1. Group/round-robin play in Preliminary Rounds
In any elimination game, overtime procedures will be the same as utilized in State Cup games. In group/round robin play, there will be no overtime games. Standings in a group will be determined as defined below. In no case, once a tie breaker has been used, will it be revisited if a team is eliminated. Points and tie-break criteria do not carryover to subsequent group play rounds.
A. First: game points: 3 points for a Win
1 point for a Tie
0 points for a Loss
B. Second as follows:
1) Head-to-head competition (not used if 3 or more teams are tied on points); if no clear
winner, then
2) Net Goal Differential (NGD) calculated as goals scored minus goals allowed, with a
maximum NGD of +/- four (4) per game; if no clear winner, then
3) Most Goals scored, maximum of four (4) goals counted per game; if no clear winner,
then
4) Least Goals against (no limit to number of goals allowed); if no clear winner, then
5) Penalty kicks in accordance with FIFA “Taking of Kicks from the Penalty Mark”
C. If three or more teams are still tied, then:
1) In the event three (3) teams are tied at the end of group play and are tied through all the
above tie breakers, the Site Director will hold a random draw with the 1st team drawn
sitting out. The other two teams will then take kicks from the mark to establish a winner.
The winner of this will then play the team sitting out, (kicks from the mark) and the
winner will advance. If a 2nd team advances from this group, PK’s will be taken by the 2
teams that lost their kicks from the mark pairing, to determine the next team to advance.
2) In the event that four (4) teams tie at the end of group play, the site director will hold a
random draw with the first team drawn playing the second team drawn, (kicks from the
mark) The third and fourth teams will also take kicks from the mark. The two winners will
then take kicks from the mark with the winning team advancing. If a 2nd team advances,
the losing team in this pairing will be the next advancer.
Nothing here about PPG
