playoff tiebreaker

[coninefan]

I just got the game and I finished my 2nd season and unless I'm missing something, I think the tiebreak settings are incorrect and I got jobbed.

I finished 8-8 (so clearly I shouldn't be mad, but I also lost my last two games in the last minute because of a hail mary) with an 8-4 conference record. There were a total of 7 teams at 8-8, and the team that made it in had a 6-6 conference record, AND I beat them head-to-head. I had the best conference record, and I was 4-0 v. the other 8-8 teams.

I can't figure out how to add an image correctly...but here is a link.

that picture is of some chick, I'm not sure how that helps in this situation?

was there another team in your division at 8-8 that beat you head-to-head or with a better division record? this would have eliminated you

Is it seriously of some chick? When I go to the link, it's my standings.

And the answer is yes, there was an 8-8 team in my division that I beat twice and had a worse division and conference record.

Yeah, it is seriously some chick standing next to a hot tub. I can't open the second picture you sent, so here is the order for tiebreaker for 3 or more teams:

1. Apply division tie breaker to eliminate all but the highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2.
2. Head-to-head sweep.
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.
5. Strength of victory.
6. Strength of schedule.

So I would say.. look at the conference records of the teams that remain after eliminating multiple teams from the same divisions. If you beat the team head-to-head that was awarded the wildcard, I am assuming there was no team that swept all of the other teams to advance per step 2.

It might be that do to the number of teams that finished 8-8, that there is a error in the selection process. You could email support AT solecismic.com. If you did beat that other 8-8 team in your division twice, which you stated you did, from what I see your team should be in the playoffs.
