flgator Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 So, in my league, 2 people tied. ESPN gave the Win to Team A and the loss to Team B. I'm not sure how it decided that, especially when Team B had more bench points? I've attached a screen shot. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimmytose Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 From the ESPN site, I see the following options: Regular Season Tiebreakers If a matchup in the regular season ends in a tie, ESPN gives the League Manager several options to break the tie and award a win: Can leave the matchup as a tie Home team wins the matchup The team with the most bench points wins the matchup (Note: This is your entire bench combined, not just a single player with the most points) The team with the most QB points wins the matchup The team with the most RB points wins the matchup The team with the most WR points wins the matchup Looks like it depends on what your league commish set it for. Here's the link, hopefully this doesn't break posting rules. I'll remove if so. https://support.espn.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003870271-Regular-Season-Tiebreakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Obviously total bench points isn't the tie breaker being used. Never played on ESPN but I'd expect somewhere on your league site you can view the rules and settings and see how ties are resolved. My first guess looking at the picture was "highest scoring single player", but that doesn't appear to be an option. We just added fractional scoring this year, amazing to still see the occasional tie with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgator Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 Thanks for the showing the setting for this. I had none set, so I'm still wondering how it chose a winner instead of it being a tie. I sent the league an email to vote on what they want the setting to be in the future. Thanks!

squirrelmastr21 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 were you able to make it a tie? A tie for regular season is okay but you will need a tiebreaker for playoffs correct? I never liked total bench points. Not fair to get a loss if you have more guys on bye or don't roster backup QBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are you the commissioner? (I ask because you said "I had none set".) Have you tried contacting ESPN to see why they broke a tie if you had no tie breaker specified? I figured this was some online league where nobody knows each other and there is no human commissioner. Agree with the last post, don't like bench points, when we used to be more concerned about ties we had each team designate their tie breaker player. Now we allow ties, if one occurs in the playoffs the owners need to work it out (who moves on, how they split the money, etc.) or we have a coin flip. Since we use fractional scoring we hope to never see a tie in playoffs, we had 1-2 per regular season before that, and I think it happened once in the playoffs.

seahawk3133 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I was in a league where in case of tie - team with highest scoring player got the win.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgator Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 I am the commish. I just posted the question on ESPN's Fantasy Twitter page. I will keep you informed if they come back with an answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indyrckstar Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 This is puzzling. I was thinking ESPN might have players score to be 1/100th but only shows score to be 1/10th of a point. So while the score says 126.5 for each team. It might be like 126.54 for team A vs 126.52 for team B. If not that reasoning, I got nothing....

flgator Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 SOLVED: So I finally heard back from ESPN, I can't believe it was this hard to find. Apparent'y instead of just putting the actual decimal points in the score, they instead round up and that's why they are exact. So you have to hover the mouse over the individual scores and then the actual decimal point score will pop up. So the person won by a fraction of a decimal.

Def. Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I'm amazed you actually heard back from ESPN more than anything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowman Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) Manually calculate the points. I bet QB yards have a second decimal place and ESPN is only showing the first decimal place. This happened in my league a few years back. Edit - sorry, if I actually read the whole thread I'd see you solved this.
