Aside from Rad Dads running away with things, it looks like a pretty competitive league.

Good cup success as well. Best of luck to everyone on the rest of the season.

I don't understand why I have the tiebreaker edge with BrokegGang? He has the better point differential at the time I've written this.

Because you've won the game against him.

If you lose your second game, with the same point differential, BrokeGang will have the edge.

This is from the Game Manual.

Ties in the standings are broken first by number of forfeits (indicated by a * next to the number of losses a team has), followed by point differential, then points scored.

BrokeGang has 3 ganes in which they didn't field a lineup while Hermit Hooligans only had 1 game.

I thought about that, but then I checked the game manual. It says, "Ties in the standings are broken first by number of forfeits (indicated by a * next to the number of losses a team has), followed by point differential, then points scored." There is no mention of head to head tiebreaker or record That's what confused me.

Didn't mean to be misleading, sorry for that.

It's a bit unfair though.
Since standings should reflect which team is better and rank them higher, a head-to-head record is a much better metric, imho.

A team might get lucky and blow out a recently abandoned squad. That shouldn't put that team above a rival that has a 2-0 favorable record. Just my 2 cents.

I agree. In many major sports ties, head to head is often used as a tiebreaker. I just was confused with the reading of the manual. I appreciate your input either way!
