Standings in pool play will go by win-loss-tie record
          2 - points for win
          1 - points for tie

          0 - points for loss

• Tie Breaking Procedure
        o Two Teams Tied - If two teams are tied:

       1. i) Best win record in games played between tied teams.
       2. ii) If still tied, the team with the best win record.
       3. iii) If the two teams are still tied after i) and ii) have been applied, then the team with                                                                   the best goal average gains the higher position. The goal average of a team is to be                                                                   determined in the following manner:

Total number of goals for divided by the total number of goals for and against NOTE: All games
are included.

Example: Goals For = 10, Goals Against = 4 Goal
Percentage Total Goals For 10 ÷ 14 = .714

      o Three Teams Tied

       NOTE: The three-team tiebreaker is used to determine the seeding of the three tied teams.                                                                   If any step in the tiebreaker only seeds one team, that team assumes that position. The                                                           Three-team tiebreaker will continue to determine the seeding of the two remaining teams.                                                       At no time will teams using this formula go back to the two-team tiebreaker.

      NOTE: If three teams or more are tied, the point record established in the games among the                                                                tied teams only will be used as the first tie breaking formula in deciding which team(s)shall                                                    advance, provided they played an equal number of games against one another.

i)  The team with the most wins (among tied teams), in ALL games, would gain the highest                                                           position.

ii)   If teams are still tied after i) has been applied then the team with the best goal average                                                           gains the highest position. See formula above.
