Second Round Ranking Process

Each division, State, Premier, and Platinum, is divided into an upper division and a lower division. State and Premier will move to the State Division being the top division and the Premier division being the lower division. Platinum will be divided into Platinum A as the upper division and Platinum B will be the lower division.

Teams are ranked in the 2nd round based on the following criteria from the first round results:

1. Placement within your Flight (IE-1^st,2^nd,3^rd or 4^th)
2. Points, GD, GF and then Goals against.

1. 1. 1. 1^st and 2^nd place teams all move to the upper division.
      2. Lower 3^rd place and 4^th place teams move to the lower divisions.
      3. For wild card teams moving to the upper division, these would be the stronger 3^rd place teams.

Live Draw:

Teams are associated with a draw number.  NorFal will draw ping pong balls that has a coordinating number to the team.  We will draw all ping pong balls from Pot 1 firsts.  The first ball that is drawn will be in flight A, we will continue the process until all ping pong balls are drawn from Pot 1 creating the first team in Flight A,B, C ect.  We will then move to Pot 2 and do the same process. The same for Pot 3 and the same for Pot 4.  Teams that played each other in the first flight will not play each other in the 2^nd flight.

The live draw will occur on Tuesday, November 5th and will be posted on the NorCal state cup home page on Wednesday, November 6th.
