If there remins equlity mong two or more tems, then these tems will e rnked ording to their respetive gol differene (whih mens gols for less gols ginst ). A positive gol differene lwys tkes preedene over negtive one. If there still remins equlity mong two or more tems, then these tems will e rnked ording to their respetive numer of gols for. Should there still remin equlity mong two tems, then the result of the mth plyed etween those tems will determine the rnking of the tied tems. If more thn two tems re involved, then rnking sed upon the results of the mthes mong (only) them shll determine their respetive position, sed upon the points wrded in ordne with prgrph 2.1 of this ppendix. If there remins Pge 23

If equlity remins then tems hving n equl numer of points shll e rnked ording to prgrphs 2.2.,, nd d s pplied to gols reorded during the shootout ompetition. If n equl position of three (or more) tems still remins therefter, then the sme proedure shll e repeted until the tems n e rnked.

The Umpires will toss oin with the ptins nd the winner will hve the hoie of ends or possession of the ll to re-strt the mth. Extr time will strt five (5) minutes fter the end of regultion time. Extr time will onsist of two periods of seven nd hlf (7½) minutes eh; in etween tems will hnge ends without n intervl. The extr-time will ese, one tem hs sored gol nd tht tem will e the winner of the mth. 3.8 If the sore is still drw t the end of the extr-time, shoot-out ompetition s speified in Appendix 3 will e plyed to estlish the winner of the mth.
