TIEBREAKER A - If two (2) teams are tied, seeding shall be determined in the following order:

1. Head-to-Head Competition;
2. Most Wins during round robin play;
3. Goal Differential is calculated by subtracting a team’s goals against from its goals for. The team with the higher number advances. For purposes of calculating a team’s Goal Differential, the maximum goal differential a team can take for any one game is six (6) goals;
4. Scoring Quotient; calculated by dividing a team's goals for by the sum of its goals for plus goals against. For purposes of calculating the scoring quotient, the maximum goal differential a team can take for any one game is six (6) goals, arrived at by reducing goals for and counting all goals against;

Example: Team A: 15 GF 7 GA Quotient is 15/22= .681

                 Team B: 14 GF 6 GA Quotient is 14/20= .700

                 Team B advances.

1. Fewest Goals Against
