Tie
Breaking Procedures
THE FOLLOWING
WILL BE IN EFFECT FOR BOTH THE REGIONAL AND THE PROVINCIAL
TOURNAMENT SHOULD IDENTICAL WIN/LOSS RECORDS OCCUR:
Consider
matches won/lost first, then use the tie-breaking procedure.
TWO
TEAMS TIED - The team which won the match between the
two teams involved in the tie.
THREE
OR MORE TEAMS TIED - Points per match total: i.e. each
match worth a total of three points as follows:
1)
Team Winning 2 - 0 = 3 points.
2) Team Winning 2 - 1 = 2 points.
3) Team Losing 1 - 2 = 1 points.
Points
are calculated for all matches played, involving the entire
round.
NOTE:
Once the three-way tie is broken, the game results between
the remaining two teams will be used to determine the placement.
a)
If still tied, then the team with the fewest points scored
against them in matches played between the teams involved
will be declared the winner.
b)
If still tied, then the team with the fewest points scored
against them in the matches played involving the entire round
will be declared the winner.
c)
If still tied, the winner will be declared by playing a single-game,
match-style tournament against the teams involved, with opponents
decided upon by a draw performed by the commissioner.
