    IS Cup 4 Playoffs: Round 1

    IS_Cup_4_Playoffs_Round_1_cover_img.jpg

    NHLGamers,

    IS Cup 4 is well on its way and we've been treated to a some great games already. Over the course of the group stage we've seen a massive 2,984 goals scored in 462 matches, we also have three teams are who yet to be beaten, and four more who have only dropped one game thus far. All this means is that the playoffs are going to be heck of a treat to watch for the spectators as the 32 most competitive teams go to head to head, with the goal of making their way into the final four, securing a spot at GameXpo - as well as a shot at the title itself. As this group stage has been played under a particularly tight set schedule, we would like to take a moment and thank all participating teams for working well within the given limitations.

    Please note that the schedule for the IS Cup 4 playoffs is as follows:
    Round 1: 28.10 - 30.10
    Round 2: 31.10 - 3.11
    Quarterfinals: 4.11 - 6.11
    Semifinals & Finals @ GameXpo: 15-16.11

     

    Regarding the matchups we feel that transparency is the best policy. As such, it has to come our attention that the rule book had an omission in that when tie-breaking teams from different groups, PPG was ignored, with the following statistics being used instead to seed teams: Wins*; Goal difference*; Scored goals*. The major oversight in this was of course, a team could end up being seeded below another team despite finishing at an equal rank in a  group while having earned more points over the course of the regular season. As such, we felt that such an omission should be corrected for as opposed to carrying on and the rules have been clarified.

     


    Without further ado, here are the matchups for round 1:

    If the new tie-breaking rules follow the wins as tie breaker, why havu is first? Last time I checked havu had 12 wins and delusion had 14. XD

    Win%, then goal differential per game.

    Please let us know when the match-ups are planned to be played. We are currently looking for matches to broadcast on Tuesday. 

    There has also been some requests to start playing already on Sunday - how many teams would be interested in doing that? (There will be no broadcast on Sunday)
