Seems like a good time to pose the question. How does the tiebreaker thing work? My assumption is record.... head to head.....points for....?
Can someone clarify whenever its convenient?

From the constitution:
12.6 Ties in the final league standings will be broken as follows:
12.6.1 The win-loss record in head to head competition.
12.6.2 If a tie remains, the difference of points for and against in head to head competition.
12.6.3 If a tie remains, the difference of points for and against in all regular season play.
12.6.4 If a tie remains, the toss of a coin.

There is a distinct possibility in Division 4 that as many as four teams will be tied with a 12-6 record. How will the final standings be determined in this situation ?

If a team finishes 11-7 and the other team finishes 10-6-2, and
10-6-2 won the season series (played only one head to head) you're
trying to say that the 10-6-2 wins the tiebreaker? It should be
whoever had the more victories in the tiebreaker should win the
tiebreaker...........if they have identical records, then the first
tiebreaker should be head to head.....
that first rule of the constitution applys if we're playing NFL
style standings where only won-loss records count. But since
we're using the points system the way the NHL and World Cup Soccer
does, the first tiebreaker should be total wins, then head to head
btw, in the NFL, if four teams finished 12-6 in the same
conference, the first tiebreaker would be whoever had the best
conference record would get ranked the highest.......the question
is, have these four potential 12-6 teams played each other
the same number of times?......it wouldn't seem fair if one of the
teams played each of the other three teams once (or twice) and one
of the other teams didn't play one of the two other teams even once....
A scenario could be drawn out with head to head records as follows:
Team A 2-0
Team B 1-0
Team C 0-1
Team D 0-2
Team A would get the highest seed based on number of games? So the constitution would have to be followed even though A and B have
the same winning percentages
Hopefully they all would have met at least once and the records
might look like this:
Team A 2-1
Team B 2-1
Team C 1-2
Team D 1-2
Then whoever won Team A/B head to head would get top seed (2nd) followed by
head to head of Team C/D (who would get third and fourth seed)

Is this the New team Div meant for rec play?
Pay the full fee and we'll talk. You all make the play-offs for christ sake. What's the big deal.

So let me get this straight.
Laping_baby says the tie break is settled by word from the Mighty Hercules and Newton the half-boy, half-horse or possibably football playing Amazons (Αμαζόνες) ???
is this by duel or coin toss ???

obviously its not new team div he's talking about. just look at the prospective records. they are all of an 18 game season. new team only plays a 14 game season. you're talking smack to a guy asking a question or attempting to post a viable solution and you cant even determine that much?

Yup goodpoint Snatch. My bad.
No need for viable solutions? when the league has been doin this stuff for 34 years. The con should cover this situation shouldn't it? Like Ed said...it's all there

I can't believe this forum continues, how more straight forward can the rules be???
Sure the 11-7 team has more wins than the 10-6-2 team, but they also have more losses.
Its fine the way it is....move on, there has to be something more exciting to post about,
like the upcoming playoffs.
