| TIE BREAKING SYSTEM FOR IIHF CHAMPIONSHIPS |
The tie-breaking system for two teams with the same number of points in a
standing will be the game between the two teams, the winner of the game
taking precedence.
Due to the fact that the three-point system does not allow a game to end in
a tie, then the following tie breaking procedure is applicable when three or
more teams are tied in points in a Championship standing.
Should three or more teams be tied, then a tie breaking formula will be
applied as follows,creating a sub-group amongst the tied teams:
Step 1:
Taking into consideration the games between each of the tied teams, a
sub-group is created applying the goal difference in the direct games
amongst the tied teams.
Step 2:
Should the teams still remain tied then the highest number of goals scored
by these teams in their direct games will be decisive.
Step 3:
Should three or more teams still remain tied then the results between each
of the three teams and the closest best-ranked team outside the sub-group
will be applied. In this case the tied team with the best result (1. points,
2. goal difference, 3. more goals scored) against the closest best
ranked-team will take precedence.
Step 4:
Should the teams still remain tied, then the results between each of the three
teams and the next highest best-ranked team outside the sub-group will be applied.
This process will continue until only two teams remain tied. The game between
the two remaining tied teams would then be the determining tie-breaker as the
game between these two teams could not end as a tie.
Step 5:
Should the teams still remain tied after these four steps have been
exercised then Sport considerations will be applied and the teams will
beranked by their positions coming into the Championship.
