Teams are seeded in the Mayor's Cup brackets according to their place of finish in our Region's league standings (see below for final standings). League standings are determined as follows: the winner of each flight will be a top seed, subject to the Average Points and tie-breakers listed below. (For example if there are two flights, the winners of each flight will be seeds #1 and seed #2. In the case of only one flight, this is not applicable.) After that, teams are seeded by by each team's Average Points. Average Points are calculated as: game points earned for wins and draws, plus referee points, less any subtracted points for violations of the Region's sportsmanship policies, all divided by the number of games. When teams have the same amount of average points, the following tie breakers are used:
1. Head-to-head result, if applicable
2. Most referee points
3. Most regular season wins
4. Highest goal differential (max +/- 3 goals per game)
5. Goals against, based on max difference of 3 per game.
5. Coin flip or drawing of lots as determined by Regional Commissioner or designee
If more than two teams are tied, the tie breakers will be used until one team is eliminated. The tie-breaker process will then begin again for the remaining teams.
