Tie Breaking Protocols: 

  1. For determining standings after round robin play

    • The 1st tie breaker will be games against each other (head to head result).

    • The 2nd tie breaker will be highest points for and against differential.

    • The 3rd tie breaker will be a fewest points against.

    • The 4th tie breaker will be a coin toss. 

  2. If teams are tied after regulation time during round robin play, the tie will stand. If teams are tied after regulation time in a playoff match, a 3 minute sudden death overtime will be played. If teams are still tied after the sudden death overtime period, one player from each team will be chosen to drop-kick for goal starting from the 10m out directly in front of the posts.  If only one player is successful, their team wins.  If both kickers are successful, they back up 5 meter, continuing the process until only one kicker is successful.
