For the Playoffs, Standings as
of Games reported by the evening of 9 Mar 2008, will be used.
The absolute drop dead date to play a game that will count is
9 March. All games must be reported as soon as possible or they
will not count towards Playoff Match-ups..
Point Structure
1. Teams receive two (2) points for a win. However, should the
goal spread be 9 goals or greater, only one point will be awarded
to the winning team. The losing team will not be awarded any
points. This rule will be applied to all B and C levels in all
divisions, including Novice B. One (1) point shall be awarded
to each team remaining tied at the end of the game. Zero (0)
points will be awarded for a loss.
2. The team with the most points in each division will be declared
the top team in that division.
3. The second place team is the team having the second highest
number of points, etc.
4. In a forfeited game the score will be 7-0. The team forfeiting
shall receive 0 points and the other team receives 2 points.
In a cancelled game (due to bad weather, etc.) the score is
recorded as 0-0 with both teams receiving 1 point.
When a team is disqualified and all other teams were scheduled
to play that disqualified team then all games against that team
will be eliminated. When not all teams play the disqualified
team, the teams scheduled to play the disqualified team will
be awarded 2 points and a score of 0-0 is recorded.
Ranking of Tied Teams
When two or more teams have an equal number of points after
completion of the round robin games, the League Statistician
is responsible to determine the rankings. The following ranking
procedures will be used to resolve all ties in standings.
NOTES:
i. The maximum
permissible 'goals for' per game is seven (7) more than the
'goals against'.
ii. If a team(s) has forfeited a game, that team(s) will be
ranked the lowest position(s) amongst the tied teams.
iii. These procedures will declare team(s) in individual rankings.
In some cases, there will still be a tie within the rankings.
(I.e. in a four-way tie for first in a round robin, the procedures
could place one team clearly first with two teams tied for second/third
and one team fourth). In these cases, the following procedures
will be used to resolve the ranking of the remaining tied teams.
The ranking of the tied
teams will be determined in the following order:
1. If one of the tied teams has beaten all other tied teams
in all games, rank that team highest.
2. If still tied and all tied teams have not played each other
an equal amount of games other go directly to Step 7 below.
3. If still tied, rank the teams in order of wins between the
tied teams.
4. If still tied, rank teams in order of the plus/minus ('goals
for' minus 'goals against') in games between the tied teams.
5. If still tied, rank teams using the following formula in
games between the tied teams.
Goals For +
Goals Against
Goals Against
|
6. If still tied, rank teams
in order of the most 'goals for' in games between the tied
teams.
7. If still tied rank the teams in order of wins between all
teams.
8. If still tied, rank teams in order of the plus/minus ('goals
for' minus 'goals against') in games between all teams.
9. If still tied, rank
teams using the following formula in games between all
teams:
Goals For + Goals
Against
Goals Against
|
10. If still tied, rank
teams in order of the most 'goals for' in games between all
teams
11. If still tied, rank teams using least
penalty minutes in games between the tied teams.
12. If
still tied, rank teams using least penalty minutes in games
between all teams.
13. At this point, if still tied, the NCRRL will decide on how
to break the tie:
