2026 Tournament Championship Format:
2026 Bracket Winner:
Teams will be awarded points during pool play based on the following system:
- Win = 3 points
- Tie = 1 point
- Loss = 0 points
The team with the highest point total in their pool will move on to the playoffs. If, at the end of the pool play, there is a tie in total points, the pool winner will be determined in the following manner:
- A head to head comparison of the tied teams. The winner, in head to head competition, advances (If three teams are tied, move to next tie breaker)
- A comparison of total wins by team. The team with the most wins advances.
- A comparison of goals allowed. The team with the fewest goals allowed advances.
- Coin Toss
*** In case of partial games played due to weather the following ADDITIONAL criteria will be used to determine a division championship:
- # Goals Allowed DIVIDED BY Average Time Played
