It doesn't mention 4 way tie 5 way tie, etc. It also would assume if 3 way tie for record, that all 3 teams played each other, which may not be the case.


I do think it means if that there is 3 or more teams tied after winning percentage, you move to #3, Goals Against.

Coppermine over FCA by 7
Skywalkers over Pride by 2
Crush over M&D by 1
Hero's over Stars by 8

Crush over Skywalkers by 3
Hero's over Coppermine by 2

Hero's over Crush by 1

Couple of points:

- Coppermine has to beat Hero's, which is no gimme.
- Assuming #1 occurs, Hero's will almost certainly be #2 seed because head-to-head is only thrown out when there is a three-way tie in head-to-head, which is not the case here.

So, Pride would play M&D Black instead of Skywalkers.

This is not correct, need to look at your standings and tiebreakers again

These are the first three tie breaking steps:

1. Teams will be seeded by their record according to the following formula (percentage):
[(#Wins + 0.5*#Ties)/(#Wins + #Losses + #Ties)]

2. Head to Head Competition (if there is a three way tie in head to head competition, that
tiebreaker is thrown out).

3. Goals allowed vs. in-division opponents

There is not a three-way tie in Head to Head Competition, so I don't think head-to-head will get thrown out. I think people are incorrectly assuming head-to-head gets thrown out in a three-way tie, but that is not what the words say. There has to be a three-way tie in head-to-head (e.g., three teams are tied and head to head is the first tie breaker and all three teams have a 1-1 record against each other, so the head to head doesn't break any ties).

I think you are mis interpreting the 3 way tie in head to head competition statement. It means, if there is a 3 way tie in the wins/loss percentage than the head to head stat gets thrown out. It gets too muddy looking at head to head with 3 or more teams because of multiple possibilities for scenarios. Ex if A beats B, but C beats A and B and C didn’t play each other. So it is just easier to toss that stat line out the window all together and move to goals against.
