Patriot League Tiebreaking Procedures

Two-Team Tiebreaker
Non-League contests completed before the Monday prior to the Championship will be included in the tiebreaker formula, if necessary. Any non-League contest played on or after the Monday prior to the Championship will not be included in the tiebreaker formula.

1. In the case of a two-way between teams in the final standings for regular-season League play, the following process will be used until all ties are broken and the seeding process is completed (ties will be broken in rank order beginning with the highest seed):

A. Head-to-head competition — the higher seed will go to the team that has won the most League contests played against the other team involved in the tie (in the sport of volleyball, both sets and individual games will be considered).

B. If a tie still exists, a comparison of records will be made between the tied institutions starting at the highest possible seed and continuing through the lowest seed, if necessary.

C. Sport specific tie-breaking procedure, if any (see Sport Specific regulations).

D. Comparison of records versus out-of-League common opponents.

E. Coin flip.

Multi-Team Tiebreaker
2. In the case of multiple ties (more than two teams tied for the same spot), the following process will be used: Note: The entire process for multiple-team ties must be completed. The Patriot League does not revert back to the two-way tie formula once the multiple-team tie has been resolved.

A. Records between the tied teams will be evaluated to determine if one team won more contests against the other tied institutions.

B. If a tie still exists, a comparison of records will be conducted for each team starting with the highest seed not involved in the tie and continuing through the lowest seed, if necessary.

C. Sport specific tie-breaking procedure, if any (see Sport Specific regulations).

D. Comparison of records versus out-of-League common opponents.

E. Coin flip (two teams) or draw (multiple teams).

Below is the sport-specific tie-breaking procedure, if applicable:

Football:
a. If a tie exists, the higher seed will go to the team that won the most head-to-head League contest(s) played against the other team(s) involved in the tie.

b. If a tie still exists, a comparison of League records will be made between the tied institutions starting at the highest seed and continuing through the lowest seed, if necessary.

c. If a tie still exists, a comparison of records against common out-of-league opponents will be made;

d. If a tie still exists, a committee consisting of the athletics directors of each of the institutions not involved in the tie will make a final decision. The committee should consider various factors including, but not limited to, the following examples. Note: the examples are listed in no particular order:

i). Strength of schedule

ii). Overall record

iii). Computer rankings

iv). Performance during second half of season

The committee will meet immediately following the conclusion of the final game of the season’s final weekend. A majority vote of the members of the committee will be needed to determine the champion.
