TIE BREAKING PROCEEDURE
NOTE In 2 Set (game) matches, when each team wins 1 Set (game), there is NO direct winner. Points for and against for that match have no bearing on determining the final placing and is not considered a “match won”, unless the 2 teams are tied or three or more teams are tied and criteria “D” below in the tie breaking procedure (Points for and against for tied teams) is the determining method for breaking the tie.
APPLY THE FOLLOWING IN SEQUENTIAL ORDER
- Best ratio of Matches won and lost between the tied teams only.
- Best ratio of Sets (games) won and lost considering the matches only between the tied teams.
- Best ratio of Sets (games) won and lost considering the matches within the entire pool.
- Best ratio of points for and against considering the sets (games) among the tied teams.
- Best ratio of points for and against considering all sets (games) played among the entire pool.
- Coin toss.
- The above criteria is applied in sequence, and at no point should you restart the procedure. For example, teams A, B and C are tied. Team “C” is eliminated by criteria D, teams A and B and move to criteria E to break the tie, DO NOT return to criteria A.
Two teams tied: Score between the two tied teams ….. basically criteria D, E, F
