Playoff Tiebreakers

In the event of a points tie in league standings in a division, the following Tie Breakers apply in descending order:

  1. Head to Head Record (if tied or did not play each other then advance to next rule)
  2. Most Wins (if tied then advance to next rule)
  3. Most Ties (if tied then advance to next rule)
  4. Least Goals Allowed, cumulative, but calculated on a per-game basis and capped at 5 per game (if tied then advance to next rule)
  5. Winning Goal Differential - cumulative, but calculated on a per-game basis and capped at 3 per game for the winning team only, no impact on losing teams. (if tied then advance to next rule)
  6. Points Earned in games against Common Opponents (if equal then advance to next rule)
  7. Least Goals Allowed in Games Against Common Opponents, cumulative, but calculated on a per-game basis and capped at 5 per game (if equal or not definitive due to no common opponents, then advance to next rule)
  8. Least Red Cards and/or Coach/Player/Supporter ejections (if equal then advance to next rule)
  9. Least Forfeits (if equal then advance to next rule)
  10. Least Yellow Cards (if equal then advance to next rule)
  11. Coin Flip (round robin if more than two teams)

If games are cancelled by the league for any reason and cannot be rescheduled, and/or if there are scenarios where teams have played more or less games than other teams in their division, the following tiebreaker/special case calculations apply in descending order. These tiebreakers only apply to teams whose playoff seedings potentially could have changed if all games (and/or the same number of games as other teams) had been played. This does not apply to teams that would have been mathematically eliminated even if their cancelled game(s) had been rescheduled and played and/or if they had played the same number of games as other teams. For items 4 and 5 below, the Statistician will establish a common denominator (games against common opponents), if applicable:

  1. Average points earned per game played. (Points divided by games played)
  2. Least Goals Allowed per game played.(Goals Allowed divided by games played). Goals Allowed total is cumulative, but calculated on a per-game basis and capped at 5 per game (if tied then advance to next rule)
  3. Head to Head results (if equal or not definitive due to multiple teams not having played each other, then advance to next rule)
  4. Points Earned in Games Against Common Opponents (if equal or not definitive due to no common opponents, then advance to next rule)
  5. Least Goals Allowed in Games Against Common Opponents, cumulative, but calculated on a per-game basis and capped at 5 per game (if equal or not definitive due to no common opponents, then advance to next rule)
  6. Least Red Cards and/or Coach/Player/Supporter ejections (if equal then advance to next rule)
  7. Least Yellow Cards (if equal then advance to next rule)
  8. Least Forfeits (if equal then advance to next rule)
  9. Coin Flip (round robin if more than two teams)

* If, after the posting of this notice and at the sole discretion of the Region 254 Board, a more fair and impartial tiebreaker is considered, then the more equitable tiebreaker may supersede the tiebreakers above, subject to a vote by the Board.
