For the Playoffs, we will be following the SPN Rule book for breaking ties in the Round Robin
Page 62 of Rule book (copy given to each team)
STG & OR (Sanctioned Tournament Guidelines and Operating Rules) Section 5
In tournament play where a round-robin format determines advancement or placing based on the plus-minus run factor, procedures shall be as follows:
A. The Maximum plus-minus difference per game, per team, is plus seven runs or minus seven runs.
B. Tournament team ranking criteria for placing shall be as follows:
a) Win-loss record
b) If necessary, win-loss record between tied teams (if all tied teams have played each other).
NOTE: If one team has defeated all other tied teams, that team will automatically be placed highest of the tied teams. If one team has been defeated by all the other teams, that team will be placed lowest of the tied teams.
c) If all tied teams have not played each other, plus-minus determines finish
d) If necessary, plus-minus record between tied teams (if all teams have played each other)
e) ** doesn’t apply to our tournament**
f) If necessary, actual score plus-minus differential
g) If necessary, total runs scored
h) If necessary, total runs allowed
i) Revert back in order (example: if a 4 game round robin, go to the 3rd game, 2nd game, 1st game).
j) If still tied, flip a coin
