The following are the rules for scoring and standings calculation for AYSO Region 5.

Note: Extra uses a different point scoring system that can be found on the matchtrak system.

GAME SCORING

1. Standing points shall be awarded as follows: 

1.1. (7) points for a Win 
1.2. (3) points for a Tie 
1.3. (0) points for a Loss 
1.4. (0) point for Shut-out 
1.5. (1) point for a goal (3 points maximum) 
1.6. A maximum of (10) points is possible in any one game 
1.7. A forfeit shall be scored as 1-0 (8 points) 
1.8. (1) points deduction for each Red Card (send off) received by a player/spectator and/or coach
