Should a tie occur between two or more teams, standings shall be decided according to the following priorities:

  1. Most wins during the regular season.
  2. In games between tied teams, the team with the most points from regular season head-to-head games shall be the tie-breaker.
  3. Regulation wins take precedence over OT wins.
  4. In games between the tied teams in a regular season series, the team with more wins get a higher placing, as regulation wins take
    precedence over OT wins in deciding placements.
  5. Goals for minus goals against for each of the tied teams. The team with the best differential earns the higher placing.
  6. Consideration of games played versus the highest placed team not in the tie, followed by the next highest placed team, etc. Regulation wins
    take precedence over OT wins.
  7. Consideration of goals scored and allowed versus the highest placed team not in the tie, followed by the next highest placed team, etc.

Note: Where a multiple tie occurs and is only partially resolved by the application of the tie-breaking rules, the remaining ties shall be decided by returning to priority number 1 and working through the order again.

If the competing teams are within 300 km, it will be a home-and-home series with the highest seed hosting games 1 & 3.
