ACCT tie breaker scenarios? Anyone know?

[vtsmoker]

BC beat GT so it looks like the bottom four could all end up at 4-12. BC will likely lose @Mia and finish
4-12, then WF plays @GT, so if GT wins that then they both are 4-12. I really don't see us winning @Clem, and I have no idea about senior night against NCST. They could be playing for their bubble lives, and Cassell will be pretty empty b/c the students are on spring break. Plus, we aren't as good as them anyways, so we'd have to play really well to win. So assuming VT,WF,BC,GT are all 4-12, how does the ACCT seeding play out?

WF obviously has a great chance to win @GT, so that would make them 5-11, and lock up the 9 seed. Then we'd be tied with BC for the 10th seed at 4-12, assuming they don't win in Miami. Would we get the tiebreak over them due to an overall better record?

All this can change, especially if we win, but if these two scenarios - 4 teams tied at 4-12, or BC and VT tied at 4-12 for the 10th seed - where would we fall?

I believe the tie break between two teams goes head to head as first test, then assuming you split season series it goes to record against the top teams, so no wins vs Duke or Carolina, then whoever beat FSU would get the top spot. So in the BC vs VT scenario I think BC gets it due to their win over FSU. Im not 100% so please feel free to correct if wrong.

1.When two teams are tied in the standings, regular season head-to-head results are used as the tiebreaker.

2.If the tied teams played each other twice in the regular season and split their games, then each team's record vs. the team occupying the highest position in the final regular season standings (or in case of a tie for first place, the next highest position in the regular season standings) and then continuing down through the standings until one team gains an advantage.
◦a. When arriving at another pair of tied teams while comparing records, use each team's record against the collective tied teams as a group (prior to their own tie-breaking procedures), rather than the performance against the individual tied teams.
◦b. When comparing records against a single team or a group of teams, the higher winning percentage shall prevail, even if the number of games played against a team or group is unequal. (i.e., 2-0 is better than 3-1; 1-0 is the same as 2-0; 2-0 is the same as 4-0; 2-1 is the same as 4-2; 1-0 is better than 1-1; 0-1 is the same as 0-2; 0-2 is the same as 0-4). If the winning percentage of the tied teams is equal against a team, or a group of tied teams, continue down through the standings until one team gains an advantage.

3.If three or more teams are tied in the standings, the following procedures will be used:
◦a. The combined record of conference games between the tied teams involved will be compiled. Ties will be broken, and seedings assigned, based on the winning percentage of the combined conference records. The higher winning percentage shall prevail, even if the number of games played against the team or group is unequal (i.e., 2-0 is better than 3-1; 1-0 is the same as 2-0; 2-0 is the same as 4-0; 2-1 is the same as 4-2; 1-0 is better than 1-1; 0-1 is the same as 0-2; 0-2 is the same as 0-4).
◦b. If procedure (a) fails to break the tie, then each tied team's record shall be compared to the team occupying the highest position in the final regular-season standings, continuing down through the standings until one team gains an advantage by a higher winning percentage.
◦c. If the tie is broken by (a) or (b) regarding one of more teams, but three or more teams remain tied, then procedures (a) and (b) will be reapplied among those tied teams only.
◦d. If two teams remain tied, procedures (1) and (2) will be followed.

4.If there is more than one tie in the standings, and when utilizing the tie-breaking procedures there are a pair of teams tied, a team's record against the combined tied teams (prior to their own tie-breaking procedures) is used, rather than performance against the individual tied teams.

5.If procedures (2) and/or (3) fail to establish an advantage, a coin flip to break the tie will be conducted by the commissioner after the final regular season game before the Conference Championship.

6.If a coin flip or draw (for a three or more team tie) is required, the procedure takes place immediately following the conclusion of the last regular season game prior to the Conference Championship. The procedure is administered by the commissioner or a designated assistant. This session is open to the media and to athletics department representatives from the tied teams.
