Tie-breaker #1: Fewer amount of goals allowed. The team allowing the fewest goals will be ranked higher than the other team.
-
Tie-breaker #2: Higher amount of goals allowed. The team scoring the most goals will be ranked higher than the other team.
-
Tie-breaker #3: Common opponents. A better win-loss record of a team with common opponents willl rank that team higher
than the other.
