To clarify the standings 2nd tiebreaker, H2H:

In the event of a 2 way tie, the team that defeated the other team in the regular season advances.

If a regular season tie occurred between the teams, the third tiebreaker will be used.


In the event 3 or more teams end the season with identical records, any team who is undefeated in the regular season against all tied opponents advances.

If no team is undefeated, or if the use of the undefeated team still leaves one playoff spot open, the 3rd tiebreaker will be used to seed all remaining spots.
