LSC Tiebreaker Policy
In the event of a tie for first place and/or other places, the procedure to break the tie(s) shall be as follows:
a. Two-Way Ties: In the event of a two-way tie, the seed positions are determined by:
i. Record against each other;
ii. Record against conference opponents in descending order starting with the highest seeded team;
iii. If the above formula is not conclusive, the Commissioner shall conduct a coin flip to determine the highest seeded team(s).
b. Multiple Ties:
i. At the conclusion of Conference play, if three or more teams are tied, the team with the most games won against other tied teams collectively will be awarded the highest seeded position. The remaining teams are placed at the beginning of the appropriate formula for "Multiple Ties" or "Two-Way Ties" until all ties have been broken.
ii. If one team does not have a winning record (more games won) against the other tied teams collectively, the individual records against the other Conference opponents in descending order starting with the top-seeded team are compared. When one team is awarded the higher seeded position by this method, the remaining teams are placed at the beginning of the appropriate formula for "Multiple Ties" or "Two-Way Ties" until all ties have been broken.
