LEAGUE STANDING TIE BREAKER RULES

League Standings Tiebreaker:
Pts, Pct, MT, GD, GA, Fewest Penalty Minutes
  1. Pts = Most Points
  2. Pct = Game Winning Percentage (Only used when tied teams have played a different number of games at year end:  Points divided by Games Played). Otherwise, skip to #3. 
  3. MT = Most Ties
  4. GD = Goal Differential (Goals For minus Goals Against)
  5. GA = Goals Against
  6. Fewest Penalty Minutes
*Note: Most Wins is not used as a tiebreaker.  Instead, teams with More Ties will place higher than teams with More Wins.
(Rationale:  6 points from 6 ties demonstrates a higher compete level in all games played. 6 points from 3 wins and 3 losses demonstrates a lower compete level in all games played).
