Atlantic 10 Championship Tie-Breaker

The following tie-breaker format is utilized for determining the seeding in the Atlantic 10 Men’s Basketball Championship:

TWO-TEAM TIE

1. Head-to-head competition.

2. Conference record of the tied teams based on winning percentage

versus the highest common opponent and proceeding down to the

lowest common opponent, if necessary, until one team gains an

advantage.

a. All ties are broken in descending order.

b. When arriving at another pair of tied teams, use each team’s record

against the tied teams as a group. When comparing records against a

group of teams, the higher winning percentage will prevail. In case of

tied percentages vs. the team or group of 1.000 or .000, the following

shall apply: 2-0 is better than 1-0; 0-1 is better than 0-2.

3. Coin toss.

THREE-OR-MORE-TEAM TIE

1. Head-to-head competition.

a. Use each team’s record against the tied teams as a group rather than performance

against individual teams. When comparing records against

a group of teams, the higher winning percentage will prevail. In case of

tied percentages vs. the team or group of 1.000 or .000, the following

shall apply: 2-0 is better than 1-0; 0-1 is better than 0-2.

2. If the above results in two teams remaining, the two-team tiebreaker is used.

3. If more than two teams still remain, use the Conference record of the

tied teams based on winning percentage versus the highest common

opponent and proceeding down to the lowest common opponent, if

necessary, until one team gains an advantage.

a. All ties are broken in descending order.

b. When arriving at another pair of tied teams, use each team’s record

against the tied teams as a group. When comparing records against a

group of teams, the higher winning percentage will prevail. In case of

tied percentages vs. the team or group of 1.000 or .000, the following

shall apply: 2-0 is better than 1-0; 0-1 is better than 0-2.

3. Draw lots.

from the conf tourney standpoint. i actually like the way the above lays out. the later we have to play x or temple imo is good.

I'm confused. How do we go from "#3 St. Louis vs. Charlotte/Duquesne" to "St. Louis/GW/La Salle" ?

Guess thats just a mistake from when the last time it was updated. I just copy and pasted it from the guy who posted it on the A10 message board. I'll edit it though.
