Season ends in 3-way tie confusion. Help me understand.
Scenario:
3 teams in (P418) finish the season with a record of: 105-57 Team A: Has a better record vs Team B and Team C Team B: Has a better record vs Team C How it played out for each team: Team A Plays Team B and wins Then plays Team C and loses Then has to play Team B again and loses (and is out of the playoffs) Team B Plays Team A and loses Plays Team A again and wins (is in the WC spot) Team C Plays Team A and wins (is in the playoffs and division crowned) Messages during this 3 game playoff per team: Team A: Informed they clinched the division Informed they clinched the WC Informed they were eliminated (after the 2 messages above) Team B: Informed they were eliminated Informed they clinched the WC Team C: Informed they clinched the WC Informed they clinched the division. All in all it was a very confusing ending. I understand the messaging is probably a bug but would like to hear how this is intended to work and what the process of elimination is. I thought Team A after winning the first game (and having a better record vs the other teams) should have been guaranteed at least a WC but after 2 different messages of being informed they'd be in the playoffs they end up being eliminated. If any additional info is needed just let me know. For the record, I am Team C so while it's nice to clinch the division...I'd like to know how/why? Thanks.

Not sure how it is supposed to work either but I had the same thing happen to me a few seasons ago.
I went to bed after getting a message that I had clinched the division after winning the tie breaker. Woke up to find I was a wild card (if I remember correctly, both runner ups qualified as wild card). And of course I lost the wild card game. I believe I was like team A. Won the first game and lost the second two. |

Obviously a bug that should be reported. No way Team A should play 3 games.
Three-Club Tie for Division Championship & One Wild Card Spot: After Clubs have been assigned their A, B and C designations, Club A would host Club B. The winner of that game would then host Club C to determine the Division Champion. The loser of the game would be declared the Wild Card Club.

We run separate tiebreakers for division and WC. So basically there's a 3-way tie for the division, then a separate 2-way tie for the WC. By your accounts team A should have had the "bye" in the first set, so that may be something we need to double check.

Alright. As far as I know, if you're talking about the calendar they do add all additional games. Could have been one of those why don't we just flip a coin? or it could have been the Wild Card game as my playoffs series were added to the end of my regular season results.
