TIE BREAKER

If two or more teams are tied, the following criteria will be applied, in order:

The team having the best ratio of won/lost matches, considering matches between the tied teams, will be ranked higher;
The team having the best ratio of won/lost sets, considering matches played be- tween the tied teams, will be ranked higher;
The team having the best ratio of won/lost sets, considering all matches of the round, will be ranked higher;
The teamhavingthebestratioofpoints for/against, consideringsets played between the tied teams, will be ranked higher;
The team having the best ratio of points for/against, considering all sets played during the round, will be ranked higher;
As determined by the Organizing Committee (e.g. extra set, toss of coin, etc.)

When you apply this rule to break a tie you should follow this sequence:

When two teams are tied, the tie-breaking criteria are applied one after the other until the tie has been broken.
When three or more teams are tied, the tie-breaking criteria are applied one after the other until all the tied teams have been ranked.

Note: This means that if there is a tie among teams X, Y and Z and criteria “b” is able to determine X as first, Y as second and Z as third, then no further criteria are to be used. The tie is broken.

However, if criteria ‘b’ determines the seeding/ranking of any of the tied teams, then the remaining teams which are still tied will use criteria ‘c’ and so on to determine their seeding/ranking. Do not start at ‘a’ again. Continue through the sequence of criteria using the results of teams x, y, and z for criteria‘d’.

PLAYOFF FORMAT

The top two ranked teams in each division will receive a bye to the divisional semi-final game. The winners of the quarter-final games will advance to meet the 1^st or 2^nd ranked teams receiving the bye. The winner of the divisional semi-finals will be played to determine a first & second place team in each division.

These top teams from each division will cross-over for the Final Four Championship, S2 vs N1 and N2 vs S1. All games will be played at one institution. The losers of the Championship semi-final games will play for bronze while the winners will compete for gold.
