[/quote:1na94ygt]
Thunder have won 3 games albeit 2 in OT, which puts them above the Admirals 2 wins in regular time. That and the fact that the Admirals have a “Thunder of old” goal differential mean they are behnd in the standingsThe table is actually copied from the official table.
I presume the order between the two is determined by goal difference at present.
"vpatrol":o4d78kbl wrote:There aren’t any official deciders in the events manual as to who is placed higher.[/quote:o4d78kbl]Won’t the NZIHL use the IIHF rules for such things? I’m pretty sure the IIHF rule book or some other official IIHF thingy has rules on this sort of thing.
It’s not in the events manual, it’s in the rules and regulations:
8.5 League Standings
(a) Points System
Points shall be awarded as follows:
3 points for the winning team at the conclusion of regulation time
1 point for both teams at the conclusion of regulation time if the game is tied
An additional point earned for the team winning the game in a 5-minute overtime
period, or the Game Winning Shots Procedure if the teams are still tied following
conclusion of the overtime period
0 points for the team losing the game in regulation time
(b) Finals Qualification
The two teams with the highest points earned in round robin qualify for the final.
If tied, then match results between tied teams will determine placing.
If still tied, the goal difference between the tied teams will determine the placing.
The final determination is based on most goals scored in total including round robin games.Fantastic result last night for thunder, Got to love it.
Now a spot of table watching……….The Thunder are still in controll of own destiny. by winning there remaining 5 games in reg time and gaining max points they will be in the finals. This is taking into consideration all options of other teams picking up maximum points unless playing the thunder.
Maximum points available to all teams below
BS – 33
DT – 28
WAA – 27
CRD – 25
SS – 22So devine intervention has yet a part to play in us making the Finals and winning the ( Trophy, Cup ,Title, Plate , Bowl, Certificate?)
Go thunder!!!
How did you work out the maximum point totals? Since Stampede and Thunder both have 13 points and equal amount of games left, their maximums are the same are they not? The Red Devils can reach 31 with 4 wins. The Botany Swarm can reach 36 with 3 games remaining. Alcohol impaired math is no laughing matter!
For those who don’t know what the teams are playing for. Way better than a certificate. They found it was hard to drink out of that during beta testing.
This is Biased table towards the thunder winning all games. You are correct in that teams could have more points if they won against the Thunder, but its just not going to happen.
The Thunder have yet to play the away games against the Stampede.
The thunder will pick up all six points available from that match up. the stampede – zero, giving a 6 point split between the teams in the final wash up. the maximums are what the teams could get whilst loosing to the thunder as the Thunder are winning all remaining games.

or work out 5 separate point table scenarios assuming all other teams run the board? Technically all teams are in control of their destiny at the moment. Not all have supporters as fervent as you though.
” title=”Smiley” />Let’s see if Polozov plays today. He’s a key piece to the Swarm offence. He would have been missed yesterday.
Why is it that a team winning in over time gets less than winning in regulation time? is this standard across ice hockey competitions? i think it is ridiculous, a win is a win, doesnt matter if it comes in regulation, over time, or in a shoot out. Though i do agree with the loser in overtime getting a point, i feel that the winner should still get full points for a win.
IIHF rules have 2 points for an overtime/shootout win, 3 points for regulation.
It’s because there’s 3 points for a game, if they give one to the losing team for being tied at the end of regulation, there’s only 2 for the winner.
NHL does it the other way – 2 points for a win (in regulation or overtime), 1 point for losing in overtime.
