Overall Season Winner - Team and Individual

PLAYOFFS – Team Overall Season Divisional Winner

The regular seven week season determines the ranking of each of the eight teams in the division by their overall points.  At the end of the seven weeks, the four highest winning teams will be a bracket, and the four lowest winning teams will be a bracket for week #1 of the playoffs.  Any ties for placement will be broken by using the TIE BREAK method below. 

Week #1 of the playoff will be the following match ups:

  • Match 1: Ranked #1 vs. #4
  • Match 2: Ranked #2 vs. #3 
  • Match 3: Ranked #5 vs. #8
  • Match 4: Ranked #6 vs. #7
 
If there is a tie in a Playoff Match, the tie-breaker is whoever wins the Team Demo.
 
 
Week #2 of the playoff will be determining 1st through 8th place for the season/division:
 
  • The winners of Match 1 and 2 of week #1 will compete for 1st and 2nd place.
  • The losers of Match 1 and 2 of week #1 will compete for 3rd and 4th place. 
  • The winners of Match 3 and 4 of week #1 will compete for 5th and 6th place.
  • The losers of Match 3 and 4 of week #1 will compete for 7th and 8th place.

REGULAR SEASON (weeks 1 to 7) TIE BREAKERS
 
The tie breaks for the playoffs will be decided by the following until ties are broken (list is in priority order):
  
  1. Overall points over the 7 weeks compared  (the 7 point result of each game)
  2. Total player points over the 7 weeks compared
  3. Team demo points over the 7 weeks compared
  4. Fighting points over the 7 weeks compared
  5. Battle form points over the 7 weeks compared
  6. Weekly total player points from each week compared until tie is broken. Order of comparison is week 4, 5, 3, 6,  2, 7, then 1).
  7. If the tie has not been broken, the league executive director will determine the additional method to break the tie.   
 
All teams are compared until a team wins the comparison of the criteria. The team(s) that are still tied for will go to the next Tie-Breaker on the list (until all teams are placed.) 
 

For example:  

Team A, B, C, and D are tied for first place by the [#1] Overall Points for the season (each has received 28 overall points). 

To figure out 1st through 4th place, Total Player points [#2] will now be assessed. Team A has 595 total points accumulated for the 7 weeks. Team B has 595 points.  Team C has 592.  Team D has 592. The result after the 2nd tie-breaker is: Team A and B are still tied for 1st. Team C and Team D have lost the tie-breaker for 1st (and will now be tied for 3rd). 

The next tie breaker [#3] for Team A and B is team demo points for the season. Team A has 82 for the 7 week regular season, Team B has 82.  Tie still exists. 

Their next tie-breaker will  be used for Team A and B.  [#4] Total fighting points for the season: Team A has 210 and Team B has 200. The tie has been broken, Team A is in first place for the playoffs, Team B is in 2nd place. 

As for Team C and D their next tie breaker is [#3] Total Team Demo. Team C has 85 and Team D has 90.  Team D is in 3rd place, Team C is in 4th place.
