NOTICES
Here are the tie-breaker rules:
Tie Breakers
If two or more teams are tied in the standings at the end of the regular season, tie breaks will use the following formula to determine playoff seeding:
- Head-to-head. The team with the greater number of wins against their opponent is the higher seed.
- Run differential in head-to-head matchups. The team with the better run differential is the higher seed.
- Run differential in league play.
- Coin Flip.
Multiple Team Tie breakers
If more than two teams are tied, the tie breaker will utilize the MLB rules for such an instance.
These tie breakers are descending, meaning one tie breaker then advances to the next tie-breaker, but only among teams that are still tied after tie-breaker one, two, etc. Once a team is designated a seed after any tie-breaker, that seed is final and they do not advance to the next tie-breaker.
- In a multiple team tie-breaker, the Clubs will be ranked by their overall winning percentage in games played amongst the other Clubs in the tie combined. The Club with the highest overall winning percentage in that group is the higher seed, followed by the team with the next highest overall winning percentage, etc. If multiple teams are still tied, the seeds will be determined by best winning percentage of games played only in that in that sub-group. If there is still a tie, the best run differential within that sub-group determines the seeds, followed by overall league run differential, then a coin flip.
