;	How does the tiebreak system go, I forgot, I know it starts with head to head first but if the teams haven`t played, what is the next criteria?

;	Average Point Differential (AvPd). And I believe that is the second criteria after the team`s record.

Suggestion for Tiebreakers

;	after head to head the best tiebreaker is points allowed (not point differential) -- this will stop teams from trying to `run up the score` at the end of games which usually gets the losing team upset and leads to a fight, etc. Points allowed is the way to go

;	Is head to head the first tie breaker or in it by points?

;	Head to head is the 1st tie breaker. If neither team has played each other then it goes by points. If you have more than 2 teams that are tied then it follows the same rules (head to head 1st.....then point differential).

;	Its pretty well detailed in the playing rules tab to the left. As for PA vs PD, we consider that if 2 teams are still tied after all the tie-break procedures outlined are applied.
