I know its a long shot, but Houston has only 3 games left, San Fran and Chicago have 4 and if they all win their remaining games, they will all finish with identical records.

How is this situation going to be handled come monday? anyone know the tiebreaker format?

I don't know if they've had the drawings yet, but I think two teams play, and the winner gets to play at home against the team the draws a bye.

i found the answer...


If the three tied clubs have identical records against one another in the regular season, the Office of the Commissioner shall supervise a draw that results in the clubs being designated Club A, Club B and Club C.


If the tied clubs do not have identical records against one another in the champoinship season, they will be designated Club A, Club B and Club C based on their records in head-to-head competition during the championship season as follows:

If Club 1 has a better record against each of Clubs 2 and 3, and Club 2 has a better record against Club 3, then Club 1 shall choose a designation as Club A, Club B or Club C. Club 2 shall choose a designation from the remaining two designations, and Club 3 shall be assigned the remaining designation.

If Club 1 has a better record against each of Clubs 2 and 3, and Club 2 and Club 3 have the same record against each other, then Club 1 shall choose a designation as Club A, Club B or Club C. The Office of the Commissioner shall supervise a draw between Clubs 2 and 3, the winner of which shall choose one of the remaining two designations. The remaining club shall be assigned the remaining designation.

If Club 1 and Club 2 have the same record against each other but each has a better record against Club 3, then the Office of the Commissioner shall supervise a draw between Clubs 1 and 2, the winner of which shall choose a designation as Club A, Club B or Club C. The club losing the draw shall choose a designation from the remaining two designations. Club 3 shall be assigned the remaining designation.

If Club 1 has a better record against Club 2, Club 2 has a better record against Club 3, and Club 3 has a better record against Club 1, then the three clubs shall be ranked on the basis of overall winning percentage within that three-club group, and the club with the highest winning percentage from among that three-club group shall have first choice among designations as Club A, Club B or Club C. The club with the next-highest winning percentage among the group shall have the next choice between the two remaining designations, and the club with the lowest winning percentage shall be assigned the remaining designation. If two or more of the clubs within this three-club group have the same winning percentage among the group, the Office of the Commissioner shall supervise a draw between the clubs so tied to determine priority of selection among the designations. Club A shall play Club B at the ballpark of Club A on Monday. The following day, the winner of the first game shall be the home club in a second game against Club C. The winner of the game between Club C and the club that won the Club A-Club B game shall be declared the division champion.

Brock, that's what I found also...and applying that to Chicaho, Houston and SF would give SF the adbantage as they beat both teas head-to-head. Chi has a 10-9 advantage over Houston so they would host Houston. The winner of Chi/Hou would then host SF.
