In the event of a three-way tie at the end of bracket play, the winner for advancement to the Final will be determined
as above without consideration for comparison of head-to-head competition to eliminate one team. If the teams are still
tied and FIFA Kicks have to be taken there will be a draw by the Tournament Committee. The first team drawn will
receive the bye; the next team drawn will be the home team against the remaining team in the first contest of penalty
kicks. The winner of the first contest will then compete against the bye team in penalty kicks to determine the group
winner. The bye team will be the home team.
