CCL Tournament Seeding

A tournament will be held in the final week of the season.

All rules from the regular season will be followed as well as the following for determining tournament seeding and play.

• The team awarded the highest position in the CCL standings will be the team with the greatest number of points (three points for a win, one point for a tie, and zero points for a loss).
• In the event that two or more teams finish the regular season with an equal number of points (or points per game), the following tiebreakers will be used.
  • Goal Differential (GD) (Goals For minus Goals Against)
  • Goals For (GF)
  • Goals Against (GA)
  • Winner of head-to-head competition (this criterion is not used if more than two teams are tied or if all teams did not play each other).
• Depending on the number of teams in a division, the top-seeded team may end up with a bye for the first round.
• The remaining matchups will feature the higher-seeded teams against the lower-seeded teams.
