This post is a copy of a post made last month under the "current standings" string.

Just thought I'd refresh everyone's memory so there's no confusion.

Tie breakers will be determined as follows:

1. Head to Head record. The team with the better had to head record will be the higher seed.

2. If both teams split the head to head: than the higher seed will be determined by the total point differential (pts for-pts against) over the entire season. (ex: team 1 and team 2 split the regular season wins, and team 1 has a +20 pt. differential and team 2 has a +10 point differential over the entire seasons scores than team 1 has the higher seed.)

3. Two or more teams tied: If two or more teams are tied and there is NOT ONE OF THESE TEAMS WHO DEFINATIVELY BEATS THE TWO OTHERS IN ALL CONTESTS then the higher seed will be determined by taking the overall pt differential from the entire season.
Thus the highest point differential (pts for - pts against) will be the 1st seed, the second highest point differential will be the second seed, and so on.

4. If there is a tie between two teams point differential: The tie breaker will be determined by the point differentials of the games those two teams played against each other.
(ex: Game 1 - Team A: 21 Team B: 28 and Game 2 Team B: 10 Team A: 14 thus giving Team A a pt differential of -3 and team B a point differential of +3. Thus team B wins the tie breaker.

5. If both teams are still tied after the 4th tie breaker than the team with the most points scored ("points for")over the entire season will win the tie breaker.

6. If both teams are still tied after the 5th tie breaker, we're all screwed, fighting will erupt, the server for the website will go down and we will all be killing each other. So to end the madness there will be a coin flip in a public place with all involved as witnesses (you must call it in the air and it will fall to the ground). This will be done only once...no two out of three, no best of 5. THATS IT!
