In my Wartown League it seems as though the tie-breaker did not work properply. There is a team who has the same record as another team but they beat them H2H and had more total points scored.
BigDig is the team who did not make it and Vendetta the team that did. Any explanation why as I have a really upset owner and, as I see it, rightfully so?
after reading this thread i guess my answer is in how the tie breaker is worded..."for ties of 3+ teams this is applicable only if one team has defeated each of the others or if one team has lost to each of the others." and the word swept should be replaced. yes? if we have the following teams and the last wild card spot.
all 4 teams have played each other at least 1 time. Lone Stars have split with Rhino Crush & RamlausHorde and beat the only meeting against GatorSwamp. GatorSwamp beat both RhinoCrush and RamlausHorde. RhinoCrush beat RamlausHorde twice.
so by the head to head wording. Lone Stars beat all 3 of the other teams and none of the other beat all 3 teams. RhinoCrush and RamlausHorde lost to all 3 teams. and LoneStars beat GatorSwamp.
but how i think it will play out is it will break it down into smaller tie breakers. the first being GatorSwamp for 1 division and LS, RC, & RH from div 2. RH horde is out based on division record, RC beats out LS based on points. then RC loses to GS due to H2H. GS gets the last spots.
so back to my original statement that the verbiage needs to change in the H2H definition for "beat" to "swept".
