Tie-breaking criteria
editMy mistake. You should correct the 'Rules for classification' under said table. My understanding was that the order was points, goal difference, then goals scored. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrisitizer (talk • contribs) 18:52, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
- I have just found the official tiebreakers from the USL website:
- 1) Head-to-head record based on total points in League games.*
- 2) Total wins in League games
- 3) Goal difference in League games.
- 4) Goals scored in League games.
- 5) Total points within smallest grouping. If number of games is unequal, then point percentage will be used.
- 6) Ranking based on points earned against top four group finishers. This tiebreaker will not be used if four or less teams comprise the group. If number of games is unequal, then point percentage applies.
- 7) Point percentage outside/smallest division or conference in League games
- 8) Total points in all regular season and Open Cup Qualifying games combined. If number of games is unequal, then point percentage applies.
- 9) FIFA Fair Play – Team with fewest disciplinary points in League games. (If number of games is unequal, points will be divided by games played to arrive at a common basis for comparison.)
- 10) Lottery conducted by USL at League office.
- Should more than two teams involved have played each other an UNEQUAL number of times, this tiebreaker will be skipped. -- comment added by Chrisitizer (talk • contribs) 18:52, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
