b) should the previous game be a draw, the team with the highest number of points scored in that specific game will determine the placing

c) if teams are still level a playoff match will be played.

 

2. Where 3 teams are level the placing will be determined as follows:

a) 3 teams go into a hat, first out will get a bye and the other two teams will compete in a playoff game.
