D2 scores?

FCD Blue has to at least tie Sting Brown next weekend to keep their D1 bye. If they lose there will be a shoot out between them. I say this because I don't think either team will beat Solar Red & Feet still has to play DTS too which I think will result in a loss. I might be shocked by both teams pulling a last minute Hail Mary it will sure be an interesting remaining 2 games for both. I wish them both the best of luck.  

Correct me if I am wrong, which does happen time to time   
From what I can read in the LHGCL rules, it appears FCD Blue would win the tie breaker and a game/shootout would not be needed.

Section I.4:

"End of Season Tie Breakers: If two (2) or more teams are tied in the number of
points, the tie will be
broken as follows (except as stated in 6 below):
a.Winner of head to head competition.
b.Team with most number of wins.
c.Fewest goals allowed in season games.
d.Most goals scored in season games.
e.Goal differential (goals scored all season minus goals allowed all season. Team with highest differential wins higher position in standings. Maximum of 3 goals for or against allowed per game).
f.Best record against common opponents.
g.The team with the fewest yellow and/or red cards will finish in the higher
position. NOTE: Only points accumulated in LHGCL play (regular season) will be used for this calculation.
h.Elimination game(s) if time permits. Opponents determined by random draw if more than two teams are tied for one position."

I think if a bye is at stake, after points and H2H, it will go to a playoff.

You missed this rule:


6. Ties Between Teams to Determine a Bye:
For all ages, points earned in head-to-head play over the entire soccer year will apply. Playoff games will be played between any teams who cannot be eliminated in the head-to-head tiebreaker. The number of games and nature of the playoff will be determined by the LHGCL board. Playoff games must have a winner, i.e., if the game ends in a tie, two 10 minute overtimes will be played, then if still tied, FIFA kicks from the penalty mark will be taken to determine the winner.

Neither position is a very pleasant place to be. It would be interesting to see what percentage of teams finishing in either position stayed fully together. Both teams have several strong players that would make great additions to anyone's bench. Best of luck to all the girls.
