STANDINGS RULES & RANKING
1. The point system for teams ranking in the standings will be as follow: 2 points for a WIN, 1 point for a TIE, & 0 point for a LOSS.
2. In the event of a tie between 2 or more teams, for a playoff seed after applying ranking criteria, the following criteria will apply through 1 to 9 listed below until 1 team and only 1 team is identified ahead of all other teams tied. That team has the next position in the standings while we repeat the whole process from step 1 with the remaining teams to determine the team's ranking in the standings:
