Lakeshore Play-In RR Rules and Protests
i)
Round Robin Preliminaries series.
i) Round robin games may be used in preliminary
or opening round series for seeding or advancing one (1) or more teams to the
next round.
ii) Any round robin series shall be decided on a
point system, two (2) points for the win, one (1) point for a tie. A one (1) 10-minute OT is allowed in RR
play.
iii) If at the conclusion of a round robin series
there is not a defined winner an additional game will be played to determine
the winner. The game shall be hosted by the center with:
(a) the winner of the round robin game between
the two (2) tied teams has Home Ice.
(b) the team
with the most wins in Round Robin gains Home Ice.
(c) if any teams
are still tied after (a) and (b) have been applied, then the team with the best
goal average gains the Home Ice. 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: Only the tied teams’ head to head
scores will be used and if tied then all round robin games scores will be used. Example For = 10, Against = 4: Percentage 10 / (10+4) = .714 Note: The higher percentage (1.0 being the
highest attainable) gains Home Ice.
(d) if three (3)
teams or more are tied, the teams tied will use (c) to determine the two (2)
teams playing in a tie breaker game, the team with the best goal average will
determine Home Ice and the team with the second highest goal average will be
