Two teams Tied

1. Best win record in games played between tied teams
2. If still tied, the team with the best win record

The goal average of a team is determined by dividing the total number of goals for by the total number of goals for and against in all games played.    Note that a maximum of 7-goal difference per game will be used in the calculation of the game ratio.  This will be calculated from the actual 'goals for' of the losing team in the particular game.

5. If still tied, the team to qualify would be the team which scored the earliest goal in the game(s) between the tied teams.
6. If still tied after all previous methods have been applied, the winner will be determined by a single toss of a coin.

Note this tiebreaker is used to determine the seeding of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.

1. Best record in games played between tied teams
2. Most wins in all games.
3. If still tied, the team with the best goal average in all games would qualify. The goal average of a team is determined by dividing the total number of goals for by the total number of goals for and against in all games played.  Note that a maximum of 7-goal difference per game will be used in the calculation of the game ratio.  This will be calculated from the actual 'goals for' of the losing team in the particular game.
