Can someone clear something up?

pbbliss · 09-02-2012, 08:01 PM

I'm just trying to figure something out, cuz i really don't know - In the D3 on Sunday, 4 teams advance, teams in prelims in spots 3, 4, and 5 are all tied with 2 wins & 2 losses AND a Avg Margin of .5

the 5th place team Grind beat Effect in the prelims - so shouldn't Grind have advanced cuz that's the first tiebreaker correct? who beat someone else straight up in prelims?

thanks for anyone who can clear that up!

Because we only had 9 teams and no way to do 2 brackets head to head cancelled each other out. It was explained but can't recall honestly. Then the next is margin .5 then it went to points scored effect and Purdue had 11 points won Grind only 10... Don't ask me how they come up with this system but it's what we have and it works

Im not sure after reading this

RaceTo Tiebreaker Harmonization

PSP will be harmonizing the tiebreakers for RaceTo-2 and RaceTo-4, RaceTo-5 and RaceTo-7 for 2012.

For all divisions, teams will continue to first be ranked by number of matches won. In the event of a tie in a non-head-to-head round, ties will be broken, in order, by:

- Head-to-Head competition amongst the tied teams

- Margin of Victory in all matches in the current round (number of points scored minus number of points given up)

- Total Points Scored in all matches in the current round

- Greatest time remaining in Games/Matches Won (Total of time remaining in each game won in RaceTo-2, and each match won in RaceTo-4/5/7)

- Least time remaining in Games/Matches Lost (Total of time elapsed in each game lost in RaceTo-2, and each match lost in RaceTo-4/5/7)

- Place in Previous Rounds, most recent round first

- Seed into the Tournament

So it was a non head to head round because we didn't have 2 brackets I guess. Or the head to heads cancelled themselves out.

At plex when something like this happened
They did highest point margin then head to head with the last teams

thanks guys, i'm still a little confused, i'll send you a PM Tapp.

But if Andocommando is right, then the first tie breaker is the head to head. I understand it was just one bracket of 9 teams, and to me what he posted makes sense.

thanks - and maybe PM with Tapp will help one of my questions too.
