1. A win awards 3 points, a draw 1 point, and a loss 0 points.
2. At the end of the season, teams are ranked by total points.
3. If two or more teams finish with the same number of points, rankings are determined by the following criteria:
a) Goal difference
b) Total goals scored
c) Head-to-head results (head-to-head points, head-to-head goal difference, head-to-head goals scored)
d) A play-off at a neutral venue (only applicable when determining the league champion, European qualification, or relegation)
