Here are the tie-breakers from the GHCLC bylaws. Because Crabs have beaten teams with a better record, they should be listed first.

Tie Breaking - End of season tie breaker procedures:
1. Record/Winning percentage
2. Head to Head
3. Total winning percentage of teams you have beaten
4. Total winning percentage of all your opponents
5. Total goals scored against
6. Coin Toss/Card Draw

Yes, those are "Tie Breaking-End of season tie breaker procedures". But during the season, it comes to most games won, least games lost, most goals scored, and least goals scored against. There are no ties when one team outscores and prevents the least scores another team with the same record.

So you think they should use a different methodology to break ties during the season than they do at the end of the season? That makes no sense. Maybe they scored more and gave up less because they played lower quality teams.

But regardless, who cares. They'll play each other eventually and maybe again in the playoffs. That's the best determinant anyway.
