A) Tie Breaker Criteria:
In the event of a tiebreaker, the order of consideration will be as follows:
- Total Wins
- Head-to-Head Record
- Goals For Total
B) Playoff Series Scheduling:
Teams are first required to schedule each member of their team two games by game 4. Player availability may prevent this, in this event the second requirement is that a team must have at least the roster minimum number of players be given two games by game 4. If this too is not possible, the third requirement is that teams are then expected to use TC/ECU/FA to fill the games for players who are not able to attend both their games. This requirement is only in respect to the roster minimum. Players are not owed replacement games to games missed that were scheduled and filled by another player. Players are still required 1 game in the remaining series games if their availability was preventing participation in the first requirement.
C) Consequences for Insufficient Player Usage:
Failure to play the roster minimum by game 4 will result in a forfeit for game 4. This roster requirement is waived after the forfeiture of game 4. However the “all players are given a game each series” is still applied and punishable by forfeit if players are not scheduled by the earliest possible match based on posted avails. If both teams fail to meet this requirement by game 4, the requirement will be waived. The requirement to schedule all players 1 game who have not yet played, is still enforced.
D) Player Replacement after Game Reset:
Players who are unable to return after a game reset can be replaced by a roster, TC, or ECU player.
G) Game Restarts and Drops:
Either team may restart the game after each period if players drop, maintaining fair gameplay conditions.
H) Game 7 Scheduling:
Game 7s are scheduled on a specific night, but this match may be played immediately after the conclusion of game 6. All roster requirements must still be respected if game moving is considered.
