With at least 39 games, the ice hockey championship title is also awarded in case of cancellation of Corona – sport

Even if the current season were to be canceled during the regular season, a champion must be chosen, provided that all teams in the relevant league have played at least 75 percent of all games. This was decided by the National League clubs and Switzerland at a virtual league meeting on Monday.

The amount of points per game is crucial

If you cancel, the leaderboard must be calculated based on the average number of points per game. Then the following criteria should be applied:

• If 2 teams have the same number of points, the team with the most away games will be ranked better.
• The result of direct matches, the goal difference (goal difference / number of matches) and the highest ratio of goals scored (goals scored / number of matches) are then taken into account for the calculation.

In the event of the end of the season during the playoffs, the first classified will be crowned Swiss champion, provided they have not been eliminated at the time of completion. The clubs also decided to extend the transfer period within Switzerland until February 15.
