Elimination Round 'Game Points' format for Tykes and Peewee Divisions
This exciting format will promote everyone's involvement in the game. Both teams, win or lose, will be able to accumulate "GAME POINTS" by maximizing the number of players involvement in scoring.
5 points - awarded to the winner of the game
4 points - awarded to the team or teams (winner or loser) which has a minimum of nine players who scored at least one point or more
1 point - added for each player that has scored one point or more on top of the minimum 9 players and to a maximum of 15.
The maximum "GAME POINTS" per game for the winning team is FIFTEEN and for the losing team is TEN.
Example:
Team A won the game and 10 of their players socred at least one point.
Team B lost the game but all 15 players on the team scored at least a point.
Team A gets 5 points for the win, plus 4 points for the minimum 9 players that scored, plus 1 point for the tenth player that scored a point for a total of 10 game points.
Team B who lost the game gets 4 points for the minimum 9 players that scored a point, plus 1 point each for the tenth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth player that socred at least one point for a total of 10 game points.
Thus in this case the losing team get the same game points as the winning team because Team B got more involved in scoring.
Team standing is determined by the Total "Game Pints"
In case of a tie in Game Points, the following tie breaker rules to determine Team Standings apply in order:
a. No. of Wins
b. Head to Head
