Sorry if this is dumb question.

Let's say Sweden beats USA in regulation, Canada does the same to Finland.

They are tied at 5 points. What's the tie breaker? Who beat who in round robin? Goal differential? Regulation wins?

Anyone know. I can't find it.

First of all, there are no dumb questions, seriously.

Also tie breaker is decided upon the two tying teams head to head battle.

So in this case, US would top Canada

There are lots of dumb questions for example is the sky green?

Do Cows speak English?

Are the lizard people living among us?

Is 42 really the answer to life?

To say there are no dumb questions just isn't true.

There are A LOT of dumb questions

Cows speak whatever language they were taught.

Lizard people do live among us but they can't reveal themselves.

42 is the answer. Seriously, have you never hitchhiked through the galaxy? (Don't forget to bring a towel.)
 
Anyways, this last round robin game is just a formality for Canada, they should already concentrate for the final which will be a very tough game. But should the sheer, physical and scientific impossibility of a Finnish win to happen, then I can see the US losing to Sweden...

Sweden HAS to win and hope Canada loses.

Finland also has the tie-breaker against Sweden. As someone said above, the only chance for Sweden to get in is to win in regulation and hope the Can/Fin game goes to OT. The biggest thing Sweden has going for them is this will be a meaningless game for the US so who knows if they'll show up plus Canada and Finland are probably pretty evenly matched so OT is definitely possible.

Gonna be an interesting day tomorrow. Since the Can/Fin game is first, the US will be able to pick their opponent in the final by either beating Sweden or mailing it in so they can play them in the final. They've beaten Sweden badly already and lost to Finland so if Finland beats Canada in OT, maybe they choose to mail it in. Pretty wild.

The sky could be green to certain people with eye conditions.

Sadly, the SWE/USA was scheduled as the late game. So, SWE will know its fate before puck drop. Currently, CAN through 2 is up 4-0 on FIN.

International Tournaments use a 3-2-1 point system. 3 points per game, so H2H matchups are the tie breaker. If tied, they base the tie breaker on who earned more points in the H2H.
 
As is written in the rules


*Any tie breaks will be personally decided by our Lord and Savior J(esus)T Miller, whomever he decides makes it makes it, he may even go off the board and choose Botswana, whatever he wills*
