Tiebreaking Rules for Advancement to the Semi-Finals (Example)
The tiebreaking rules determine first, second, third, etc..seeding is done on a 1 by 1 stand alone basis. For example, three teams are tied with four points. In head to head play team 1 beats team 2, and team 3 beats team 1, and team 2 beats team 3. Team 1, team 2 and team 3 have goals against of 8,10,9 respectively. Under this scenario, all three teams are tied with 4 points a piece (Rule1), so head to head (Rule 2) is applied. Since each team beat one another we move to least goals against (Rule 3). Since team 1 had 8 goals against vs. 10, and 9, team 1 would take the 1st seed. For the 2nd seed we exclude team 1, and reconsider head to head, and least goals against. Since team 2 beat team 3, team 2 would take the 2nd seed even though team 3 has less goals against then team 2.
