2.2.2   Standings and Tiebreakers

Standings will be based on winning percentages with ties decided by
tiebreakers or a one-game playoff.  The IBL will use a one game playoff
when a playoff spot is at stake between the teams that are tied. 
Tiebreakers will be used when all the teams that are tied are guaranteed
a playoff spot.

Tiebreakers are used to determine home field advantage or to sort teams
into division winner and wild card(s).  The tiebreaker for division
winner is determined prior to resolving any other tiebreakers. 
Tiebreakers are based upon winning percentage.

The tiebreaker order is: 
1) head-to-head record (round-robin record if 3+ teams)
2) division record (conference record when teams are not in same
division)
3) road record
4) coin flip

In case of complicated tie-breaking situations not covered by the
Constitution, the Commissioner is empowered to craft an equitable
tie-breaking system which would allow all teams an opportunity to make
the playoffs.
