Tie-Breaker Rule

Post by sixofdiamonds »

TIEBREAKERS: In the event of a 2-way tie in the final standings, head to head play will be the 1st tiebreaker. If head to head play is a split, seasonal runs-against will be used as the 2nd tiebreaker with head to head runs-against as the 3rd tiebreaker. In the event of a 3 or more way tie in the final standings, head to head will be the 1st tiebreaker. If a clear-cut result cannot be obtained using head to head, as In the case of teams beating one another (Team A beat Team B, Team B beat Team C, and Team C beat Team A), seasonal runs against will be used. If seasonal runs against are the same, head to head play is the 2nd tiebreaker. If the listed tiebreakers fail to produce clear results, a coin toss or reasonable facsimile will take place.

The runs-against total for teams involved in forfeits is to be adjusted upward to compensate for the automatic 7-0 score awarded to forfeited games. League statisticians will take the average of all non-forfeited games and assign that average to each forfeited game. As an example; a 5-3 team has a runs-against total of 60. In 2 of their games they were involved in a forfeit. The runs-against total of 60 is to be divided by the 6 non-forfeited games for an actual average of 10 runs-against per game. The average of 10 runs-against per game is assigned to each forfeited game and the adjusted runs-against total shall become 80.
