Request For: Pro Baseball
Request Title: Tiebreaker In Playoff Race Page
Description
One of the most confusing parts for coaches is that they are u aware of standard ranking as the tiebreaker.
Is it possible to have final season standings reflect the tiebreaker result? Most recent example in MEL where three teams tied for 2nd wildcard, the team listed above the playoff cutoff line is not in the playoffs due to tie breaker and the team listed at the bottom of the 3 with the same record made it in.
Drives a lot of confused PR and emails to commissioners

Status: Completed (last updated Mar 13 18:42:25 2020 )
Priority: Short Term

Admin Notes
To be consistent with how teams are selected, the pro baseball "playoff race" page has been corrected to remove head-to-head as a tiebreaker between division winners and between potential wildcard teams. The ranking will be based solely on records, with computer ranking as the tiebreaker.

Dave Jenson (Feb 24 11:44:06 2020 ): the team listed above the playoff cutoff line is not in the playoffs: That was my Minnesota Twins in MEL, so naturally I figured I was the second wild card. Games ran and Seattle was the second wild card yet listed under myself and Detroit in the standings.
