U11 – Top 4 teams advance to Semi-Final Round
U10, U12 & U13 – The top 2 teams in each group and 2 Wildcards (2 Best Overall Records) will advance to the A Championship. The Remaining teams will advance to B Championship.
SEEDING – CHAMPIONSHIP ROUNDS
In all Rounds teams will be seeded according to overall record. (Highest Seed vs Lowest Seed). Seeding will be adjusted, if possible, to avoid teams playing a team which they had previously played in Round Robin play. (U11 – Seeding used for Semi-Finals only)
TIE-BREAKING FORMULA
In the case of ties within each age category, the following procedures will be used:
A) If 2 teams are tied in points after round-robin games and one has a win over the other, the team with the win will advance. If teams tied during round-robin play the team with the highest percentage will advance.
B) If 3 or 4 teams are tied in points after round-robin play. The first tie breaker will be points for games between tied teams only. If still tied the team(s) with the higher percentage, will advance. If any step in the tiebreaker only seeds one team, that team assumes that position. The 3-4 team tie breaker will continue to determine the seeding of the remaining teams. At no time will teams using this formula go back to a 2-team tie breaker.
NOTE: – All games are included
Example – Goals for 10, Goals Against 4
Percentage – 10/10+4 = .714
If a tie still exists in A or B above: Ties will be broken in the following order:
a) If still tied the team with least goals against will advance.
b) If still tied the team with the most goals for will advance
c) If still tied team which won, the most periods in all games played will advance
