The Calgary Flames and Cicago Wolves are officially protesting the start of the AsHL playoffs on behalf of the Chicago Wolves and the Jacksonville Jokers. Both teams had one more win than the team they ended up being tied with for the 8th and final playoff position.
To make a point, every season that there has been a tie for a playoff position the first tie-breaker has always been most wins.

Maybe the tie breaker is different in the new sim. In NHL, is it not the series between the two teams fighting over the spot the tie breaker?

I'm not sure how the sim calculates tiebreakers, but the NHL did revise their tie-break system. They no longer count shootout wins for tiebreaker purposes. The first tiebreaker is regulation and overtime wins.
In this case, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton had one more win than Jacksonville. However, Chicago had one more win than Kansas City. That doesn't really help here though. Doubtful there was anything Nate could do here. Have to figure out how Simon programmed the tiebreak rules in the sim.

I do know that our leagues are unfortunately at the mercy of how THE SIMULATOR issues the standings based on tie break.
If you are wondering if you can just switch a team out of the playoffs in exchange for another it is impossible. I know from seasons past when we've seen problems we have had to settle situations like this monetarily.
If you haven't already, Andrew. Send Nate and email and the BOD can get started on figuring out compensation.
It's hard to have to apologize for glitches in the simulator, however, i certainly understand what it must feel like to deserve to be in the playoffs and get the unfair axe, that's for sure. The NsHL has, and will continue to do whatever we can to make things right considering that the simulator allows the Commissioner very little recourse in matters such as this.

I already had a conversation with Nate. He said we were at the mercy of the sim. No big deal. I was just venting holisticly. Now if it had been my Flames......that'd be different!! As for the tie breaker rule, I didn't know the NHL had changed the rules. Good to know.
