·       2. Winners of games between tied teams (note: in order to use this criteria, all tied

teams must have played each other in the qualifying round and one team must have defeated

all the teams they are tied with to be ranked higher). The remaining teams then go to next criteria with no reverting back (meaning if still tied between 2 teams it is not head to head):
