Bracket one consists of seeds 1, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12.
Bracket two consists of seeds 2, 3, 5, 8, 10, 11.
SEASON TIEBREAKERS
These tiebreakers apply to the standings, playoffs, and seeding for the tournament. The tournament has its own tiebreakers
defined.
When comparing records among tied teams, the best won-lost-tied percentage is used. Tie games count as one-half win and
one-half loss.
If regular season games that would be counted in a head-to-head tiebreaker have not been played, then the tiebreaker is applied
only if the results of such games would not change the outcome of the tiebreaker. If, however, the results of such games could
change the outcome of a head-to-head tiebreaker, then skip the tiebreaker step and proceed to the next step.
Runs Allowed per Defensive Inning Ratio defined:
1. the total number of runs given up by that team in applicable games, divided by the number of half-innings played on defense
by that team in applicable games.
2. any part of a half-inning played on defense counts as a complete half-inning for the purposes of this tiebreaker.
3. games which are forfeit at any time before a game can be considered complete do not count in this tiebreaker.
4. games which are forfeit but are complete by regulation will count in this tiebreaker.
Tiebreaker 1. TIEBREAKER FOR 2 TEAMS:
1a: The team with the best head-to-head record advances.
1b: The team with the lowest Runs Allowed per Inning Ratio for the entire season advances.
1c: Flip a coin.
87. Tiebreaker 2. TIEBREAKER FOR 3 OR MORE TEAMS:
2a: The team with the best combined head-to-head record among tied teams advances. If 2 teams have the same best
combined head-to-head record, they advance and start at 1a. If 3+ teams have the same best combined head-to-head record,
eliminate all others and repeat 2a. If you have 3+ and can no longer eliminate teams, advance to 2b.
2b: The team with the lowest Runs Allowed per Inning Ratio for the entire season advances; remaining teams start over. If 2
teams have the same best ratio, they advance and start at 1a; remaining teams start over. If 3+ teams have the same best ratio,
eliminate all others and repeat 2a. If you have 3+ and can no longer eliminate tea
