Conference Scoring and Tie Breaker:

Each conference contest will be scored as follows: win = 3
points, tie = 1 point, and loss = no points.

In the event that two conference opponents are tied in the
conference standings, the following criteria will be used to
satisfy the tie and establish seeding:

a. Head-to-head competition between tied opponents based
upon win/loss ratio.

b. Goal differential between tied opponents in both
conference contests using both goals scored, and goals
scored against with a maximum goal differential of 5 goals.

c. Head-to-head competition with the next highest common
conference opponent based upon win/loss ratio. If the next
highest common conference opponent is also tied with
another team(s) use the opponent that has the better
conference record as the “next highest”. If the next highest
common conference opponent is still tied with another
team(s), use the opponent that has the better overall
record as the next highest.

d. Goal differential between tied opponents and the next
highest common conference opponent using both goals
scored, and goals scored against. If the next highest
common conference opponent is also tied with another
team(s) use the opponent that has the better conference
record as the “next highest”. If the next highest common
conference opponent is still tied with another team(s), use
the opponent that has the better overall record as the next
highest.

e. Coin toss by class ‘A’ soccer chair or his/her designee with
the winner taking the higher seed.
