How Seeding is Determined in the Event of Ties
When teams finish with the same record, we follow a clear process to determine seeding:
Head-to-Head Matchups
If the tied teams have played each other during the season, the winner of that head-to-head game will receive the higher seed.
Strength of Schedule
If the teams did not play each other, or if there’s a multi-team tie, we review each team’s full schedule to see who faced the toughest opponents.
We look at the records of the teams each one played to calculate strength of schedule. The team with the stronger schedule receives the higher seed.
Important:
We do not use total points scored or points allowed when determining seeding.
Standings alone are not used to break ties.
Our goal is to reward teams based on head-to-head results first, and then on the difficulty of their season, not on point differentials. |
