ATLANTIC BABE RUTH SOFTBALL LEAGUE

Play-Off rankings will be determined by a weighted point system.  Each team in the 10u, 12u and 16u division that has played in a minimum of ten (10) regular season games will qualify for the play-offs.  It should be noted that the minimum games number will be adjusted accordingly if there have been an exuberant amount of canceled games due to weather.  If two teams compile the same number of points at the end of the year, their bracket positioning will be determined by the following criteria (in this order) head-to-head results, win record and total runs allowed for the season.  The winner and runner up teams from each bracket are awarded trophies.
 
Points will be awarded in the following manner:    
Win = 4 Points
Loss = 1 Point
Tie = 2 Points
Forfeits "Winning" team (non-forfeiting team) is awarded 4 points. The forfeiting team will lose 1 point from their total points regardless of when the forfeit was issued (either before or during a game). The non-forfeiting team will be awarded the # of runs by the # of innings in a complete game at that age group.
             
Applying forfeit points (for or against). Each teams total points will be manually adjusted at the end of-the-year to reflect any forfeits either for or against.  
 
It should therefore be noted that the point totals as they appear in the Standings section of this site are unofficial until the forfeit points (if applicable) are added and or subtracted at the end of the season.
