Tiebreaker Procedures

A. Tiebreaker procedures shall be used ONLY to determine seeds for the tournament. Regular season standings shall stand.

B. To determine seeds any ties shall be broken from the top of the standings to the bottom, and shall utilize the following procedure:

1. Head-to-head competition

2. Comparison of each tied teams' record against the team occupying the highest position in the standings, continuing down through the standings until a team gains the advantage, thereby drawing the higher seed. This process continues until seeding is complete.

3. Best RPI between the tied teams after regular season is complete using the Collegiate Basketball News rankings.

C. In the event of a tie involving more than two teams, the tie breaking process will be used until one team is removed from the deadlock. Once that team is removed from the tie, the remaining ties are broken by head-to-head competition. The procedure will continue in order, always reverting back to head-to-head competition to break remaining ties.
