The tiebreaker in Fantasy Football is granted to the club having the highest overall matchup winning percentage against an opponent throughout the regular season. Head-to-head One victory and one point: During the regular season, the tiebreaker is granted to the club having the highest overall matchup winning % versus an opponent. In head-to-head situations during the regular season, if the opponents are tied at win shares, they will be awarded one point each; if they are still tied after that, the higher-seeded team gets the advantage in their next tiebreaking situation.
For example, Team A beats Team B by 1 game to 1, with both teams earning 0.500 match wins percent. Since they are equal in win shares, we would give them both one point for reaching the end of the season with at least 2 games left to play. Then, we would use our next tiebreaking method - seedings - to decide who gets the advantage in their next matchup between Team C and D.
In this case, since Team A has the higher seed, they get the advantage in their next matchup between Team C and D.
Finally, here are some more examples using these concepts: If two teams are tied at four victories through six games, the team with the better record in its last three games will usually claim the tiebreak over the team with fewer losses.
Head-to-Head: In Fantasy Baseball, Basketball, and Hockey, the club with the most stat category victories, not the total matchup wins and losses, wins the tiebreaker. It's possible for two clubs to be tied based on their record but have different winning percentages against common opponents; in this case, the club with the higher ranking goes into the tiebreaker first.
For example, let's say that you are playing against someone who has a 90 percent win rate against the AFC West teams and that you have a 95 percent win rate against the NFC East teams. If your team had the same number of wins as them, you would both have 5-5-1 records. However, I have beaten the AFC West teams more times than they have beaten the NFC East teams, so I would rank above them.
The tiebreaker formula is simple: divide the number of games played by the number of games won plus one if there is still a divisional lead to determine which club comes first in the tiebreaker list. For example, if my team had a winning percentage of.600 while yours was only at.500, I would have won more games than you during the season even though we had the same number of wins. I would therefore move ahead of you in the tiebreaker list because I had a better record against stronger opposition.
Explained are the tiebreaker rules. When two teams end the regular season with the same record, the team with the higher winning percentage in head-to-head meetings wins the tiebreaker. Following that, the tiebreaker would be awarded to the team with the higher winning % in all games among the tied clubs. If both teams have an equal winning percentage in all games, then the order in which they played each other during the season determines the winner of the tiebreaker.
Example: The regular season ended with Team A having a.500 win-loss record and Team B with a.500 record. In all their games together, Team A had a winning percentage of.500 while Team B's was also.500. Since they had identical records, they would finish the season as if it were a tie. As soon as one team wins more games than the other team, they will advance over the other team and take home the prize!
The first game between the two teams to conclude will determine which team moves on in the tournament. If the two teams remain tied after playing each other, then the tiebreaker procedure continues until there is a winner or there is no winner. For example, in the 2015 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, eight teams remained tied following the first round of games. The Louisville Cardinals, Florida Gators, Michigan Wolverines, North Carolina Tar Heels, Syracuse Orange, Texas Longhorns, Wisconsin Badgers, and Ole Miss Rebels all had identical 4-4 records.
