The following procedures will be used to break
standings ties for postseason playoffs and to determine
regular-season schedules.
NOTE: Tie games count as one-half win and
one-half loss for both clubs. |

The six postseason participants are be
seeded as follows:

TO BREAK A TIE
If, at the end of the regular season, two or more clubs finish with identical won-lost-tied percentages, the
following steps will be taken until a champion is determined. |
|
Two Clubs:
1)
Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the
clubs).
2) Best net points in all games.
3) Best net touchdowns in all games.
4) Coin
Toss.
|
|
Three or More
Clubs
NOTE: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are
eliminated during any step, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of the
two-club format.
1)
Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the
clubs).
2) Best net points in all games.
3) Best net touchdowns in all games.

TIE-BREAKING
PROCEDURE FOR SELECTION MEETING
If two or more clubs are tied in the selection order, the division
tie breaker is applied, subject to the following exceptions for
playoff clubs: |
|
1) The
Landry Classic winner is last and the Landry Classic loser
next-to-last.
2) Any non-Landry Classic playoff club involved in a tie
shall be assigned priority within its segment below that of
non-playoff clubs and in the order that the playoff clubs exited
from the playoffs. Thus, within a tied segment a playoff club that
loses in the Wild-Card game will have priority over a playoff club
that loses in the Divisional playoff game, which in turn will have
priority over a club that loses in the Conference Championship
game. If two tied clubs exited the playoffs in the same round, the
tie is broken by the division tie breaker. |
