PTS: PCAL Sports Rules — Field Hockey (Jan 2022) §1.7 (3 points for a win, 1 for a tie). GD bars are per division, scaled to PCAL’s biggest goal difference (95) · the heavier line under 2nd marks the automatic-berth line

† Includes 3 results from High School on SI (si.com) that MaxPreps does not have, counted under the site’s rules for missing or wrong scores (About → Sources).

Notes: PCAL

On Pacific Coast Athletic League’s official schedule for a date that has passed, with no counted result yet:
- Oct 6 Santa Catalina at Greenfield
- Oct 29 Salinas at Santa Catalina
MaxPreps is missing some of PCAL’s official league games and dates others differently, so its PCAL records differ from ours. This table is computed from PCAL’s official schedule.
Monterey: league record 6-6-0 here, 4-6-0 on MaxPreps. We publish our own computation.
Santa Catalina: league record 1-9-0 here, 0-8-0 on MaxPreps. We publish our own computation.
Greenfield: league record 0-11-0 here, 0-9-0 on MaxPreps. We publish our own computation.
1 league game was played but has no score yet, so it isn’t counted anywhere above.

Scheduled per PCAL.

Playoff picture

PTS: PCAL Sports Rules — Field Hockey (Jan 2022) §1.7 (3 points for a win, 1 for a tie). Ties: for 1st, head-to-head, then record against each lower-placed team, then the CCS-points step, then a coin flip or blind draw; for 2nd, head-to-head, then record against each higher-placed team, then record against each lower-placed team, then the CCS-points step, then a coin flip or blind draw; below 2nd, no tiebreak (PCAL By-laws (rev. May 2025) §23.3; PCAL By-laws (rev. May 2025) §23.3.1(b) / §23.3.3(c); PCAL By-laws (rev. May 2025) §23.3.3). How standings are computed

Teams have played between 10 and 12 of 12 league games, so points favour teams that have played more. LEFT is league games with no counted result yet — still to play, or played and not reported. MAX is the most points a team can finish with if it wins all of them (its final total once none are left). The order is points, as PCAL rules require.

How to read these tables

GD = league goals for minus goals against. Bars are scaled to the league’s biggest goal difference (95). A real 0 shows as 0; a score we do not have shows as an em dash. Forfeits count in the win-loss-tie record, not in the goal columns.

GP is league games counted of those scheduled. LEFT is league games with no counted result yet — still to play, or played and not reported. MAX is the most points a team can finish with if it wins all of them (its final total once none are left): a ceiling, not a projection.

The labelled line after 2nd place is the Automatic-berth line — PCAL Sports Rules — Field Hockey (Jan 2022) §1.8.1 (the top two of the final round-robin standings are automatic CCS qualifiers).

This order is our computation from published results, not a league ruling: the official tiebreak belongs to PCAL.
