Ladder Sorting Options

• Total Competition Points: the accumulation of ladder points and bonus points, where the team with the highest total competition points is at the top.  
• Points Difference: the team with the biggest positive difference will be at the top of the ladder, while the team with the biggest negative difference will be at the bottom of the ladder. Points difference is calculated by points for minus points against. 
• Head-to-head: if two teams are on the same total match points, we differentiate them by adding the team that won in the head-to-head match to the top and the team that lost as second. If multiple matches were played between the two, then who won the most will be at the top. If this is equal then the ladder moves to next differentiator. 
• Points For: the sum of points the team has scored.  
• Points Against: the sum of points the team has had scored against them. 
• Matches Played: the team who has played the most number of matches. 
• Matches Won: the team who has most number of wins. 
• Matches Lost: the team will the least number of losses will appear above another team with more losses in the ladder. 
• Matches Drawn: the team who has the most number of draws. 
• Byes: the number with the most byes is rewarded in the ladder. 
• Bonus Point (Total): the team with the highest number of bonus points. 
• Bonus Points (4T): the team with the highest number of bonus points received by scoring 4 or more tries in their matches. 
• Bonus Points (+3T): the team with the highest number of bonus points received by scoring more than 3 tries against their opponent in their matches. 
• Bonus Points (-7P): the team with the highest number of bonus points received by losing their games by 7 points or less. 
• Total Tries: the ladder will reward the team who has scored the most tries. 
• Try Difference: best difference between tries scored for and tries scored against.
• Score Ratio: calculated on ((Points For/Points Against) x 100)
• Points Ratio: calculated on ((Ladder Points/Played) x 100), where 'Played' includes all matches.

• Number of Forfeits: the difference in the team that has the most forfeit (win) matches and forfeit (loss) matches.
