Tiebreaker Procedure:

The tiebreaker procedure will be used only to determine a league champion for purposes of a

postseason opportunity.

Two-Way Tiebreaker

In the event of a two-way tie in the standings, the following tiebreaker system shall be used, in order, until the tie is broken:

1. Winning percentage of each team in head-to-head competition.

2. Winning percentage of each team vs. the first-place team, or their composite winning percentage against any teams tying for first place.

3. Winning percentage of each team vs. the second-place team, or their composite winning

percentage against any teams tying for second place.

4. This process continues with winning percentage vs. the third-place team, fourth-place team,

etc., as necessary, until the tie is broken and seeding is complete.

5. If a tie still exists after exhausting steps 1-4, the most recent rankings of USA Today's Sagarin

poll at the conclusion of the regular season will be utilized to determine the Conference

champion.

Three-Way (or more) Tiebreaker

In the event of a three-way tie (or a tie involving more than three teams) in the standings, the

following tiebreaker system shall be used in the order listed.

1. The winning percentages of the teams involved in the tie vs. each other shall be compared. If

one team's winning percentage is superior to the others, that team shall be removed from the

tie and seeded highest of the teams involved in the tie. If two teams subsequently remain, that

tie shall be broken utilizing the two-way tiebreaker procedure.

2. If no single team has a superior winning percentage after the comparison described in No. 1,

but multiple teams have the same superior percentage to the any other teams involved in the

tie, those teams with the superior percentage will be compared using either the two-way or

three-way tiebreaker procedure. The team that has the advantage will be seeded highest of all

teams involved in the original tie. The other team(s) (the loser(s) of the appropriate

tiebreaker) will again be compared to the remaining teams in the tie, beginning with step No.

1 of the three-way tiebreaker.

3. If all winning percentages in the three-way (or more) tie vs. teams involved in the tie are the

same, each team's winning percentage vs. the first-place team or teams tying for first place

shall be compared. If one team's winning percentage is superior to the others, that team shall

be removed from the tie and seeded highest of the teams involved in the tie. If two teams

remain, that tie shall be broken utilizing the two-way tiebreaker procedure.

4. If all winning percentages in the three-way (or more) tie vs. teams involved in the tie are the

same, each team's winning percentage vs. the first-place team or teams tying for first place

shall be compared. If multiple teams have a superior winning percentage to any other team in

the original tie, those teams with the superior percentage will be compared using either the

two-way or three-way tiebreaker procedure. The team that has the advantage will be seeded

highest of all teams involved in the original tie. The other team(s) (the loser(s) of the

appropriate tiebreaker) will again be compared to the remaining teams in the tie, beginning with step No. 1 of the two-way or three-way tiebreaker5. This process continues as necessary, comparing winning percentages of teams in the tie vs. the second-place team or their composite percentages vs. teams tying for second place, third place, etc., until all ties are broken and seeding is complete.

6. If all steps above have been exhausted and the tie cannot be broken, the most recent rankings USA Today's Sagarin poll at the conclusion of the regular season will be utilized to determine the Conference champion.
