BigSqwert Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 As commissioner of an MFL league I need to set the playoff seeds for next week. I have 3 teams tied for the last seed. Tie breakers are set up as head-to-head, then overall division records, then total points. Who's the #6 seed from these 3 teams? (Note: Seeding is best overall 6 teams regardless of divisions) Team A: Beat Team B two times and never played Team C. Division record of 4-6 and has 1263.38 total points Team B: Two losses vs Team A and beat Team C one time. Division record of 4-6 and has 1101.82 points Team C: Never played Team A and lost to Team B once. Division record of 5-5 and has 1299.38 points. GAHHH!!!! Help me rank these teams before I have a mutiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help me rank these teams before I have a mutiny. If the 1st tie-breaker is head-to-head, can you just count it as three-way head-to-head? Team A is 2-0, Team B is 1-2, Team C is 0-1. Team A advances. It kinda sucks cause they havent played each other the same amount of time, but head-to-head is the first tiebreaker, so you have to use it somehow.

Team C would say "Team A never beat me head-to-head so how do they advance over me?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) I'm thinking it's C, A, then B. H2H between C and A doesn't count so you go to the next tie breaker which is division record. Edited December 8, 2009 by BigSqwert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, guess I didnt think about C not playing A and how thats not truly head-to-head. Then I think you are right going C, A, B, using the next tiebreaker, division record.

dasox24 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I think C definitely before the rest. Best division record of the 3, but more importantly, they have the most total points of the 3 teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkBomber Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I think this was a question on my ACTs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkBomber Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Three or More Clubs (Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated during any step, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of the two-club format). 1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games among the clubs). http://www.secsports.com/news/default.aspx?ArticleId=141 B. THREE (OR MORE) TEAM TIE 1. (Once the tie has been reduced to two teams, go to the two-team tie-breaker format.) 2. Combined head-to-head record among the tied teams.
