Indy Invitational Rules

Rules


Ranking Logic

  • Tournament rankings during "regular season" (non-championship matches) are primarily ordered by the League Points, averaged per match to ensure fairness in case teams play unequal numbers of matches. A forfeit counts as a loss for the forfeiting team, and a win for the other. If needed, tie-breakers are used to determine rankings as described below.
  • The 1st and 2nd ranked teams will enter the Championship match. If a division has a second Championship match, the 3rd and 4th ranked teams are entered. The winner of the championship will be #1 in the final rankings, and the loser #2. If there is a second Championship match, the winner and loser will be ranked #3 and #4 respectively.
  • Ranking rules:
    1. Average League Points

      A team is awarded 3 League Points for a win, 1 League Point for a draw, and zero points for a loss.

    2. Average Scoring Differential

      If teams have equal average League Points, the Average Scoring differential is used as the first tie-breaker. The Average Scoring differential is calculated as a team's total score per match minus their opponents' total scores per match. Cancelled and forfeited matches are not used in the calculation.

    3. Average Total Score

      If necessary, score per match is used as the next tie breaker. Cancelled and forfeited matches are not used in the calculation.

    4. Average Total Allowed Score

      If necessary, allowed score per match is used as the final tie-breaker. Cancelled and forfeited matches are not used in the calculation.

    5. Coin toss

      If a tie remains after all tie-breakers have been calculated, the decision is made by coin toss.
