What are the playoff tiebreakers?

Ties are solved by head-to-head records first. If there is still a tie, other factors are considered such as:

  • Record against other teams in their division
  • Record against other teams in their league, but outside their division
  • Record of last half of intraleague games
  • Record of last half of intraleague games plus one
