Playoff Home Ice

[Brian-Cleveland]

I have a question regarding home ice in Round 2. Currently it shows that Chicago gets home ice over Cleveland. Chicago was a wild card team and I was a #2 seed in my division. I also had more points than Chicago. I know that the playoffs are more of a bracket style, but even though he beat Johnstown I don't think that gives him the home ice for Round 2.

For example, the Minnesota Wild were a wild card team and they knocked out the #1 seed Colorado Avalanche. But, in Chicago (the #3 seed) has home ice for Round 2.

Glenn, I can't remember if having home ice is a factor in the sim or not, but I would still like to have the "home ice advantage".

Good catch Brian, I will correct this later today. In response to the follow up question, home ice does not currently play any roll in determining a games outcome however this is one of the things I am going to look to add for next year where teams will start out with a small base advantage for playing at home and this can be adjusted dynaically depending how the team does throughout the year at home.
