Teams are in order by Match Points followed by tie breaks which are Modified Median, Solkoff, and Game Points. The Modified Median used here is the one invented by Andy Nowak and defined as dropping the score of lowest opponent and adding the remaining scores. (The Modified Median as defined by the USCF was developed later and does not apply.) Please refer to this explanation of tie breaks to understand how unplayed rounds, for both the team not playing and their opponents, are handled.

H - In the opponent's position indicates a House Team.
