PB = Points behind 1st place

±4^th = Point gap relative to 4th place — home playoff advantage (positive = above, negative = below)

±8^th = Point gap relative to 8th place — playoff qualification (positive = above, negative = below)

Best / Worst = Best and worst possible finishing position based on remaining matches

Scenarios

What each club needs, and what it cannot control. Every claim here is a guarantee against any way the remaining fixtures could fall — not a prediction.

Points still needed, or clinched and eliminated status, for each club on each cutoff line.

Angel City FC	Out	Out	Out	In
Bay FC	Out	Out	In	In
Chicago Red Stars	Out	Out	In	In

A number is the points a club still needs to guarantee that line. In clinched, Out cannot reach it, If depends on a result elsewhere, — nothing guarantees it yet.
