The following procedure is to be used when, at the conclusion of each round of pool play, there is more than one team in the pool with the same win-loss record.

Ties in each round of pool play are decided independently using this procedure.

1. When two (2) teams tie for a position:
   
   The team which defeated the other is ranked higher
   
   
2. When three (3) teams tie for a position:
   
   
   1. If one of the three (3) teams is 2-0 in games against the other two (2) teams, that team is ranked higher.
   2. If the three (3) teams are 1-1 against each other:
      1. The tied teams are ranked based on the least number of runs allowed in pool games between the tied teams. If two of the teams are still tied on this basis, use situation I to rank those two (2) teams. If all three (3) teams are still tied, proceed to B.
      2. The tied teams are ranked based on the least number of runs allowed in all pool games.  If two (2) of the teams are still tied on this basis, use situation I to rank those two (2) teams. If all three (3) teams are still tied, proceed to C.
      3. The tied teams are ranked based on the most runs scored in pool games between the tied teams. If two (2) of the teams are still tied on this basis, use situation I to rank those two (2) teams. If all three (3) teams are still tied, proceed to D.
      4. The tied teams are ranked based on the most runs scored in all pool games. If two (2) of the teams are still tied on this basis, use situation I to rank those two (2) teams. If all three (3) teams are still tied, proceed to E.
      5. The tied teams are based on a random draw.
         
         EXAMPLE #1 -- When three (3) teams tie:
         

         Team A	2 wins	1 loss
         Team B	2 wins	1 loss
         Team C	2 wins	1 loss
         Team D	0 wins	3 losses

         Team A Results are:

         Teams	A	B
         A vs B	2	5
         A vs C	11	10
         A vs D	7	5

         Team B Results are:

         Teams	A	B
         B vs A	5	2
         B vs C	4	13
         B vs D	6	1

         Team C Results are:

         Teams	A	B
         C vs A	10	11
         C vs B	13	4
         C vs D	8	3

         Since teams A, B, C are tied for first place with two (2) wins and one (1) loss each, and are 1-1 against each other, and have allowed the same number of runs in games against each other, item B from above is used and least number of runs allowed in all pool games (including games with team D) are considered. Total runs in the appropriate games are:

         Team	Least Runs (Excluding team D)	Least Runs (Including team D)
         Team A	15	20
         Team B	15	16
         Team C	15	18

         The order of finish is Team B, Team C, Team A and Team D
