The ISS 2026 Program advises that, in the event of teams being tied on test wins, nett matches will be used as a discriminator to determine final placings.
In 2026 WA, TAS and QLD all finished with 2 test wins.
WA were declared as finishing in third place by virtue of having the best nett match result (minus 6) of the 3 teams.
QLD (minus 9 nett matches) were declared as finishing in fourth place, and TAS (minus 10) in fifth place.
This differs from the order displayed on the Summary Table in Croquet Scores, which prioritises match wins rather than nett matches.
Final placings (to be used for the 2027 fixture) are: 1. VIC, 2. NSW, 3. WA, 4. QLD, 5. TAS, 6. SA.
