Shield Clinched Shield Home Home playoff advantage Playoff Playoff qualification Home Eliminated from that line Out Eliminated

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.

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.
