  All games played on April 22,23,24 which are tied at the end of regulation will go to overtime (at most, two 10 minute sudden victory periods with no rest between the periods).  If the game remains tied, we will use the IHSA shoot-out procedure.  These games will all end with a winner and a loser.
All of the games on April 29,30, and May 1, other than the championship bracket, will be official if the game is tied at the end of regulation (no shootout will take place). 
If any of the championship bracket games are tied at the end of regulation, we will go to overtime (at most, two 10 minute sudden victory periods with no rest between the periods).  If the game remains tied, we will use the IHSA shoot-out procedure to determine a winner.
 
 
SEEDING CRITERIA DURING GROUP PLAY

2. Head to head competition

*In case of a three way tie*

    1. The team with the greatest goal differential within the group will advance to the championship bracket.

    2. If #1 fails to break the three way tie, then the team with the most goals scored within the group will advance to the championship bracket.
