PLAYOFFS

SEEDINGS

• Playoffs are based on win/loss record.
• The number of teams to qualify for playoffs will vary from season to season based on the number of teams registered.
• To find out what time each seed will play, please check out our FAQ’s page.

TIEBREAKERS

• All teams tied in the standings will use the following tiebreakers, in order, to determine seeding:
  • Most regular season wins.
  • Head to head.
  • Least points allowed.
  • Most points scored.
  • Coin toss.

3-way tiebreakers:  When 3 or more teams are tied; all teams will be ranked on the same criteria as opposed to knocking a team out then returning to the top of the tiebreaker list.  Tiebreakers will be applied until all teams that are tied can be ranked using the same criteria.  If the teams did not play one another in an even amount of games then “head to head” will be skipped.
