Team with the most Wins 2. Team with most points in games between the tied teams. 3. Team with fewest goals scored against 4. Team with most goals scored 5. A coin Toss However, in the event that teams tie for the final play-off spot, a single elimination game may be played at the home team that would have qualified if the formula had been followed, with the exception if Norman is involved in the tie, the formula will be used, due to financial and time constraints. Amended April 1997 This is contrary to what is under the standings, which will be changed, which likely was apart of the package that came with the program.
