If two teams are tied from regular season conference play, tie-breaker procedures will be:

  • Head to head in regular season conference play.
  • If the two teams have split, margin of victory between the two teams, with a maximum of 10 points per game.
  • If the two teams are still tied, all winning conference game points, with a maximum of 10 points per game.
  • Forfeited games. Offended teams shall receive 10 points when tabulating the sum of the winning margins for breaking conference ties.
  • If the two teams are still tied, a coin flip by the Arkansas Activities Association's Executive Director or his designee will decide seeding.

If three or more teams are in a tie from regular season conference play, tie-breaker procedures will be:

  • Head-to-head competition
  • If a team has been defeated by one of the other teams twice (or once when a single round robin is used), they will be eliminated.
  • If two teams remain, the teams would go to step two listed above in Paragraph A.
  • If step two does not break the tie, step three would follow, then step four, then five. If three teams remain, the teams would go to Paragraph C.

If three or more teams are tied and each team has split (or a perfect triangle), each position will be decided using the two team tie-breaking procedure in Paragraph A to determine which two teams go head to head for the first available position. First, tabulate the margin of victory in all conference games (up to 10 points per game). The two teams with the greatest margin of victory in conference games shall utilize the procedure in Paragraph A to determine the first position available. Use the same process to determine the second position available and all other positions available for the teams involved in a three or more team perfect triangle tie.
