Tiebreakers

[wiggleman83]

I thought I had tiebreakers figured out until I ended up in this situation. How does the 4th place team not beat the 3rd place team on tiebreakers? They have more ROW, more overall wins, although there are no shootouts in this league so that's the same number, and a better goal differential.

I don't know what league this is or how this works in FHM but in the NHL irl, there is now a category of RW (regulation wins) that comes before ROW. So regulation > overtime > shootout.

Yeah, I think it depends on the league setup, but just looking at this, it seems the only way the 3rd place team could get the nod is if the AI is sorting on fewer losses and more ties. In other words, team three got points out of 24 games whereas team four only got points in 23 games. Thereby team three would have a higher ratio of games with points earned.

Not that I've ever heard of such a tie break, but that'd be my best guess.

Or maybe it's just a glitch?

You may be right. It could be a points percentage thing.
