- If both teams have allowed the same number of runs, the team with the most net runs (runs scored minus runs allowed) will advance.
- If teams remain tied after consideration of “a” and “b” the team that scored the most runs in their games will advance.

- The least number of runs allowed by a team in all games played will advance that team as champion. If a second place team is required revert back to number 1.
- When all three teams have allowed the same number of runs, the team with the most net runs (runs scored minus runs allowed) will advance. If a second place team is required revert back to number 1.
- If teams remain tied after consideration of “a” and “b” the team that scored the most runs in their games will advance. If a second place team is required revert back to number 1.
