9. NJYB does not use standings when determining teams that advance to the Summer Sizzle Tournament. We use a point system.

   Teams are awarded 3 points for a win,  2 points for a tie and 1 point for a lose. In the event we have a team that ducks another team that team will have 3 points deducted  for game they did not play. The point system is put into place to ensure all teams that join the league play their games. Teams join a league to play games not to get aggravated and have to chase teams.
