WR8.08 Tie-Breaking to Determine Standings:
In the Event of a tie in points between teams, the final standings shall be
determined as follows:
TIE BREAKER FOR TWO TEAMS
In the event of a tie in points between two teams the final standing shall be
determined as follows:
1) The team that won the greater number of points in the games played, during the
competition, between the teams that tied shall be declared the winner of the
higher position. (HEAD TO HEAD)
2) If a tie still exists, the Goal Average Formula will be used to break the tie, all goals
scored in the games during the competition shall be used in the goal average
computation. (See Goal Average Formula) below
3) If a tie still exists the team with least carded fouls in all Round Robin games
played shall be declared the winner.
4) If a tie still exists then a coin toss will decide the winner.
The Goal Average Formula is defined as follows:
GF
______________ = GOAL AVERAGE
GF + GA
The team with the goal average closest to 1.0 shall be declared the winner.
In the formula, the scores of all the games in the Round Robin of the tied teams are
Used. The maximum difference in scores allowed per team will be 12, which is
achieved by reducing “Goals for”. Actual scores are used except those matches
where the goal difference exceeds 12. In these cases, the goal difference is reduced
to 12. For example, a score of 15 – 1 will be reduced to 13 – 1 before using the goal
formula.
TIE BREAKER FOR THREE OR MORE TEAMS:
1) The team(s) that won the greater number of points in games played, during the
competition, between the team(s) tied shall be declared the winner of the higher
position (HEAD TO HEAD)
