In the event of a tie for advancement or seeding, the LCAHL Playoffs Tiebreaker will be used.

First tiebreaker utilizes only the games played amongst the tied teams. In these games, the tiebreaker is (used only if the number of games is equal):

1. Points acquired in these games (aka head-to-head)
2. Goal differential in these games (aka plus/minus)
3. Goal quotient in these games  (goals scored/goals allowed)

If the tie is not broken in the above tiebreakers, then numbers 2 and 3 above are applied to all games played. There is no limit applied on goal differential or goal quotient.

For the Complete Rules Regarding Tiebreakers, please see LC Playoff Tiebreaker-2012.doc, posted below.
