Due to the unbalanced schedule, we have had to change how we have to calculate the Final Standings by going with a "Winning %" as opposed to total points. We decided upon using "Winning Percentage" as opposed to some other method of calculation based on:
1) The Junior B league used this method to compensate for their unbalanced schedule this season. So somewhat of a precedent there.
2) Creates the least number of corrections, tiebreakers and movements within the current standings.
Once the Winning % formula was administered, the standings came out like this below... The only tie in the "Winning %" was between 2nd and 3rd place so a tie-breaker formula of head-to-head matchups was applied and the Thunderbirds came out ahead and the standings order remained the same between them.
Round One of the Playoffs will start next weekend, April 2-3. and to be completed no later than April 10th.
Series A) Armada vs Wildcats
Series B) Thunderbirds vs Jets
Series C) Thunder vs Kings
Series D) Knights vs Voyageurs
Series E) Admirals vs Highlanders
