As spring regular seasons wrap up, we wanted to share a feature which can assist conference offices in sorting out tiebreakers for post-season tournaments.
Using the power of the network, our admin system can display a number of comparisons based on both conference and overall results.
This season the NEWMAC had a three way tie for third place in women's lacrosse. Our standings compare feature was able to show head-to-head records as well as the record against other conference opponents in ranked order.
Currently we have six common tiebreakers sketched out:
- Head to head record
- Head to head scoring differential
- Record against conf opponents in ranked order
- Scoring differential against conf opponents in ranked order
- Record against common opponents (conference events only)
- Record against common opponents (overall events)
Are there other criteria that your conference uses to break ties? Let us know how we can assist because after all, crunching numbers is what computers do well.
