Tie-Breaker Scenarios 

The exposure system is set up with these rules to determine

1. If 2 teams have a tied record after Pool Play, the winner of the head-to-head matchup is awarded the higher seed.

2. If 2 teams did not play head-to-head, Point Differential (see above) is applied to determine seeding.

3. If 2 teams also have the same Point Differential, the team who allowed the least amount of points in Pool Play would be  awarded the higher seed. 

       A. Using this formula, there is no benefit to running up the score, rather the benefit is in stopping the opposing team from scoring.

4. If 3 teams are tied, head-to-head matchups are irrelevent in determining seed for Bracket Play.

5. If 3 teams are tied, Point Differential is applied

          1st. Team in Tie: Only the games where the 3 teams played each other will count for in this differential. Meaning that if a game was played between one of the teams in the tie and one that isn't in the tie, that game is not used in differential.

          2nd. All Teams: The team with the highest Point Differential is awarded the high seed.

           3rd. Allowed: If a tie in Point Differential exists, Points Allowed (see above) will determine seed for Bracket Play.
