Ranking Criteria

Points

Points are the primary ranking criteria.
• Each team receives 6 points for a win, 3 points for a tie, and 0 points for a loss.
• Each team receives an additional point for each goal, up to 3.
• No points are earned for a shutout.
• Each team has 1 point deducted for each accumulated red card (two yellows).
• Each team has 1 point deducted for each red card.

If two or more teams are tied on points, the following ranking criteria are used, in order:

Head to Head

If two or more teams are tied, the team that won the most games against other tied teams is ranked above the other teams.

Goals For/Scored

More Goals_For, up to 3 per game, places a team over a team with fewer Goals_For.

Goals Against/Allowed

Fewer Goals Allowed puts a team over a team with more Goals Allowed.

Red Card Count

A team with more red cards is ranked below one with fewer.

Coin Flip

When all else fails, a coin flip is used to rank two teams.
