MLS would by +1 at the moment (beating St John by more than 17, but then losing to Northstar by 16...36-20 was the score I think). BC is 0 right now not having played both teams, and Northstar would be +16 with only playing MLS.
The St. John game wouldn't be figured into the computations. Only the head to head games. And on the stats and standings page it has NS winning by 14 over MLS. So if it were to be a 3-way tie it would look like this as of today.
North Star +14
Benson County 0
MLS -14
If my math is right, this is the new point spread
NS- +14
BC- -2
MLS- -12
So, if BC wins out and beats NS by 8 or more points, this is how top 3 would look:
1. BC
2. NS
3. MLS
(BC would win point system, then because NS beat MLS heads up, NS would get 2nd and MLS 3rd)
If BC wins out and beats NS by 7 or less points, or wins out but loses to NS, top 3 would look like:
1. NS
2. MLS
3. BC
(Even though if BC beats NS and has less points than NS and more than MLS, they will still get 3rd, because one the top spot is decided, it goes to head to head, which would go to MLS)
So, even though BC lost, they have a better chance than MLS to win region. MLS has no chance at all, unless NS loses to someone they aren't suppose to and to BC as well.
