Ranking Criteria

Home

Points

• Each team receives 5 points for a win, 3 points for a tie, and 0 points for a loss.
• Each winning team receives an additional point for each goal scored over opponent's goals (GD), up to 3,
  and 2 points for a shutout.
• Each tying team receives 2 points for a shutout.

If two or more teams are tied on points, the following ranking criteria are used, in order:

Goals Against/Allowed

Fewer Goals Allowed, up to 3 per game, puts a team over a team with more Goals Allowed.

Goal Differential

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

Kicks from the Mark/Penalty Kicks

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