The standings explained

The standings over to the right are calculated using a standard formula found in sports.

((Win_a - Win_b) + (Loss_b - Loss_a)) * ½ to find out how many games behind one team is from the other.  “Games Behind” is used to determine how many games the trailing team has to win and the leading team has to lose before they have an equal record.

Win_a = Wins by leader

Loss_a = Losses by leader

Win_b = Wins by trailer

Loss_b = Losses by trailer

If you end up with a positive number, team A is ahead by that number of games.  

If it's not obvious which team trails, just sub in the numbers consistently and if you get a negative number, you know that team actually leads by that number of games.

To use our current standings, I5 has a 2-0 record while Galaxy Girls have a 2-1 record.

((2-2)+(1-0)) *1/2 = ½, meaning SDB is ½ game behind I5.  So what does THAT mean?  It means they have an unequal number of games played.  I5 would have to lose one game and SDB play no games before their record would be equal.

If you apply this formula across all 6 leagues with their current records, you end up with the standings as they appear on my chart. 

And what about the PF and PA fields?  That’s the tie breaker.  If two teams end up with an equal record, the difference between PF (Points For) and PA (Points against) decides who is in the lead.  Should that be equal at the end of the season AND their record be the same?  Then it falls to who beat whom in the regular season. 

If that game ended in a tie (a rarity, but a possibility) and their records be the same and their PF-PA differential be the same?  Then they are well and truly tied for ranking headed into Championships.   I would imagine they would have to do as in many other sports and play a tie breaker to determine the seeding.
