Selection & tiebreaker rules
15. Seeding

The top four teams are selected and seeded according to Conference game winning percentage at the conclusion of the regular season.

Tie Breaking Procedures

The following policies are established to break ties at the end of the regular season for selection/seeding purposes. Follow the appropriate steps in order. Once one or more teams gain an advantage in the case of a multiple-team tie, revert to the beginning of the tie-breaking policies with the remaining teams.

  1. Regular season head-to-head results. If three or more teams are tied, they are viewed as a mini-conference when comparing head-to-head results. The team or teams with the best combined record versus the other teams in the mini-conference gain the advantage.
  2. Each team’s record versus the team occupying the highest position in the standings, continuing down through the standings until one team gains an advantage. When arriving at another pair or group of tied teams while comparing records, use each team’s record against the tied teams as a group rather than the performance against the individual tied teams.
  3. Each team’s Conference seasonal goal differential (maximum of three goals per game.)
  4. Each team’s Conference seasonal goals for (maximum of three goals per game.)
  5. Each team’s Conference seasonal goals against (maximum of three goals per game.)
  6. Coin flip conducted by the Conference office.

Shootout convention confirmed by BIG EAST: Use the published final score. A 1–1 game won in a shootout is recorded as 2–1: +1 goal differential for the winner and -1 for the loser. Apply the separate three-goal caps to each game’s differential, goals for and goals against. Lower capped goals against gains the advantage at Step 5.
