OPENING ROUND OF PLAYOFFS
Each conference will enter a playoff for their own championship tentatively scheduled to start on November 20th 2011. The regular season division winners in the Tier 1 Empire Conference will be awarded the first and second seed in the playoff bracket, with the division winner possessing the better Win-Loss record gaining the higher seed. Both division winners will receive a first round bye. The remaining four teams with the best Win-Loss record, regardless of division, will be awarded seeds 3 through 6 and compete in the opening round of the playoffs.
The regular season division winner and runner up in the Tier 2 Liberty Conference will be awarded the first and second seed in the playoff bracket and receive a first round bye. The next four teams with the best Win-Loss records will be awarded seeds 3 through 6 and compete in the opening round of the playoffs.
The early playoff rounds will be single elimination games and each conference’s Championship Finals will be a two-out-of three series. Divisional rankings and playoff seedings will first be be based on the Win-Loss record number of points with ties decided first by the head-to-head record between the teams. The Goals Against statistic will then be used to decide any additional ties (lower number wins) and the Goals For Statistic used to decide any further ties (higher number wins). Playoff games will have three running-time fifteen minute periods with stopped time only used in the last two minutes of the third period if the score differential is two goals or less. Playoff games tied after three periods will go to sudden-death fifteen minute overtime periods. No Mercy Rule is used during playoff games.
