Everyone had the same info handed out at the beginning, team pa should have brought a better d unit as goals allowed was the next tie breaker…. Give credit to team pa for being the only team that beat 91 but also give credit to 91, they won it all

PA had 7th fewest goals allowed in tourney and were in toughest bracket so that logic feeds in to why they should have been in. Only 2 from same division is not way to do it when they seed it by goals allowed. Would love to know what happened to them vs True makes zero sense. Beat Machine and 2Way very good teams.[/quote]

1st tiebreaker for divisions was record. That gave 1 & 2 seed to Eclipse and Team MA, netting them opposite sides of bracket and a 1st round bye as well.

2nd tiebreaker was “Pool Place”. Team Pa finished 3rd in pool play which did them in and eliminated them for Bracket selection when there were only 10 teams in bracket play.


In regards to the pool to determine place:
1st tiebreaker was head to head. But top 3 teams beat each other, PA beat Machine, Machine beat Annapolis, Annapolis beat PA. That creates a never ending circle so here comes the 2nd tiebreaker: GOALS ALLOWED. Machine allowed 14, Annapolis allowed 20 and PA allowed 21. PA was put in 3rd place in pool play because they let up 1 more goal than Annapolis. It was that close.
