  • 3 points for a victory
  • 1 point bonus for the losing team if the margin is less than 12
  • If two teams have equal points then the separation factor is the point difference. If a team has a greater point difference they rank higher on the table. If still tied then head-to-head matches will be the tie-breaker.
