Ties will be broken by applying, sequentially, the following criteria:
- Head-to-head competition
- Victories (not losses) against common opponents – two wins vs. one win is not a factor when applying criteria, NOTE: Losses are not considered when checking victories against common opponents.
- Situation 1: Team A plays Team B twice. The teams split. Team C plays Team B and Team C wins. Team A and C remain tied. The loss is not considered.
- Situation 2: Team A plays Team B twice and Team A wins both games. Team C plays Team B once and Team C wins. Teams A and C remain tied. Two wins vs. one win is not considered
- Best overall regular season win/loss percentage – games played against a team that is considered to be a non-point producing game will not be included when determining overall percentage
- If the tie cannot be broken, a drawing shall be held to determine the seeding position of the two schools involved. NOTE: Margin of victory shall never be used as criteria for breaking a tie.
