Dual tie breaker criteria is as follows:

1)  Head to head competition (dual win not individual matches)

2)  Total team points scored in dual competitions

3)  Total team points scored against the team in dual competitions

Each time the tie is broken the next tie is broken by starting at the head to head again.

Examples:

In the event of a 3-way (or greater) tie in a Round Robin (ex. Team A wins over Team B, B wins over C, C wins over A). Here is how the criteria will break the tie.

Total Points for Teams in all Duals in the Round Robin. If this breaks the tie, the other Dual is broken by the Head to Head matchup.

Example 1:

Team A – 175 points for

Team B – 150 points for

Team C – 200 points for

Team C wins, then B and C are decided by Head to Head matchup.

Example 2:

If 2 teams are tied for the most overall points, it then goes to least points giving up in all Duals

Team A – 200 points for, 75 points against

Team B – 150 points for, 50 points against

Team C – 200 points for, 85 points against

Team B wins, for giving up the least amount of points and A and C are decided by Head to Head match up. 

All teams will receive 2 coaching passes. A coaching band is required to coach in the corner. You must read our coach's conduct waiver and sign off on it. If you need more than 2 coaching passes you can purchase a coach's pass for $15.
