TIE-BREAKERS
In the unlikely case of teams tied in game points, teams advance according to the WA tie breaker rules, stated in the WA Playing Rules, Appendix BL
Two Way Ties - BL 9.6.3.1
If two (2) teams shall have equal points, further classification shall be established as follows:
"...The team winning the game between the two teams shall be placed higher..." (no other provisions apply)
Three Way Ties - BL 9.6.3.2
If three (3) or more teams shall have equal points, further classification shall be established as follows:
BL 9.6.3.2.1 : The results among the tied teams shall determine which team is placed highest.
BL 9.6.3.2.2 : If at any time during the application of the procedure set our in this BL 9.6.3.2, the number of tied teams is reduced to two (2), then BL 9.6.3.1 shall be used to determine which of the two (2) remaining teams is placed higher.
BL 9.6.3.2.3 : "The comparison shall be made upon first, the points of the games among them, next the goal difference, and next, based upon goals scored."
With ties remaining in head to head competitions and 4 or more teams in a bracket, there is the possibility for two teams to be tied and the next two teams to be tied. We need to break the higher tie first, by comparing EACH of those to BOTH of the next two tied teams, first in goal differential, if tied then total goals scored, if tied then least goals allowed.
THEN once the top tie is broken we EACH of the lower tied teams to the top team ONLY, , first in goal differential, if tied then total goals scored, if tied then least goals allowed.
