Determining Positions Clause Samples

Determining Positions for Finals Series The team finishing higher on the ladder will determine positions for the final series. If teams are equal on points at the completion of the rounds the following measures will be used to decide the higher team. 1st DIFFERENCES The difference is determined by subtracting the total of tries scored ‘against’ from the amount of tries scored ‘for’. The team with the higher difference will obtain the higher position. EXAMPLE: Team A scores 50 for and 10 against Team B scores 40 for and 10 against By subtracting the ‘against’ from the ‘for’, Team A would be ‘+40’, whilst Team B would be ‘+30’. Team A would therefore obtain the higher position. If teams have the same ‘difference’ the percentage system would then apply. 2nd PERCENTAGES If this system is used, it is easily explained that if the difference is in the ‘plus’ situation, the team with the least amount of tries scored against them would obtain the higher position. However, if the ‘difference’ is in the ‘minus’ situation, the team who has scored the most tries (for) would obtain the higher position. The percentage system is calculated by placing tries ‘for’ over tries ‘against’ and multiplying by 100 over 1. EXAMPLE: Team A = 50 x 100 = 500% Team B = 60 x 100 = 300% 10 1 20 1 Team A would obtain the higher position. If the above systems are unable to decide the outcome, the ROUND game result will be used. 3rd ROUND GAME The team winning the round game would obtain the higher position. If the teams had a draw in the round then ladder adjustments would be required. 4th LADDER ADJUSTMENTS The ladder will be adjusted in the following manner: Results removed against the team in the last position, then if the ladder is still equal Results removed against the team in second last position, then if the ladder is still equal Results removed against each opposition within the ladder from lowest to highest position until a point of separation 5th DROP OFF If all of the above systems are unable to decide the outcome, the DROP OFF will be used. Cross Pool Determination For some events, teams may be split into uneven pools (IE pool A has 7 teams, pool B has 6 teams and pool C has 6 teams). The Points Per Average system may be used to determine which team(s) will be progressing to and within the Finals Series of the relevant tournament. Points Per Average (Points Per Average is determined by the total competition points accrued divided by amount of games played); then Differences and Percentages; then La...
