If two or more teams have an equal number of points, their position in the standings shall be determined by the following tie-breaking format. If one tie-breaker establishes a position for one or more teams, each team is placed in the applicable position. Once one or more teams are placed by a tie breaker, any remaining tied teams shall start the tie-breaking process over again at step 1. (If all tied teams have not played each other, then proceed to step 2.) Note: a team may go into the tie-breaking process having defeated another of the tied teams and still not advance).
The tie-breaker formulas are as follows:
1. The results of the head-to-head games played between the tied teams in the following order:
a. Most points.
b. Most wins.
c. Goal Differential
d. Fewest Goals Against
2. If after applying the formulas of 1 a, b, c, d the tie still exists, the results of ALL the games played by the teams tied in the following order:
a. Most Points
b. Most Wins
c. Goal Differential
d. Fewest Goals Against
3. If above procedure does not break the tie, a coin toss will be used.
