In the event of a tie, a five-minute sudden-death overtime period will be played.
If still tied after 3 periods and overtime, the game will go to a shootout. Each team will take 3 shots. If the game is still tied after 3 shots, the game will go to a sudden-death shootout. Each team will take 1 shot until one team scores and the other does not. 
Every player must shoot before someone can shoot for a second time.

1. Points in Round Robin Tournament (Win = 2 points / Tie = 1 point)
2. Head-to-Head Wins (tied Team A beat tied Team B in Round Robin Tournament)
3. Highest Goals For With Cap (+3 goal cap per game, eliminates the need to run up the score needlessly. For Example – if you win 6-1 the formula it will only count as 4-1)
