The Supporters' Shield Race - August 5

2013 MLS Supporters' Shield

With ten games remaining in the 2013 MLS regular season, the Colorado Rapids - and just about every other team - are right in the thick of things in the race for the MLS Supporters' Shield, which recognizes the team that finishes with the best overall record.


Colorado has four home games left: Vancouver (August 17), FC Dallas (Sept. 14), Seattle (Oct. 5), and Vancouver again (Oct. 19).


The Rapids' six remaining road games are: Chivas USA (Aug. 11), Sporting KC (Aug. 31), LA Galaxy (Sept. 7), Portland (Sept. 20), San Jose (Oct. 9), and Vancouver (Oct. 27).


Reminder: the top five teams in each Conference will make the MLS Cup Playoffs.
Here's a look at the Supporters' Shield standings as of Monday, August 5, 2013:

When are the standings updated?
- At the start of any game.
- When a goal is scored in any game.
- At the end of any game.
- When a team’s Disciplinary Point total is updated.


How does updating work?
- At the start of a game, each team in the game receives 1 Games Played (GP).
- If the score of a game in progress is tied, both teams in that game receive 1 Point (PTS).
- If a team is winning in a game in progress, the team in the lead receives 3 Points (PTS) and the other team receives 0 Points (PTS).
- Other match statistics (Goals, Goals Against, etc.) are updated in real-time.
