[QUOTE="danielb927, post: 1853499, member: 3372"] In your example, yes, a 10-point OT win would almost certainly be considered quite a bit better than a one point regulation win. Most of the systems out there* are based on three numbers per game: - Points scored - Points allowed - Total # of possessions Nothing special is done for OT, but an OT game will (usually) have more possessions, so it does still factor in. For example, in our game against Texas there were 80 total possessions: 70 in regulation and 10 more in OT. We scored 85 and allowed 78 points on 80 possessions, which amounts to 1.06 pts/poss. scored and 0.97 pts/poss. allowed. If you adjust to the # of possessions in regulation, you get a final score of 74-68. So in other words, our 7-point OT win was roughly equivalent to a 6-point regulation win. *as far as I know [/QUOTE]
