I just threw it up there as a way to see who was making the playoffs more than for actual seeding. I'll try to take a look at the generator it has a trillion options I'm sure it does that somewhere I'm just not sure where. If you can see where it does that I'd be more than happy to update the code for that.

Also I added some clarification to the constitution and removed the conference references since that doesn't apply to our league.

Send me the code in email and I'll take a look at it. I'll figure out which number is power rank and send you the update.

By the way, from what I can see you'll need to modify the toilet bowl brackets as teams aren't ordered by power rank.
Like from what I can tell the play-in game should actually be Degenerates and Danger Zone and the Pigskins are out because all 3 are tied and the Pigskins have the lowest power rank. Unless I'm missing something obviously.

I'll double check those match ups but currently when 3 or more teams are tied, the first tiebreaker is H2H record in games played against each other. Power rank is the second tiebreaker, in that scenario.

braven112 wrote:Yeah there really isn't a perfect way to set the habman module up, I added a disclaimer to the code, the main thing it does is is give us a good idea of who's in and who's out but its not perfect.

The way the 3 team tie is broken is as follows.

Rule #1 is ties are always broken inside the division first so in this case we have Degenerates, Dangerzone and Pigskins. Since Degenerates and Dangerzone are in the same division we'll use the 2 team division tiebreakers for these two teams first. In this case the H2H record for these is 2-0 in favor of the Degenerates. The second tiebreaker would have been power rank also won by Degenerates but we didn't need to go that far,

Now that we have 2 teams we go down the list and power rank is the tiebreaker Degenerates has the better Power Ranks so he wins and that leaves us the following

#8 seed Degenerates
#9 seed Pacific Pigskins
#10 seed is Dangerzone

When the first Wild-Card team has been identified, the procedure is repeated to name the second Wild-Card, i.e., eliminate all but the highest-ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. In situations where three or more teams from the same division are involved in the procedure, the original seeding of the teams remains the same for subsequent applications of the tie breaker if the top-ranked team in that division qualifies for a Wild-Card berth.

I guess you are right since we would start over once we determine the #8 seed. I'll have to add that last paragraph to our constitution. Good god this can get pretty convoluted.

Pass me a damn beer!!
