Two-Way Ties
a) Head-to-head competition records are compared, with the higher seed going to the team with the better record.
b) In the event step (a) fails to break the tie (the two tying teams split evenly their regular season series) the records of the tying teams against the No.1 seed shall be compared. The team with the better record against the No. 1 seed shall be given to the better seed.
c) The process in step (b) continues through the No. 8 seed (for tournament seeding) or through the last place team (to determine tournament qualifiers).
d) If the tie remains, a coin flip will determine the better seed for tournament play.
Multiple Ties
a) Composite records against the tying teams will be used to determine if one team has won more games against the other tying teams.
b) If step (a) does not resolve the multiple-tie situation, then comparison of records of the tying team against the No. 1 seed will occur. The team with the better record against the No. 1 seed will get the better seed.
c) This process will continue through the No. 8 seed (for tournament seeding) or through the last place team (to determine tournament qualifiers).
d) If the tie remains, a coin flip will determine the better seeds for the tournament play and entries into the tournament.
