Smokewagons 0 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 That sucks. I don't know why but I never pictured it being this complicated in the end. Should have known. Really all the kinks can be worked out with a good week 15. Win or risk going home Link to post Share on other sites
gilbertology 0 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 The way tiebreakers are determined are as such-Divisional tiebreakers are established in the rules.Wildcard tiebreakers are as follows:Do all divisional tiebreakers so only one team from each applicable division is left.Next tiebreaker is head to head. If there are more than 2 teams, one team has to have swept all of the other teams.Next tiebreaker is conference record.Next tiebreaker is record among common opponents.If multiple teams are still tied, a play in round will occur (HU for 2 teams, round robin for 3+ teams).I don't see any of the first two things you said explicitly stated by sleuthis or the league rules for wildcard tiebreakers."Do all divisional tiebreakers so only one team from each applicable division is left." - havent seen this anywhere and its possible that two teams from the same division with identical records will get both wildcards because the #1 tiebreaker is HU record against an opponent which has been clearly stated by sleuthis."Next tiebreaker is head to head. If there are more than 2 teams, one team has to have swept all of the other teams." - dont know where you got this sweeping all the other teams thing, all I know is head-to-head record is the first tiebreaker. If 3-5 teams are tied for a spot as may be the case its not probable that one will have played all the rest and gone undefeated.I haven't looked much at your conference but I was looking in regards to our conference, where 5 teams from 3 divisions may be tied for 2 wildcards. For example, if we lose and Degens wins then you're saying since Degens has a divisional record over us we get eliminated from a wildcard spot even though we have the head to head and conference record over the other potential contender at 8-7. i.e. this would happen if bayside won and crunch bunch and cigars lost.

pipes123 0 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Okay confusion has set in.How can Oh you call I call get in on the wildcard? Link to post Share on other sites
zimmer4141 0 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 So basically by my understanding, I have the 4 seed on lockdown unless I win and some of the 10-4 teams lose. Still pisses me off a bit seeing as how I'd have a near mortal lock on the 2 seed in the Hearts Conference right now. Link to post Share on other sites
Smokewagons 0 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Okay confusion has set in.How can Oh you call I call get in on the wildcard?I think you need Da Bears and Yangsters to lose and you guys win. Or if all win next week it would go to Common Opponents record (which I'm not going to figure out till necessary) since we would all have same division and conference record and no one has heads up on the others. IF we're still tied after common opponents record it would be a round robin tournament. I'm not real sure on the other scenarios. Maybe Sleuthis will confirm once he figures out the Heart Conference Link to post Share on other sites
zimmer4141 0 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I have another question here. It is very possible that I have the 4 seed because I won my division, but the 5 seed Wildcard team (Looshle/Kings) will have a better record than me. Do I have the home field advantage, or would they have the 1-0 lead to start? Link to post Share on other sites
