Tie Break Rules

(A) GROUP STANDINGS

Point System for teams in a round robin

2 – POINTS FOR A WIN

1 – POINT FOR A TIE

0 – POINTS FOR A LOSS

(B) If two or more teams are tied in points, the following steps will be used to break the tie:

1.               The team winning the most games, places higher

2.               If still tied, the team that won the game played against the team with which it is tied, places higher

3.               GOAL SPREAD – If still tied, the team with the greatest goal spread, places higher (difference between goals scored by a team and the goals scored against a team)

4.               GOALS DIFFERENTIAL- If still tied, the goals scored against a team are divided into the goals scored by that team. The team with the greatest quotient  places higher (Note): A team with zero goals against will have a divider of 1.(Above)

5.               If still tied, the team with the best performance record against the first place team in their group, shall place higher

If still tied, the team with the lowest penalty record will place higher
