C.1153. Six soccer teams are in a league. (Every team has to play against every other team.) The season is not over yet, and the diagram below shows the games played already, and their outcomes. (An arrow points from the winner to the loser of that game. A dot on a line indicates a tie.) A team gets 3 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, and 0 points for a loss. Teams with the same number of points finish in the same place.
