DIVISION STANDINGS
Division standings will be based upon total points at the completion of preliminary matches according to the following point system:
3 points for a win
1 points for a tie
0 points for a loss
Where required to break a tie for standings within a division, or for purposes of determining a “wild-card” team, the following order will be used to determine the winner: (Note: If a wild card team MUST be selected for the playoff rounds, that team will not be assigned to play against the winner of its own group in the first playoff round)
(1) Head to head competition – Except where three teams are tied, in which case head-to-head competition will not be used. In the case where three teams are tied, begin with a tiebreaker number (2).
(2) Goal difference: Total net score for tournament games. Net score = goals scored, less goals scored against. A maximum differential of 5 goals per game will account for this purpose.
(3) Goals Scored (Max of five per game).
(4) Goals Against (Max of five per game)
(5) FIFA penalty kicks. If necessary, these penalty kicks will take place immediately prior to the semi-final or championship match. (The penalty kicks must be taken by players that are on the field at the end of regulation).
Match reports must be submitted by the winning team within 30 minutes of the game ending time for the score to be recorded. In the event of a tie; both teams submit match results to the site coordinator. Match reports must indicate the score of the game and must be signed by the Head Official of the match. Failure to submit the match report may result in forfeiture of the game. The final determination will be made by the Tournament Director only on this matter.
