How are playoff seedings decided?
Using the stats off the website scoreboard and the total number of possible points, the seeding is determined by the # of points earned during a session. A win = 3 points, a tie = 1 point, a loss = 0 points and a shutout = 1 point. If for example a team plays 7 games, the total possible game points is 21. 7 games x 3 points. If the team won 3 games and tied 2 and lost 2 games, their total points would be 3×3=9 + 2 points = 11 total points out of a possible 21 points = 10 points/21 possible game points. Shutouts add additional points. From the scenario mentioned – the team has 10 points/21 possible game points and 2 of those games won were shutouts, add 2 more points. Their score then would be 12/21 with a points differential of 9. If it is a head to head tie, then the team with the lowest Op score gets the higher seeding.
