tied after 23.1.1, 23.1.2, and 23.1.3 have been applied, the team with the least number of minutes in penalties throughout all of the round robin games, gains the higher position. 23.1.5 If the two teams are still tied after 23.1.1, 23.1.2, 23.1.3, and 23.1.4 have been applied, then the team which scored the first goal in the game between the tied teams gains the higher position. 23.1.6 If the two teams are still tied after 23.1.1, 23.1.2, 23.1.3, 23.1.4, and 23.1.5 have been applied, a single coin toss will determine which team gains the higher position. If more than two teams are tied at the
conclusion of the round robin, the first criteria is the point record
established in the games among the tied teams only. Then the formula
continues with point 23.1.2 and 23.1.3 above. January 15, 2006 - Annual General Meeting Teams in attendance
