Tie breakers

[rowanhockey]

How can they do tie breakers for seeding by win percentage, head to head is always the number one tie breaker, that does not make sense at all

actually if you look at the NHL, the first tiebreaker is number of games won. Then head to head. And this was voted on so it is what it is.

Yea, the logic of using win percentage is that this is a season, and not a tournament. Head to Head is obviously the second tie-breaker, but just like in the NHL, 14-2-2 is not as good as 15-3-0.

If you don't like the tiebreakers, push for a new set of them at the next ACC meeting.

i agree with the wins being first tie breaker. but there is one good counter to it. who lost more games? maybe it should be lowest losing percentage haha

And the counter to that...Who failed to win the most games?

That's why I love the regional tie-breakers...After points, its straight up incoming seed.
