11. Pool Tiebreakers: In case of a two-way pool play tie, the winner of the head-to-head

pool play games will be used to determine play-off seeding with no win garnering more
than 15 points allowed (15 point maximum per win) as well as no loss being counted as
more than 15 points in the negative. IF there is a tie of point differential: if two teams tie,
we move to head-to-head tie breaker.

tournament.
