AE Basketball Championship Tie-Breaking Procedure

[Zalman B]

11. Championship Tie-breaking Procedure: Teams tied for first place will be deemed “co-champions.”

 

Ties for championship seeding will be broken from the top of the standings down. In the event of a tie

between two or more teams, the tie shall be broken using the following criteria in order:

 

a. Winning percentage in conference games versus the other teams with which it is tied (i.e.

head-to-head-competition.

 

b. Winning percentage in conference games versus the other conference opponents in descending

rank order. In the event of arriving at another group of tied teams when comparing records,

each team’s record (winning percentage) versus the tied teams is used rather than the

performance versus the individual tied teams.

 

c. Winning percentage in conference road games. In the event a conference game was played on

a neutral court, the team awarded the home game by the conference offi ce when the schedule

was issued is considered the home team.

 

d. RPI ranking as determined by the College RPI Report through the end of regular-season

conference games.

 

e. Draw conducted by the Commissioner or his/her designee.

 

Once a tie is broken among two of more teams, immediately return to (a) to break the tie between the

remaining teams.
