  2. “Rule 8”: For Underage competitions and senior championship: In the event of two teams being equal on points at the end of a league or group stage of a competition, the winner of the head-to-head game will prevail. If the head-to-head game was a draw or if the two teams on equal points didn’t play a head-to-head game, then a play-off game must be played allowing 5 days between the play-off and the pending knockout round.
    Where 3 or 4 teams are equal on points at the end of a league or group stage of a competition, 2 rounds of play-off matches will be played allowing 5 days between the play-off and the pending knockout round to determine placings. This means playing two matches in one week. The fixtures committee will set these games. Clubs can opt to draw lots if they agree. All playoff matches require a result on the day. This competition rule is accepted as official notice of the play-off matches.
