Does anyone know what the GLB order of tiebreaking is? I'd like to figure out the Lion playoff scenarios, but I'm stumped when we get into the 9-6 teams.

If it's a tiebreaker between 2 teams I believe it's head to head first.
Anything more than 2 teams and it goes to points scored.
Don't hold me to that head to head thing though, I've never seen a tiebreaker be settled by head to head. I have on the other hand seen a ton of tiebreakers broken by points scored.

Tie Breakers:
1. Head-to-head Amongst Tied Teams
This is pretty self explanatory for two teams. If there are more than two teams, it goes by overall head-to-head record between the tied teams. For example, if three teams are tied and one team has a 2-0 record against the others, they will take it (since the other teams will be 1-1 and 0-2 against the tied teams). If all teams are tied at 1-1 against each other, then it goes to the second breaker.
2. Points Scored
If said teams have the same record amongst the tied teams, then it goes by points scored.
3. Points Allowed
If said teams have an even record amongst the tied teams and have scored the exact same points, then points allowed is used.

The Monkeez didn't make it in as we waited a bit too long for our annual late season run. I think it came down to that the Wasps went CPU after we played them and the Ridgebacks got to play them afterwards and dropped a ton of points on them to beat us in the pts scored tiebreaker.
Guess it's true that it's not who you play it's when you play them.
Congrats to all the playoff teams (even the Ridgebacks
) We'll see if we can get things together earlier next season and get back in the playoffs.

Inconsistency and playing the Wasps at the wrong time hit us too. The way I look at it is that we were literally 2 plays from being 11-5, as well as 7-9. So I guess our record wound up reflecting the team we are.
We'll be much improved for season 7, though.

The Wasps timing was indeed a factor for some of the tie breakers. I told our OC this morning that we needed as many points as possible in case we needed them to win the tie breakers.
1688 passing yards later, we scored like 240+.

Well, Rwanda played and beat the Wasps back when they were still tough and Rwanda still came out ahead in the 9-7 tie breaker. So hat's off to them.
