America East Tiebreak Procedures
Ties for championship seeding will be broken from the top of the standings down. In the event of a tie between two or more teams, the tie shall be broken using the following criteria in order:
(a) Winning percentage in conference games versus the other teams with which it is tied (i.e., head-to-head-competition).
(b) Winning percentage in conference games versus the other conference opponents in descending rank order. In the event of arriving at another group of tied teams (i.e., teams with identical records yet to be broken by tie break) when comparing records, each team’s record (winning percentage) versus the tied teams is used rather than the performance versus the individual tied teams.
(c) Winning percentage in conference road games. In the event a conference game was played on a neutral court, the team awarded the home game by the conference office when the schedule was issued is considered the home team.
(d) Better NCAA Evaluation Tool (NET) ranking through end of conference regular-season games.
(e) Draw conducted by the Commissioner or his/her/their designee.
Note: Once a tie is broken among three or more teams, immediately return to (a) to break the tie between the remaining teams.
