We have a 3 way tie 2,3,4th.

Our rules for tiebreak are as follows.

Power & Playoff Rank Tiebreakers

1. Best head-to-head record "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."

2. Most average points/game

3. Hardest schedule (record)

4. Hardest schedule (points)

We can use tiebreak 1 h2h in this case. The three teams are HHJ, PINK and DEP.

Game 1 HHJ (111.4) vs PINK (103.765) = HHJ win

Game 2 HHJ (71.4) vs PINK (100.4) = Pink win

Game 3 DEP vs PINK = DEP Wwn

Game 4. HHJ vs DEP - HHJ win

The commish and HHJ say that HHJ should be ranked #2, DEP #3, PINK #4, since HHJ has 2 wins in the total h2h. This is not what the fleaflicker software ranked us, they ranked us DEP #2, PINK #3, HHJ #4.

I believe that fleaflicker is correct because HHJ did not beat PINK in h2h because we both won a game you go to points and PINK wins on points leaving all 3 teams with 1 win and then again going to points.

What say you?

I know it's way too late and don't know how it ended up being decided. But my take is that the h2h tie breaker means h2h of all 3 teams combined added up which would give HHJ a 2-1 record DEP a 1-1 record and PINK a 1-2 record which would rank them as the commish says. The problem is the different number of games played vs each other. I'm assuming HHJ and PINK are in same division since they played twice and DEP is in different one. But the fleaflicker explanation makes it clear saying that the h2h step only counts if 1 team has beaten all others or lost to all others which didnt happen so it should go to the PPG step. If the commish prefers their own tie breaking system they should mention it up front before the season starts saying this is the system I'm using regardless of what fleaflicker says and if the standings have to be edited to fit MY system I will do it. Not wait til the situation arises and then say well I prefer to do it this way and go against the way fleaflicker places the teams just cuz they think it should be different. Either deal with the fleaflicker way or say up front this is the way it will be.
