There has been some confusion on how the Divisional Standings are calculated for Pinto, Mustang and Bronco. Whether to use a point system such as 2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie and no points for a loss or overall winning percentage. Although both systems can be used, our rules are very clear that we use "Winning Percentage." Winning Percentage will be calculated using the following formula: (Wins + ties/2) / (Wins + ties + losses)
Below is an excerpt from our Rules Of Operations which explains tie breaking procedures as well. Hope this helps.
This is taken from the Bronco Section but applies to Mustang and Pinto as well. However, all teams make the playoffs for each division.
7.1.11
The six teams with the highest winning percentages at the conclusion of this phase will advance to the playoffs. These six teams will be seeded according to their relative winning percentages (i.e. highest winning percentage is seeded #1, second highest is seeded #2,etc.). In the event of a tie for any position from first to sixth, the following tiebreaker will apply:
1. H ighest winning percentage versus team(s) at the tie point. (head to head)
2. H ighest winning percentage versus team(s) above the tie point.
3. Coin flip.
