Playoff Seeding
Our system automatically generates playoff seeds for your league based on the regular season standings. Seeds are determined by two factors:
- Division winner(s)
- Winning percentage
If teams are tied, the playoff seeding tiebreaker is used. The tiebreaker order can differ slightly depending on your league’s scoring type.
H2H Points Leagues
- Total points scored (the default for all leagues, and the League Manager can change it)
- Head-to-head record*
- Division record (used only in leagues with multiple divisions)
- Total points against (the team with the most points against wins)
- Coin flip
*When head-to-head record is selected as the tiebreaker criteria, and three or more teams have the same winning percentage at the end of the regular season, those teams must have played the same number of games for it to be used.
If your league prefers a different tiebreaker order, the League Manager can change it. Go to the Playoff Matchups page and click the Edit link.
