In short though. Qualifying Points (QP) are the first factors. You get 2 QP for a win, 1 for a tie, and 0 for a loss. If teams have the same QP, then they are ranked based on Ranking Points (RP), which is the average losers score of their matches. If they are still tied it is based on their highest score. If still tied, it is decided by electronic coin flip.

I agree with this exactly but I was led to believe that for RP if you won you got the loser's score without penalty averaged in, but if you lost you got the loser's score (your's) with penalties averaged in. I have not seen this in print though.
