BREAKING TIES
During the regular season, to break a game tie, the owners can either settle it with a knife fight
or use the Reserve Roster Rules, which ever is agreed upon by both teams. Using Reserve Roster Rules,
the highest scoring player from each bench is used. If they tie, it goes to the second highest on each
bench, on so on. If still a tie, the knife fight will be the only way the game won't be scored a tie.
During the playoffs, Reserve Roster Rules are automatically in effect. If still a tie, the only way to
break the tie is two 3-minute rounds of bare-knuckle boxing, a one-on-one downhill mountain bike race, or
Playoff Tie Rules, which ever is agreed upon by both teams. Using Playoff Tie Rules, the two players with
the most cumulative points on each team will have their total points used to break the tie. If still a tie,
top 3 players, then 4, and so on.
In either case, alternate player's points are used only to break ties and do not count towards the total
points.
The tie breakers for the regular season standings go in the following order:
1. Record vs opponent.
2. Divisional record.
3. Total points.
4. Coin flip or what ever game of random chance both owners agree to.
In case there is a three way tie and no one team has the tie-breaker over
the other two, The following complicated formula will be used to break the
tie: (each team means each team that is involved in the tie)
6*(Each team you've beaten head to head)
+ 3*(Each team you split with)
+ 4*(Each team that you have a better division record than)
+ 2*(Each team that you have the same division record as)
+ (Total Points / 100)
