iv. If still tied, the team with the least number of minutes in penalties throughout all games prevails. (Note: minor penalties in run time will count as 2 minutes)
v. If still tied, then the team which scored the earliest goal in the game(s) between the tied teams prevails
vi. If the teams are still tied, a single coin toss will determine which team prevails
