Hopkins would be out in this tiebreaker then. Rutgers would be the 3 seed, and then Hopkins would lose the head-to-head to Ohio State (who would be the 4).AreaLax wrote: ↑Sun Apr 14, 2019 3:51 pm Big Ten Lacrosse Tie-Breakers
C. Each team’s Conference goal differential against tied teams (maximum of seven goals per game).
D. Each team’s Conference “goals for” against tied teams (maximum of seven goals per game).
E. Each team’s Conference “goals against” against tied teams (maximum of seven goals per game).
F. The highest overall RPI ranking amongst tied teams.
Note: Follow the appropriate steps in order. In the case of ties among three or more schools, the criteria will be used in order until a team or teams is separated from the pack. At that point, the process will begin anew to break the “new” tie. In other words, when a four-way tie becomes a three-way tie, the three-way tie is treated as a “new” tie and the process begins with the first tie-breaking criterion.
Rutgers: +7*, -2 = +5
Hopkins: +2, -1 = +1
Ohio State: -7*, +1 = -6
^ Rutgers is the #3 seed
Ohio State > Johns Hopkins (head-to-head) to earn the #4 seed.
