Pool Play Tiebreaker Order
2 Teams Tied
-
A. Tiebreakers in which two (2) teams are tied, head-to-head
competition between the teams will determine the winner.
More than 2 Teams Tied
-
B. Round Robin: Tiebreakers in which more than two (2) teams are tied, a
point differential system will be applied. The point differential of
the teams involved in the tie is totaled. Teams are then ranked
according to the sum of the point differential with the highest
number placing first, the second highest placing second, etc.
Teams will receive a maximum of + points for a win and a
maximum of - points for a loss (including forfeits).
-
B. Random Scramble: Tiebreakers in which more than
two (2) teams are tied, a point differential system will be applied only against
the common opponent. The point differential of the teams involved in the tie
is totaled only against the common opponent. Teams are then ranked according
to the sum of the point differential with the highest number placing first,
the second highest placing second, etc Teams will receive a maximum of + points
for a win and a maximum of - points for a loss (including forfeits).
-
C. If two (2) teams are still tied after the application of
(B.), the tie will revert back to (A.).
-
D. If more than two (2) teams are still tied after the
application of (B.), the point differentials of the teams not
involved in the tie are added, and the results recalculated.
-
E. If two (2) teams remain tied after the application of (D.),
the tie will revert back to (A.).
-
F. If more than (2) teams remain tied after the application of
(D.), then a total defensive point system will be used. If two
teams are still tied, they would revert to the first tiebreaker
system.
-
G. If the (2) teams did not face each other in competition to
apply a head-to-head tiebreaker, a computer generated “Coin
Toss” will be applied to determine position.
Tiebreaker Formula Point differential Examples:
Team A 2 Wins 1 Loss
Team B 2 Wins 1 Loss
Team C 2 Wins 1 Loss
Team D 0 Wins 3 Losses
Example #1: To break the tie to determine the placement, first look at the game results of
the teams involved in the tie and total the point differentials.
Results Differential Total Placement
Team A
A vs. B (A-69 B-75) -6 +9 1st Place
A vs. C (A-85 C-69) +
Results Differential Total Placement
Team B
B vs. A (B-75 A-69) +6 -4 2nd Place
B vs. C (B-63 C-73) -10
Results Differential Total Placement
Team C
C vs. A (C-69 A-85) - -5 3rd Place
C vs. B (C-73 B-63) +10
Tiebreaker Formula Point Defensive Examples:
Team A
A vs. B (A-56 B-32) + Points Allowed 141
A vs. C (A-64 C-45) +
A vs. D (A-56 D-64) -8
Team A is 2-1 with wins of 56-32 & 64-45 and a loss of 56-64. Total defensive points determined
are 141. Repeat the same procedure for the remaining two teams. The team with the lowest points
allowed will determine the teams’ order of placement. If (2) teams remain tied after defensive
points are calculated, revert back to (A.)
