Seeding Explanations and More Information:

Central Division Title:  Because the SCOREpions and Barcelona Dragons each finished the season at 8-6, the tie-breaker applied is intra-divisional record. The SCOREpions were 5-1 in the Central, while the Dragons were 4-2. Therefore, the SCOREpions win the Central.

Western Division Title and 2nd Seed:  Because the 'Horns and the Silverbacks each finished the season at 9-5, the tie-breaker applied is intra-divisional record. The 'Horns were 4-2 in the West, while the Silverbacks were 3-3. Therefore, the 'Horns win the West. Because the first tie-breaker for seeding is to apply divisional tie-breakers to teams between the same division, the 'Horns also earn the second seed over the Silverbacks, who take the third seed.

4th Seed:  Three teams finished the year at 8-6. Because two are from the same division, divisional tie-breakers are applied to limit the field to just the top team from each division first. As noted above, the SCOREpions win the divisional tiebreaker over the Barcelona Dragons. As between the SCOREpions and Carolina Bucks, the SCOREpions defeated the Bucks in Week 10. Therefore, the SCOREpions earn the fourth seed. As between the Bucks and Dragons, the Dragons defeated the Bucks in Week 3. Therefore, the Dragons take the fifth seed, and the Bucks take the sixth seed.

8th Seed:  Two teams finished the year at 6-8. Because the teams are from different divisions, the first tie-breaker is head-to-head record. Because the Indy Zombies defeated the Commissioners in Week 1, the Zombies earn the eighth seed.


Below is an excerpt of the league rules describing the tie-breaking procedures used by the league:

X. Tie-Breaker Rules

    A. Individual Games

    During the regular season, no tie-breaker method will be used to determine winners in the event of a tie. In the event a team ends a game in a tie, the tie game will reflect as one-half of a win and one-half of a loss.

    During the playoffs, in the event of a tie, the tie will be broken by using the aggregate score of each teams non-starting portion of their respective rosters. If this should fail to break the tie, the home team will be given the victory. The winner of the tie-breaker will be awarded one point to their final score to signify the victory.

    B. Regular Season League Standings

    During the regular season in the event of equal records to determine league standings overall points scored then a coin toss will be used.

    C. To Break a Tie Within a Division

    The divisional title is awarded to the team in each division with the best overall league record.

    In the event of a tie for a divisional title (and hence an automatic berth to the tournament), the following steps will be used to break the tie:

      1. Two Clubs

        a. Divisional Record
        b. Head-to-Head Record
        c. Head-to-Head Scoring
        d. Overall Points
        e. Divisional Points
        f. Each team will share the division title.  If the tie-breaker is used to determine a playoff berth or seeding, this step will use a coin toss.

      2. Three or More Clubs

        NOTE: If two clubs remain tied after second step or other clubs are eliminated during any step, tie breaker revers to first step of the two-club format.

        a. Divisional Record
        b. Head-to-Head Sweep (Applicable only if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others)
        c. Head-to-Head Record (best won-loss-tied percentage in games among the clubs)
        d. Overall Points
        e. Divisional Points

    D. To Break a Tie for a Wild-Card Berth or Playoff Seeding

    If it is necessary to break ties to determine the wild-card teams in the playoffs or to determine playoff seeding, the following steps will be taken to break the tie:

      NOTE: If the tied clubs are from the same division, apply the division tie-breaker. If the tied clubs are from different divisions, apply the following steps.

      1. Two Clubs

        a. Head-to-Head Record
        b. Overall Points
        c. Record against all set playoff teams higher than the position being sought
        d. Record against divisional champs (only if neither team is the champ of its division)
        e. Coin Toss

      2. Three or More Clubs

        NOTE: If two clubs remain tied after second step or other clubs are eliminated during any step, tie breaker revers to the first step of the two-club format.

        a. Apply division tie-breaker to eliminate all but the highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to the next step. The original seeding within a division upon application of the division tie-breaker remains the same for all subsequent applications of the procedure that are necessary to identify Wild-Card teams or seed teams with playoff berths.
        b. Head-to-Head Sweep (Applicable only if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others)
        c. Head-to-Head Record (best won-loss-tied percentage in games among the clubs)
        d. Overall Points
        e. Record against all set playoff teams higher than the position being sought
        f. Record against divisional champs (only if neither team is the champ of its division)
        g. Coin Toss

    E. Other Tie-Breaker Rules

    Only one club advances or is eliminated from a tie-breaker in any tie-breaking step. Remaining tied clubs revert to the first step of the applicable division or Wild-Card tie-breaker.
