Points
The points system for a league or group stage is normally setup with the default settings:
- 3 points for a win
- 1 points for a draw
- 0 points for a loss
League Points can be adjusted by us if necessary.
Win and loss bonus points can also be catered for.
Ranking
The league or group ranking in Competition Microsites and sport portals is calculated automatically.
The ranking is based on the following standard system and this cannot be changed:
- If equal league or group points then greatest Goals or Points Difference (GD/PD) This identifies the team scoring the most and conceding the least, in other words the best team in attack and defence;
- If equal GD/PD then greatest Goals For or Points For (GD/PF). This identifies the best attacking team;
- If equal GD/PF then a local rule can be applied, such as coin toss or a penalty shoot-out etc.
Things to consider
A common misconception is to use the result of any two teams tied in the same position in a league table to decide which team is best, particularly the top two teams if they are tied on league points. This is not strictly correct, as this result has already been taken into account when deciding the league points.
