Standings Tiebreakers The initial determining factor for a team's position in the standings is most points earned, with three points earned for a win, one point for a draw, and zero points for a loss. If two or more teams tie in total points total when determining rank, playoff qualification, and seeding, the NWSL uses the following tiebreaker criteria, going down the list until all teams are ranked. • Greater goal difference across the entire regular season (against all teams, not just tied teams). • Most total wins across the entire regular season (against all teams, not just tied teams). • Most goals scored across the entire regular season (against all teams, not just tied teams). • Head-to-head results (total points) between the tied teams. • Head-to-head most goals scored between the tied teams. • Fewest disciplinary points accumulated across the entire regular season (against all teams, not just tied teams). • Coin flip (if two teams are tied) or drawing of lots (if three or more teams are tied).
