Game Tiebreakers

The game tiebreakers determine the order in which various criteria are applied to decide who wins a game if both teams' starting lineups have tied. The FantasyBowl.com system allows for four levels of configurable tiebreaking criteria.

Four levels of tiebreaking should be sufficient to break every possible tie. But if all four tiebreakers fail to break the tie, the victory will be given to the home team -- call it the home-field advantage. The FantasyBowl.com engine does not allow ties, so every game must resolve to a victory and a loss.

The tiebreaking options are listed here.
