Teams will be awarded 3 points for a win, 1 point for a tie.

After the 3rd game round, both divisions will be combined and standings determined by total points.

** Upon penalties, in the case of a 3 or 4 way tie, shooters will take shots against each of the other team's goalkeepers until one team is eliminated. The remaining teams then proceed until the ties are resolved.

Each team will then play their “playoff” game as determined by their standings and indicated on the schedule.

If the FINAL is tied after regulation, the teams will play 2 x 15 minute halves, followed by FIFA penalties. If the Over-40 or other playoff games end in ties, the teams will play 2 x 5 minute halves, followed by FIFA penalties.
