Playoff Tournament Tiebreakers
(Playoff Seeding will be completed prior to Playoff Week 1, Playoff Week 5, and Playoff Week 6)


End of Regular Season Seeding Tiebreakers
  • Tiebreaker 1 - Overall Record
  • Tiebreaker 2 - Head-to-Head
  • Tiebreaker 3 - Division Record
  • Tiebreaker 4 - Fewest Runs Allowed (Team Defense)
  • Tiebreaker 5 - Most Runs Scored (Team Offense)
  • Tiebreaker 6 - Coin Flip
Playoff Tournament Tiebreakers
  1. To determine winner of each bracket:

  2. a. Best record in round-robin
    b. Round-robin head-to-header
    c. If two teams are tied for the best record and have played each other in the round-robin, the winner of that game wins the bracket
    d. If more than two teams are tied at the end of the round-robin and one team has beaten all teams that it is tied with, that one team will win the bracket, otherwise the team with the best regular season record will win the bracket.

    Seeding of teams from 1-4 amongst the bracket winners will be by highest seed from end of regular season

  3. To determine wild card teams and seeding amongst them for quarter-finals:

  4. a. Best record in round-robin amongst non-bracket winners
    b. If two teams are tied with the same record in the same bracket, next tie breaker is head-to-head in the bracket
    c. If two or more teams are tied with the same record in different brackets, the tie-breakers are:
    1. Head-to-head in regular season (if each team played each other or if a team has beaten the other teams tied with)
    2. Runs allowed in playoffs
    3. Higher seed from end of regular season
    4. Once a team is eliminated through the tie-breaker process, start again until all slots are filled
