Whoever has the most points in the "W" (win) column, is in the lead in the standings.
Total game points are used as a tiebreaker. To see the rest of the tiebreak procedures click here.

Playoff Procedures:

The top four teams from each division qualify for the playoffs. Results are calculated by Total MATCH points.

In the Quarterfinals the first place in each division plays fourth place, and the second place in each division plays third place. The first place team gets draw odds and chooses colors while second place gets draw odds and third place chooses colors (in the rare case that second place feels color choice is the more valuable advantage, they can choose to take that and give third place draw odds).

The Quarterfinal winners from each division play in the Semifinals. In the Semifinals, the higher seeded team gets draw odds, and the lower seeded team chooses colors ONLY if they are just one seed lower than the higher seed. Otherwise the higher seed gets draw odds and chooses colors. So first vs second has first getting draw odds, second choosing colors, but first vs third has first getting draw odds and choosing colors.

The Championship consists of the Semifinal winners. In the Championship the team with the better regular season record chooses colors, but neither team gets draw odds, and if the match ends up tied, it goes to a Blitz Tiebreaker.
