Goal Average
The goal average of a team is to be determined by dividing the total number of goals for and against into total number of goals for, with the team having the highest percentage winning the higher position.
Example: For 10 goals, Against 4 goals Percentage 10/14 = .714
For 10 goals, Against 5 goals Percentage 10/15 = .667
In this example .714 wins tiebreaker.
