POINTS FOR STANDINGS In Round Robin play, two (2) points shall be earned for a win, one (1) point for a tie, and zero (0) points for a loss. The greatest number of points earned shall determine the position of finish in each Round Robin bracket. If two (2) or more teams have an equal number of points, the position of finish shall be determined as follows:


HEAD TO HEAD (two teams only): If two (2) teams are tied within a Round Robin bracket, the team that acquires the greater number of points in the game between the two tied teams shall finish higher in position. NOTE: If three (3) or more teams are tied in points within a bracket, the HEAD to HEAD tie breaker shall not apply.

Furthermore, when three (3) or more teams are involved in a tie breaker, then the tie breaker rules shall be applied simultaneously to the tied teams. For calculating the Goal Differential statistics below, there shall be a maximum differential of six (6) goals for one (1) game.

Stats will not be entered on all goals that are greater than the 6 goal differential. They will be on the paper scoresheet, but not the electronic scoresheet.


GOAL DIFFERENTIAL IN GAMES INVOLVING THE TIED TEAMS ONLY: Subtracting goals scored against from goals scored in the games between or among the tied teams. The order of finish shall be in the order of the greatest surplus.


GOAL DIFFERENTIAL IN ALL ROUND ROBIN GAMES: Subtracting goals scored against from goals scored in all games played by each team in the Round Robin. The order of finish shall be in the order of the greatest surplus.


LEAST AMOUNT OF GOALS AGAINST– TIED TEAMS: Least amount of goals against in Round Robin play amongst the tied teams.


LEAST AMOUNT OF GOALS AGAINST – ALL TEAMS: Least amount of goals against in Round Robin play amongst ALL teams in the respective Round Robin bracket.

The Thanksgiving Cup will be keeping stats during the games. These stats consist of goals, assists, saves, etc. We do our best to accurately record goals and assists, but will make mistakes. Only one contact from each team is allowed to contact Julie Flakus to change points. The Thanksgiving Cup Tournament does reserve the right to require video verification of the goals from Live Barn if we believe team contacts are being untruthful in first and second assists and saves.

Her email and contact information will be given to the contact person before the start of the tournament.
