Tie breaker
« on: February 24, 2017, 12:23:19 am »
In the event of a 3 way tie, with the 3 teams all have beaten each other so there is no head to head winner, what is the tie breaker.
Building winners at the game of life and hoping to win a few football games in the process.

I believe in years past, that it was decided based on total points.

From the Rule book:


In the event three or more teams are tied with
identical records and no winner can be determined as stated previously, the
advancing team shall be determined by totaling the margin of points for each tied
team in all Conference games (or division games if two or more divisions). The
advancing team shall be the team with the greatest number of marginal points. Any
remaining playoff spots for the remaining tied teams shall be determined by the
winner over the other during—the regular season as above. The maximum number
of marginal points per game shall be eight points. No team shall add or sub- tract
more than eight points per game. The maximum number of marginal points for
any games that went into overtime shall be plus or minus one point.
