Easton Cup Point System

[barry_mcconnell]

Scoring and Points format

Teams will be able to earn up to 14 points per game. Six (6) points for a game win, three (3) points for a game tie, two (2) points for a period win, one (1) point for a period tie, one (1) point for a game shutout, and one (1) point for the least penalty minutes.

If a team forfeits a game during pool-play they are required to forfeit all pool-play games in order to maintain equality in the standings.

Does this point system drive anyone else nuts? What's wrong with good old 2pts for a win and 1pt for a tie?

The problem with the "good old" scoring system is too many ties at the end of pool play and the hodge podge of tie breakers that are different for every tournament. I'm not saying this is better, but the "good old" system was not as simple or universal as you imply.

What is the logic behind the following scenario in this silver stick system(?)?

Two teams tie at the end of the game - team 1 wins 1:0 for both period 1 and 2, and then team 2 wins 2:0 for period 3 to tie the game. Just assume both teams have the same number of penalty minutes.

Team 1 would earn 7 points (3 + 2 + 2); and team 2 earns 5 points.

I say it for every tournament. For pool lay games, if you don't want to run a 5 minute run-time OT, just go to a 3-man shootout. Get rid of the ties.
