(def) Goal Differential

Goal Differential -- The difference between the teams' scores when a game is over is the "Goal Differential". This can be useful for breaking ties when determining team standings.

Team 1's goal differential is: (Team 1's Score) - (Team 2's Score)

Note that if Team 1 lost, its "Goal Differential" will be negative.

To avoid unusual game situations (such as when one team is at a disadvantage due to missing a player, or field conditions) from affecting the overall "Goal Differential Total", the maximum number of points added or subtracted for each game can be specified as the "Max Per Game".
