Tiebreakers:                  
 
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)

Playoff Tournament Tiebreakers - to determine winner of Bracket A (T1 / T14 / T15) should each team finish 1-1
1. Best record in round-robin
2. Run Differential (Run differential is calculated by subtracting runs allowed from runs scored. Best Run Differential will advance)
Example:  Team 1 (20 Runs Scored - 15 Runs Allowed = +5);  Team 14 (13 Runs Scored  - 17 Runs Allowed = -4);
  Team 15 (16 Runs Scored - 17 Runs Allowed = -1) = Team 1 advances 
   a. Should two of the three teams be tied for the best run differential; the third team is eliminated and Playoff head-to-head record determines winner
   b. If three teams are tied for run differential, then highest seeded team advances 
 
Playoff Tournament Tiebreakers - to determine winner of Brackets B / C / D
1. Best record in round-robin
2. Round-robin head-to-head
   a. If two teams are tied for the best record, the winner of that game wins the bracket (assuming all have played each other)
   b. 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 higher regular season seeding will win the bracket.
 
Seeding of teams for the Quarter-finals will be from 1-4 amongst all four bracket winners based on Regular Season seeding
 
Playoff Tournament Tiebreakers - to determine wild card teams - all brackets. 
1. Best record (winning percentage) in round-robin amongst non-bracket winners
   a. Teams that finished 2-1 advance and are placed in Quarter-finals based on end of regular season seeding until four wild card slots are filled.   
   b. If there are more than four 2-1 teams, the teams with the top four end of regular season seedings advance. 
   c. If there are less than four 2-1 teams and if the 1st seeded team does not win their bracket and finishes 1-1, that team is placed in Quarter-finals until wild card slots are filled.  
   d. If wild card slots are still not filled, then remaining teams that finished 1-2 are placed in Quarter-finals based on end of regular season seeding until wild card slots are filled.  
 
Seeding of teams for the Quarter-finals will be from 5-8 amongst the wild card teams based on Regular Season seeding 
 
Prioritization of field assignments for week #3 of the playoffs
1. Games that will determine winner of the bracket where at least one of the team needs to win to also make the playoffs
2. Games that will determine whether either team makes the playoffs as a wild card team
3. Games that will determine whether one of the teams makes the playoffs as a wild card team (the other team having already secured a playoff spot or been eliminated)
4. Games that will determine winner of the bracket where both teams have already made the playoffs (and thus outcome only affects seeding).
5. Games that may determine whether a team makes the playoffs (results are dependent on what happens with other games)
