Determination
of Standings
Percentage (not points) will be
used to determine the standings in the event an unequal amount of games
are played.
Tie games will count as half a win for the purpose of calculating
percentage.
Points are determined as follows. Wins =
2 Points, Ties = 1 Point
Teams with an equal amount of points or the same percentage will be considered tied for a
position in the standings unless one of those teams has more wins. In that
instance the team with the most wins will be considered ahead in the
standings.
If teams still remain
tied then the following tie
breaking rules shall apply to the regular season standings. This shall
then be used for the purpose of determining the seed to be used for the
playoffs. The following tie breaking rules also apply when percentage is
used to determine the standings. Tiebreakers
are as follows
1 - Head to Head winner
2 - Record against common opponents
3 - Record against common opponents from top of the standings, one team at
a time
4 - Record against teams with a record of .500 or better
5 - Strength of schedule - based on total wins by all opposing teams
played
6 - Flip a coin
Note: in the instance of a
multiple team tie the tie breaker rules are applied until the first
winner or winners emerge. The tie breaker rules are then reapplied from
the top to the remaining tied teams. |
