Customizable tiebreakers

February 15, 2021-

New feature: customizable tiebreakers for where teams rank in the standings!

Previously tiebreakers were random. It's always a little frustrating to find yourself on the losing end of something and have the answer be "oh well it's just random". Makes you feel powerless. Especially in FBGM, where the last playoff team has a legitimate shot of winning a title.

In version 2021.02.15.1049 all leagues will be upgraded to the new default tiebreakers, which are:

BBGM tiebreakers
  1. Head-to-head record
  2. Division winner
  3. Division record (same div)
  4. Conference record (same conf)
  5. Margin of victory
  6. Coin flip
FBGM tiebreakers
  1. Head-to-head record
  2. Division record (same div)
  3. Common opponents record
  4. Conference record (same conf)
  5. Strength of victory
  6. Strength of schedule
  7. Margin of victory
  8. Coin flip

Additionally, when you view the standings, there is now a "Tiebreaker" column showing how ties were resolved. (Continue reading for more detail on this.)

And at Tools > League Settings, you can edit the "Tiebreakers" setting to apply any ordered combination of those tiebreakers in your league.
