7.1.1 Tiebreakers for teams with identical records are thus: head to head record if any, then total points, then coin flip.

How do you manage head-to-head if more than two teams are tied?

Say teams A, B and C are tied. If A beat both B and C, that's the tiebreaker. If A beat B, but lost to C and C lost to B, then it'd be total points.

Same thing would apply with more than 3 teams: if one swept the others, that's that. If one lost to all the others he'd be out of the total points tiebreaker which the others would move forward to.

just trying to clear it up before we get to the end of the season, so in this specific case...
CODE
Franchise     W-L-T     Pct     GB     Strk     PF     Avg PF     PA     Avg PA     Div W-L-T     Conf W-L-T
The Messiah's      3-3-0    .500     3.0     W1     469.60     78.3     448.20     74.7     1-2-0    3-3-0
Lord Bill's      3-3-0    .500     3.0     W1     573.42     95.6     554.08     92.3     2-1-0    3-3-0
Crush Can      3-3-0    .500     3.0     L2     554.26     92.4     472.54     78.8     2-1-0    3-3-0

I don't remember who beat whom, but Messiah's Division record is 1-2 so he couldn't have swept both me and Crush Can Princess (still a great name).

Right now, it's irrelevant, but if there's an error today, it'll probably be the same error at playoff time.

Is the above standings correct and I'm not understanding the system or is there an error that needs to be addressed?

The standings aren't correct would be my guess. Who beat who in that trio?

Gotcha.

So how is it that the standings are the way they are?

Messiah beat CC (1-0)
Lord Bill has not played the other two (0-0)
CC lost to Messiah (0-1)

Seems to be working right to me ...

To me, that's flawed as it's not a round-robin competition, but I do see that every team plays each other once with a double-header in week 13... so it isn't relevant today.

Exactly. I was confused as well, but there's no way to know where you really stand until we get closer. At that point who you need to beat and who else needs to lose becomes much more chartable.
