Two-Way Tie

A. Win over the other.

Multiple-Team Tie (3 or more teams) Elimination and Semifinals

Head-to-head

A. For single round-robin sports, three or more teams tied are

viewed as a “mini-conference” when comparing head-to-head
results. The team with the best record vs. the other teams in
the mini-conference gains the advantage.

Example:
1. A vs B = 91- 90 A vs C = 88 -79 B vs
C = 77 - 75

Team A wins tiebreaker against B and C via best head-to-

head record. Team A is 2–0; B is 1–1; C is 0–2.

2. A vs B = 91- 90 A vs C = 88 -79 A vs D=
75-77

B vs C = 88-87 B vs D = 79-77

C vs D = 86-81

Team A and B wins tiebreaker against C and D via best head-

to-head record. Team A and Bare 2–1; C is 1–2; D is 0–3. Since
Team A wins against B, then A will be placed as the highest rank,
followed by B, C and the last is D.

If 3 teams in the mini-conference remain tied, proceed to B.

Point system
 B. If there’s still three-way tie after comparing the head to head
results, then we will use the point system.

Example:

A vs B = 91- 90 A vs C =78 -79 B vs C = 77 - 75

A=1–1=0 B=2–1=1 C = 1 – 2 = -1

Team B wins tiebreaker against A and C via point

system. Team B is 1; A is 0; C is -1.
A vs B = 91- 90 A vs C = 88 -79 A vs D= 75-77

B vs C = 88-87 B vs D = 79-77

C vs D = 81-86

Since A, B and D has 2-1 in the head to head result and C has
0-3, then the quotient system will be applied in this scenario. Team
C will not be included in the quotient system.

A = 1+9-2 =8 B = 1+2-1 =2 D = 2+5-2 =5

Team A wins tiebreaker against D and B via point system.

Team A is 8; D is 5; B is -2. A will be placed as the highest rank,
followed by D, B and the last is C.

If all teams in the mini-conference remain tied, proceed to C.

C. The next step is to compare the point differential in all league

matches. The tied teams shall be seeded in order of point
differential. The team with the best point differential is seeded
highest. If all teams in the mini-conference remain tied,
proceed to D.

If all teams in the mini-conference remain tied, proceed to D.

D. The next step is to compare the total point in all league

matches. The tied teams shall be seeded in order of total
point. The team with the best total is seeded highest. If all
teams in the mini-conference remain tied, proceed to General
Tie Breaking Rules.
