| hey kirk, i just had a question on the ranking system since we are getting close to the playoffs. the rules state: 1. In order to determine division championships and playoff seedings, the following tiebreaker system will be used: 1.) Best W/L Record, 2.) Head to Head Competition, 2a.) Best Division Record, 3.) Most Points Scored All Games, 4.) Best Net Points Head to Head, 4a.) Best Net Points Division Games, 5.) Least Points Allowed All Games, 6.) Coin Flip. i just wanted to verify a possible seeding based on an example.. team A---overall 10-3, one loss to team B, and division record 4-2 team B---overall 10-3, one win vs team A, and division record 3-3 out of these two teams; which would have the higher seed heading into the playoffs? it would seem to me, that there would be too much chance involved in the seeding based on one head-to-head game. saying that... in my opinion one game should not take precedence over 6 division games. i hate posting this for everyone to see, but i just want to know what to expect come playoff time. |

| hey Sac... rest of the rule clarifies that... division record only relevant as tiebreaker between two teams tied for division and then only if they split their 2 games head to head... IF in your scenario, Team A & Team B are in different divisions and its seeding only whether 2nd or 3rd seed for example, Team B would be higher seed by virtue of the head to head win 2. Division statistics (2a,4a) are used to resolve division ties only. Playoff seedings WILL NOT consider these values. With playoff seedings, once the division winners have been seeded, all other teams will be seeded based on overall record, head-to-head and then total points scored. In the event of a tie involving three or more teams, head-to-head can only be used as the tiebreaker if one team has a definitive advantage over the others (i.e. Team A defeated both Team B and Team C, therefore they earn the higher seed based on head-to-head.) If no definitive advantage can be derived for any one team (teams split season series, some teams involved in the tie did not play), the tiebreaker will automatically be decided using total points scored. |
