Tie-Breaker Rules:

When two (2) or more CEBL clubs are tied in the final conference standings at the conclusion of the regular season schedule, preferential ranking for playoff purposes shall be determined based on the following priorities and shall be awarded to the CEBL club which:

1. Has won the greater number of games played against the other tied CEBL Club; or
2. Has scored the higher net aggregate of points (i.e., points scored for less points scored against) in games played against the other tied CEBL Club; or
3. Has scored the higher net quotient of points (i.e., points scored for divided by points scored against) in games played against the other tied CEBL Club; or
4. Has scored the higher net aggregate of points in games played against all CEBL Clubs; or
5. Has scored the higher net quotient of points in games played against all CEBL Clubs; or
6. Has won a coin toss against the other tied CEBL Club.

In the event of a tie involving three (3) or more teams, the above tie-breaking criteria are applied one after another until all tied teams have been ranked. This means if the criteria from 1. above determines Team X as the higher seed and there is still a tie between teams Y and Z, then the ranking of the remaining teams will be determined by the criteria in 2. or 3. and so on, if necessary.
