Head to Head Tie Breaker Logic
IFP Standard
Total matches won
12.C.3.a.
First tie-breaker: head-to-head matches won.
12.C.3.b.
Second tie-breaker: point differential of all games played.
(e.g., Team A won Match 1 11-8, 11-4, so they would have a point differential of +10.
Team A then wins the second match 11-9, 2-11, 11-6.
For this round, they would have a point 50 differential of -2.
This would give them a total for the day of +8.)
12.C.3.c.
Third tie-breaker: head-to-head point differential.
12.C.3.d.
Fourth tie-breaker: point differential against next-highest team. (e.g., If the teams are tied for second, use point differentials against the first-place team.)
