KOTR Round 1 ends after DAY 28
The KOTR is back for NSHL25 and bigger and now better than ever.
The league will now be updating KOTR and publishing it to the website each day, along with the standard update data - no more screenshots in Discord off of Excel tables!
The KOTR channel in Discord is still to be reviewed regularly as updates and challenges will still be featured there!
The tournament kicked off today (Saturday, February 7th) and will proceed for the entire remainder of the regular season as we move from 140 players down to only 1, our King!
A reminder on tournament scoring: 2 pts for a Goal, 1 pt for an Assist, 0.5 pt per +/-, (-)0.5 pt per PIM.
Tie-break on eliminations is most G, A, +/- then fewest PIMs and if players are still tied, they are both/all eliminated.
