Tiebreak System
Last Updated: November 15, 2009
In the event of a tie between two contestants in the same league at the end of the contest, a tiebreak system will be used. The exact system will depend on your league type and the league's particular settings (that is, if the league has chosen to use a playoff system, it will affect how ties are broken).
If, at the end of the season, two or more teams in a non-division league finish with the same overall record, the following system will be used to break the tie:
Overall winning percentage.
Fantasy points scored.
Fantasy points scored in Week 17.
Fantasy points scored in Week 16.
Fantasy points scored in Week 15.
Fantasy points scored in Week 14.
Fantasy points scored in Week 13.
Fantasy points scored in Week 12.
And so on.
If, at the end of the season, two or more teams in a division finish with the same overall record, the following system will be used to decide the division winner:
Overall winning percentage.
Division winning percentage.
Fantasy points scored.
Fantasy points scored in Week 17.
Fantasy points scored in Week 16.
Fantasy points scored in Week 15.
Fantasy points scored in Week 14.
Fantasy points scored in Week 13.
Fantasy points scored in Week 12.
And so on.
If, at the end of the season, the two division winners or any wild card teams finish with the same overall record, the following system will be used to break the tie:
Overall winning percentage.
Fantasy points scored.
Fantasy points scored in Week 17.
Fantasy points scored in Week 16.
Fantasy points scored in Week 15.
Fantasy points scored in Week 14.
Fantasy points scored in Week 13.
Fantasy points scored in Week 12.
And so on.
If, at the end of the season, two or more players in a points league finish with the same overall total, the following system will be used to break the tie:
Fantasy points scored in Week 17.
Fantasy points scored in Week 16.
Fantasy points scored in Week 15.
Fantasy points scored in Week 14.
Fantasy points scored in Week 13.
Fantasy points scored in Week 12.
And so on.
In the event that a playoff game ends in a tie, the deadlock will be broken using the following system:
Most touchdowns scored by entire starting roster.
Most fantasy points by starting quarterback(s).
Most fantasy points by starting defensive team(s).
Most fantasy points by starting defensive player(s).
Most fantasy points by starting defensive back(s).
Most fantasy points by starting defensive linemen.
Most fantasy points by starting wide receiver(s).
Most fantasy points by starting running back(s).
Most fantasy points by starting tight end(s).
Most fantasy points by starting kicker(s).
NOTES:
When breaking a tie in a playoff game, the only statistics used will be from that specific game.
All touchdowns scored by the team (passing, rushing, receiving and defensive) will be counted in the playoff tiebreaker.
For any end-of-season ties, the final week of your league's regular season will be the first week used to break the deadlock.
For any tie where a weekly point total comes in to play, only those weeks where all teams involved in the tie received fantasy points will be considered.
