Question
QUESTION: Tom,
How do you break ties in the final regular season standings? We have
to determine seeding for the playoffs. We're probably going to have 2 or three
teams tie. Thanks for all your help. Dave
ANSWER: Dave,
I dont' do slow pitch but this question I can help with.
I run a travel ball tournament each year and this is how we do it.
Head to Head if all teams have played each other
Runs allowed, I would use the whole season
Run differential 8 Max, again I would use the whole season
Coin toss

QUESTION: Do you mean run differential between the tied teams? Why 8 max? Thanks again!
Answer
Normally the tie-breaker rules are in place before the season starts. The 8-run max would discourage scores from being run up in one-sided games. I would use the differential or runs allowed from the whole season. This would give you a better persective on who was consistantly the better team and should be seeded higher.
