Points will be awarded in all Collegiate Division 1 matches on the following basis. 

• Win – 4 points
• Draw – 2 points
• Loss – 1 point for loss within 7 points or less of the team that wins
• Loss – 0 points for loss of more than 7 points.
• 1 point for scoring 4 tries or more in a match

Note: When a team scores four tries in any game they are awarded a bonus point. 

It doesn’t matter if they don’t win the game – they just have to score 4 tries to get an extra point. 

Also, if a team loses by seven points or less they also receive a bonus point. 

This means then that the maximum points a winning team can score in any one match is 5 (4 for the win plus 1 if they score 4 or more tries) 

The maximum points that a team can get if they draw is 3 (2 for the draw plus 1 point if they score 4 tries or more). It is possible for 2 teams to draw and yet receive a different number of points for the game. For example, team A and B might draw, but team A scored 4 tries while team B only scored 3. In this scenario team A would receive 3 points, and team B would only receive 2. 

The maximum number of points a losing team can receive is 2, and that would occur if the team scored 4 tries or more, and got within the 7 point margin. 

In the event that two teams are tied on points at the end of the year, the SCRFU tie breaker procedure as currently outlined in our policies and procedures will be adopted.
