Tiebreakers

wiggleman83 · 06-01-2022, 01:21 PM

Does anyone know what the default tiebreakers are in custom games? I can't seem to figure it out looking at the standings. It seems random when two teams are tied in points.

A guess: Do your standings have a column for RW (regulation wins)? That's the first tiebreaker in the NHL now. It's not ROW (regulation/overtime wins), which means there wasn't a shootout. RW means the team won in 60 minutes. I haven't seen an RW column in my standard game. So if it works like NHL-irl but that column isn't on the screen, yep, it's gonna seem random.

The current NHL tiebreakers, in order, are:
RW
ROW
W
Head-to-head points
Overall goal differential

It'll be the NHL tiebreakers.

Since that's the case, will FHM9 include regulation wins in the standings screen? Is there a screen in FHM8 that we can see regulation wins without counting them on the schedule

They're in all the standings displays except the default one (since that's the shortened version that includes the stats leaders) - see the ROW column.

So the ROW column is the RW? This is what my standings have.
