I'm sure this has been asked but I don't see it on the first couple pages

3 Division Winners
1 Wild Card determined by what, Record? Even if they haven't played all the same teams? Tie breaker: H2H?

Team matchup winner, wins, ties, points allowed, points for.

Ladder games don't count for league playoffs.


Which I think means, Wild Card determined by record. If there are teams with the same record, then H2H, same formula as GLB1, and then points allowed, and points scored.

Everyone's played the same teams, but of course the divisional schedule is unbalanced. But everyone in the league has played everyone else.

Should go Record, H2H, PF-PA, Coin Toss

I said PF minus PA, though you could argue for PF/PA as well.

Should be record, then ladder rank.

It would make sense that you are trying to send the best team, not the team that scores more points or gives up less. They could have a couple blowout wins but overall not be as good as a team that has moved up in the ladder and beat teams at their level. The you don't have to do any calculations and there are no other needed tiebreakers or coin tosses.

Ladder games are good for rankings but shouldn't have a play in league standing IMO as the had nothing to do with your wins and loses in league.

Exactly why ladder ranking is the best way to determine which team is the better team between two with the same league record. Instead of comparing which one beat up on the league scrubs better, why not have the tie breaker be how well they did that season against evenly matched opponents? League games also play a part in ladder ranking so they hold weight and it makes even more sense.
