Tournament Format
During the group stage of play, each win will be worth two points, each draw/tie one point, and each loss zero. Games will be played with a 3-on-3, five-minute sudden-death overtime period, after which if no team has scored the game ends in a tie. The top four teams from each group will advance to the Round of 16, where group winners will be seeds 1-4, second-place teams will be seeds 5-8, etc.
Ties in each group's points standings will be broken using the following criteria, in this order: head-to-head points; goal differential; head-to-head goal differential; goals scored; head-to-head goals scored. These tiebreakers will also be used where necessary to sort teams for seeding in the Round of 16.
During the single-elimination phase of the tournament, games tied at the end of regulation will continue to play 5-on-5, 20-minute sudden-death overtime periods until one team scores. Teams will be re-seeded for each successive round.
The tournament will be scored via xkoranate, using the SQIS Modifiers and no shootouts. Style modifiers, selected by each nation for their own team, may range from -5 to +5, representing a spectrum from very defensive to very aggressive play. Team skill values will be tightly grouped and determined using a combination of WCoH ranking and WJHC 14 performance.
Roleplay posts and rosters will be graded qualitatively, mainly on the basis of creativity. RP bonuses will be cumulative and fairly generous to compensate for those nations who may not have previous WJHC ranking off which to base a skill value.
