Shield Clinched Shield Semi Home semi-final Home Home playoff advantage Playoff Playoff qualification Semi Eliminated from that line Out Eliminated

PB = Points behind 1st place

±2^nd = Point gap relative to 2nd place — home semi-final (positive = above, negative = below)

±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.

The Shield

Bay FC cannot reach the Shield.

Home semi-final

Bay FC cannot reach Home semi-final.

Home playoff advantage

Bay FC cannot reach Home playoff advantage.

Playoff qualification

Bay FC cannot reach Playoff qualification.

Avoiding last place

Safety from last place is still in Bay FC's own hands — they need 4 points from their last 4 to guarantee it. Their current points are already enough to keep it possible.

Level on points

Bay FC can finish level on points with any of these clubs across this cutoff. Then goal difference decides, followed by wins, goals scored and head-to-head results.
