TIE-BREAKER POLICY
The ‘Tie-Breaker Policy’ explains the steps taken for breaking ties in the regular season standings.
Two Teams
At the end of the regular season, if a tie exists between two teams in the division standings, the following steps will be used to break the tie:
Winning Percentage – The team with the higher winning percentage will be ranked higher.
Wins – The team with the higher total number of wins will be ranked higher.
Wins, Head-to-Head – The team with the greater number of wins in head-to-head games will be ranked higher.
Points, Head-to-Head – The team with the greater point differential (points for, less points against) in games played head-to-head will be ranked higher.
Points, Division – The team with the greater point differential (points for, less points against) in games vs. all division opponents will be ranked higher.
Coin-Toss – A coin toss will be use to decide who will be ranked higher.
Three or More Teams
At the end of the regular season, if a tie exists between three or more teams in the division standings, the following steps will be used to break the tie (if two teams remain tied after the third or other teams have been eliminated during any step, revert back to step 1 of the two team format):
Winning Percentage – The team with the higher winning percentage will be ranked higher.
Wins – The team with the higher total number of wins will be ranked higher.
Wins, Head-to-Head* – The team with the greater number of wins in head-to-head games will be ranked higher.
Points, Head-to-Head* – The team with the greater point differential (points for, less points against) in games played head-to-head will be ranked higher.
Points, Division – The team with the greater point differential (‘points for’ less ‘points against’) in games vs. all divisional opponents will be ranked higher.
Coin-Toss – A coin toss will be use to decide who will be ranked higher.
