Seeds for Bracket Play
Teams will be seeded for bracket play based on their winning percentage (wins divided by games played) in pool play. A tie in a pool-play game counts as half of a win when computing winning percentage (i.e., a team with 2 wins and 1 tie in pool play would have a winning percentage of .833 after dividing 2.5 by 3). Ties for seeds will be broken as follows:
Tie Involving Three or More Teams:
- Goals allowed
- Goals scored
- Goal differential per game (capped at 5)
- Coin flip or hat pull
- Seeds will be determined individually and in order (i.e., the 4th seed will be determined using the criteria above, then the 5th seed using the criteria above, etc.) until only a two-team tie remains
Tie Involving Two Teams:
- Head-to-Head
- Goals allowed
- Goals scored
- Goal differential per game (capped at 5)
- Coin flip or hat pull
Roster Verification
