2021-22 Tie-Breaking Procedure
- When tied teams have played the same total number of games, regardless of an unbalanced schedule, the current AUS tie-breaking process specific to men’s hockey will apply. (Men's Hockey Playing Regulations, Page 2: https://www.atlanticuniversitysport.com/about/member_info/playing_regs/SECTION2-PlayingRegulations-2021_MH.pdf)
- If teams end with a different number of games played and a tie exists and/or when the games lost could have been material to the standings:
- The team with the better Point Percentage (Point Percentage = Points earned / Games Played) will be declared the higher ranked team.
- If still tied,
- Win ratio in head-to-head games.
- Most points in head-to-head games, including all points earned in standings (wins, overtime losses and shootout losses) in head-to-head games being considered.
- Goal ratio in head-to-head games.
Definitions:
- “Point Percentage" is defined as the total number of points earned in the standings divided by games played.
- “Win ratio” is defined as the total number of wins divided by the total number of losses.
- “Goal ratio” is defined as the total number of points scored for, divided by the total number of points allowed against.
*Note: When three or more teams are tied who end with a different number of games played, once one team has been separated from the tied group using the above, return to the first step with the remaining tied team(s).
