10 - Divisional Standings for Playoffs, Deductions for Non-Playoff Players – NHLP Divisions Next Season

(New – 2025/26) At the conclusion of the NHLP regular season and to determine the NHLP playoff seeding in each division, conference, and the league's official final standings for next year’s division seeding the NHLP will set the final standings using the following formulae:

a) (New – 2025/26) The standings (1^st to 6^th seeding) in each division are first set based on the highest scoring 8-player playoff teams, seeded 1 to 6^th, if all teams have full 8-player playoff rosters. Next, the highest scoring of the 7-player playoff teams gets the highest remaining seed with all non-playoff players being 100% point penalties. If the standings are still not set, next the highest scoring 6 man teams, then 5 man teams, etc. will determine the final standings.

In short, regardless of point totals, teams are seeded as follows: all 8 playoff player teams first, then all 7 playoff player teams, etc.

b) To determine the Division in each Conference for next season the 5^th place teams and the two teams that win the first round stay in their current Division for the next season. The team finishing 6^th and two first round losing teams move to the same Conferences other Division for the next season. This allows the NHLP GMs to all be in the same Divisions, or different Divisions annually.

Notes for 2026/27
-*If you do not pick on your first available day, you automatically pick behind a GM scheduled to pick that day. If two GM's are to pick on the same day, the GM lower in the pecking order (with the overall lowest points of his three teams) picks first.
-If two or more GM's pick the same day by 6 PM, but both take the same players and one is not available because of this, the other GM is given to 7 PM to make a replacement pick or he is bumped to the next day.
