The TIE

Owing to some of the results of this week's matches, it appears that the tie between KCU and Saltopus may have some impact after all on the Group C standings. And I can't hold them accountable since I didn't get the Cup Rules instructions off in time. So I'm trying to think of a method of awarding the points if they ultimately need to be awarded.

There are a few options available:

1) Even things out a bit by having Ratz and System play their final match under normal--that way every team in the group would at least have played one match under the possibility of a tie result. If we did so, then there would be no adjustment necessary

2) Award the additional 2 points based on record and/or goal differential for KCU and Saltopus for the rest of the season. Whoever finishes higher in the standings gets the additional two points.

3) Make their series, for all intents, a two-legged event. Six points would be awarded to the team with the higher aggregate score in both matches. Incidentally, if we did this I would recommend that we play the return leg as normal as well and allow for away goals as the tiebreaker in order to give Saltopus the benefit of his two road goals.

I'd like to get feedback from everyone in the group if at all possible, since they are most directly affected. Also, any other opinions are welcome.
