Soccer Playoff System:
We will have a 8 team playoff system and seeding will be determined by a point system. Teams will be awarded three points for a win and one point for a tie with league games only. The winning team is responsible for inputting their score to the website within 24 hours so we can all maintain records/standings. Try to put an emphasis completing all league games for playoff seeding purposes. If two teams are tied based on points then the tie breaker will be:
1) Total Points
2) Head to Head
3) Goals Against
4) Wins vs. Higher Seeds
5) Coin Flip
Seeding will be based on the below format and remain throughout the playoffs.
Quarters- 8 at 1, 7 at 2, 6 at 3 and 5 at 4.....
Semis- Winner of 8 v 1 plays winner of 5 v 4......Winner of 7 v 2 plays winner of 3 v 6...
Finals- Highest seed is host....
