declared Division Finalist and advance to the playoffs, shall be determined as follows:
a) Most points in Round Robin play;
b) In case of a tie between two teams, the team having won the game between each other will advance;
c) If still tied, the team with the best +\- (goals for – goals against) during Full Round Robin play will advance;
d) If still tied, the team with the fewest goals against during Full Round Robin play will advance;
e) If still tied, the team with the most goals during Full Round Robin play will advance;
f) If still tied, the team with the fewest penalty minutes during Full Round Robin play will advance;
g) If still tied, then a single flip of a coin by the Tournament Director will determine the team to advance.
Note: In the event of a 3, 4 or 5 way tie in step ‘a’ above, head-to-head points among the tied teams shall determine the top team to advance. If no team advances, apply steps ‘c’ through ‘g’ until one team advances. Continue this head-to-head points process with any remaining teams until all finalists are selected.
