Ranking Criteria

Points

Points are the primary ranking criteria. Each team receives 3 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, and 0 points for a loss.

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 places a team over a team with fewer Goals_For.

Goal Differential

Higher Goal Differential puts a team over a team with a lower Goal Differential.

Goals Against/Allowed

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

Kicks from the Mark/Penalty Kicks

When all else fails, Kicks from the Mark (PKs) are used to rank two teams.
