Exactly...it is extremely unlikely for this to happen.

So why do we need to discuss further into what tie breakers should be used beyond this point?



H2H can present its own set of issues which I won't get into. PD is the most logical choice for simplicity's sake for a gaming environment. Not everything has to emulate real life.

The Tuesday after the last league game, so the 28th December.

Because we have nothing better to do :)
I doubt it matters, but it's just the principle that doesn't make sense, and some people have the OCD-like need for even the smallest things to make sense.

if u think about it, the system makes sense ;) And head to head is biased here, because u don't always play your strongest lineup here - that counts for you and your direct concurence, but often you don't know who ends with the same record then you or the game plan don't allows you to concentrate on that game. not forget about the end game logic

With point differential, those things balance out, over a season. With head to head, i think they will be lot of unlucky comparisions.

I've already said that I have no problem with point differential! I've said that at least 4 times now! It's the total points that I have problem with.

I'm sorry I did not mean to create such controversy, it is very well just a game.

And I am sad to say my original post was mostly a veiled complaint about points over H2H, and of course it's because it suits me. Not very positive :-/


I can accept the opinions, even if I don't agree with every one, and can certainly handle the rule being the rule whatever it may be. I wish you guys well :-)

Haha, looking at our league, I see that my team has more total points than any other team in our league, so the points rule is to my advantage. I still dont agree with it though.

What's not to agree?

The H2H WILL not work for teams from different conferences.....As Kozlo said it several times. So unless you have 2 inter conference matches you are basically handing the home team in that match a fair bit of advantage. How is that exactly fair? To decide the home team for the championship game on ONE game only in case of a tie.....

Nice logic here....
