39. League Standings:
Only qualifying matches are used to determine a team’s league standings. Three (3) points are awarded for a win, one (1) point for a tie, and zero (0) for a loss. A forfeit will be treated as a loss. A team ready to play whose competitor forfeits shall be awarded a win (3 points). No points will be allowed for any team forfeiting (0 points). In any case, where both teams forfeit, 0 points will be
awarded. Wins, losses and forfeits will be determined by the League. The team with the highest points percentage will be ranked number 1 and the second highest points percentage will be ranked number 2 in league standings, and so on.
At season’s end, teams will be ranked within the league by their point percentage.
Example: A team plays 10 games with a record of 5-3-2. Five wins for 15 points, three losses for 0 points, and two ties for 2 points = 17 total points, or a .567 points percentage.
17 total points will be divided by the total maximum points 30.(10 games x 3 points = 30 pts.) Winning percentage = .567
In the case of ties within a division the following tie breaking procedures will be used for qualifying matches only:
1. Winner of head-to-head competition. (This criteria is not used in more than two teams are tied. See below.)
2. Most wins.
3. Team with greatest net goal difference (NGD) which his computed as “goals for” minus “goals against” with a maximum
of 3 NGD per game.
4. Team with the least goals against (there is NO limit on the number of goals that will be counted to determine this
tiebreaker).
5. Team with the most goals (maximum of goals per game).
6. Coin toss.
More than two teams tied:
If more than two (2) teams are tied, the sequence will start at 39.2 and will be followed until a team is eliminated. When a team is eliminated, the remaining teams will then restart the sequence at 39.2 above, until the tie is broken.
