The NSHL IX Shootout Tournament is a bracketed single-elimination tournament that takes place during the All-Star Classic break at mid-season. The top sixteen teams based on the rankings below qualify to enter the tournament and are seeded based on the same ranking.
Each time a team goes to a shootout in the regular season, their shootout record below is affected based on the outcome of that game.
The first tie-breaker is shootout goals for / goals against differential, then more goals for, fewer goals against, more wins, and finally, fewest losses. If a tie cannot be broken after that a one shootout match-up between tied teams is used to break the tie.
