FINAL STANDINGS TIEBREAKER
a) To determine the final regular season standings when teams have equal points, the following system shall determine placement. The team awarded the higher placing when tied with another team shall be the team with:

• Regulation plus Overtime Wins, also known as ROW.
• Best record versus the team tied with; if record is equal,
• Goal average as in hereafter described: the formula is GF and GA divided into the GF with the answer expressed as a percentage; the team with the higher percentage will be the higher standing team.

• The Commissioner’s decision in any dispute is final; and
• There shall be a split gate following normal expenses for ice time and officials.
