POOL PLAY STANDINGS
Team points will be awarded in each game in pool play in the following manner:
3 Points – Victory in regulation time, in an OT period or by advancing after PK’s
0 Points – Loss
After pool play, the team in each pool with the most points will advance to the Semifinals.
POOL PLAY STANDINGS - TEAM TIEBREAKING PROCEDURES
If after pool play, teams are tied for the most points in any pool, the following will apply, in order:
3 TEAM TIES
1. Goal differential in all pool play games in regulation and OT periods.
2. Goals scored in all pool play games in regulation and OT periods.
3. Goals against in all pool play games in regulation and OT periods.
**If at any point in applying the above criteria:
A single team gains an advantage over the other two teams, it advances.
A single team is eliminated, and two teams remain tied, then immediately revert to head-to-head competition in
pool play between the two tied teams. The team that earned three points in pool play advances
UNBREAKABLE TIES (3 team)
If all three teams remain tied after the above criteria are applied, two “tiebreaking games” will be held on day four of the
tournament. Immediately after conclusion of play in any pool, all tied teams will flip coins to determine which team
receives the bye to the second “tiebreaking game.” The odd coin receives the bye. The other two teams will play a
“tiebreaking game” beginning at the start of overtime per NCAA Rules (two 10-minute sudden death overtime periods,
followed by PK’s). Following a 20-minute break, the winning team advances to the 2 nd “tie breaking game” to play the
team that received the bye. Any such tiebreaking games are a continuation of pool play and are considered individual
games. Any cards issued will carry the same penalty(ies) as in any other tournament game.
