PAC-12 TIEBREAKERS
Tiebreaking procedures for determining all Tournament seeding will be:
TWO-TEAM TIE
a. Results of head-to-head competition during the regular season.
b. Each team’s record (won-lost percentage) vs. the common opponent occupying the highest position in the final regular season standings, and then continuing down through common opponents in the standings until one team gains an advantage.
When arriving at another group of tied teams while comparing records, use each team’s record (won-lost percentage) against the collective tied teams common opponents as a group (prior to that group’s own tie-breaking procedure), rather than the performance against individual tied teams common opponents.
c. Won-lost percentage against all Division I opponents.
d. Coin toss conducted by the Commissioner or designee.
MULTIPLE-TEAM TIE
a. Results (won-lost percentage) of collective head-to-head competition during the regular season among the tied teams.
b. If more than two teams are still tied, each of the tied team’s record (won-lost percentage) vs. the team common opponent occupying the highest position in the final regular season standings, and then continuing down through common opponents in the standings, eliminating tied teams common opponents with inferior records until one team gains an advantage.
When arriving at another group of tied teams while comparing records, use each team’s record (won-lost percentage) against the collective tied teams common opponents as a group (prior to that group’s own tie-breaking procedure), rather than the performance against individual tied teams common opponents.
After one team has an advantage and is seeded, all remaining teams in the multiple-team tie-breaker will repeat the multiple-team tie-breaking procedure. When the multiple-team tie is reduced to two teams, the two-team tie-breaking procedures will be applied.
c. Winning percentage against all Division I opponents.
d. Coin toss conducted by the Commissioner or designee.
