Tiebreaking Procedures from the MAC Tourney WebsiteAll ties will be broken in the order in which they occur, from top to bottom, in the standings. When comparing tied teams against positions lower in the standings, which are also tied, those lower-tied positions will be considered as a single position for purposes of comparison. (Example: Team A and Team B, who tied for second place, would compare against Team X and Team Y, who tied for 6th as follows: Team A would compare its combined record against both X and Y against Team B's combined record against both X and Y.) 1. Head-to-head competition 2. Winning percentage* vs. ranked conference teams (top to bottom, regardless of division; vs. common opponents, regardless of the number of times played) 3. Coin flip * Winning percentage is used instead of record because of situations where teams do not play each other thesame number of times. Therefore, a team that is 1-0 (1.000) would win the tiebreaker over a team that is 1-1 (.500).
