TIEBREAKER

Should a tie occur between two or more teams, division standings will be decided according to the following prioritized guidelines:

Consideration of the game(s) played between the tied teams.
Consideration of the points scored and the points allowed in games between the tied teams (i.e. ratio For/Against).
Consideration of games played versus the highest placed team, not in the tie, followed by the next highest placed team, etc.
Consideration of points scored and allowed versus the highest placed team not in the tie, followed by the next highest team, etc.

Note: The tie-breaking procedure for multiple ties shall be adjusted so that once the highest-ranked team is removed from the tie the head-to-head records of the remaining teams be utilized to break all remaining ties.

PLAYOFF FORMAT

Five (5) teams from each division will qualify for the basketball playoffs leading up to a Final Four Championship. Final league standing will be used to determine the ranking of the teams for the playoff series and Championship. The playoff series and Championship will occur over two weeks with the Final Four Championship in the last weekend.

Divisional Playoff

The top five (5) teams in the north and south divisions shall advance to the Divisional Playoffs with the two remaining divisional winners advancing to the Final Four Basketball Championship. Two sets of playoff series will be played in each division on the first weekend of playoffs. The match-ups will feature the lower-ranked team hosted by the higher-ranked team as determined by the regular season standings as follows:

#5 vs #4
- winner #5/#4 vs #1
#3 vs #2

Divisional Playoffs shall be scheduled on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Exact dates are to be determined by the competing teams. Whenever possible, the play-off games should be played on Friday and Saturday unless travel distance is a concern, and it is mutually agreeable between participating teams. Sunday or Thursday are options, but Friday & Saturday are preferred competition dates.

CHAMPIONSHIP

The four winning teams from the divisional playoffs will advance to the Final Four Basketball Championship tournament. The Final Four Championship tournament will be held the weekend after the Divisional Playoffs.

The Championship Tournament host shall be determined by the highest-ranked team (determined by the standings) in the geographical division pre-designated to host. In even years (e.g. 2023-24), the highest remaining North Division team will host the men’s event while the highest remaining South Division team will host the women’s event. Subsequently, in odd years (e.g. 2024-25), the highest remaining South team will host the men’s and the highest remaining North team will host the women’s championship.

The highest ranked (from the standings) remaining team in each division will be ranked #1 (N1 & S1). The next highest ranked will be ranked #2 (N2 & S2).
