Anthracite Curling Club Official Tie-Breakers for Round Robin Standings

 

For ties between two (2) teams

Step 1. Head-to-head result.

For ties between three or more  (3+) teams

Step 1. Record amongst tied teams: Head-to-head sweep (Team advances) / Swept head-to-head (Team is eliminated)

Step 2. Strength of victory overall: Lowest is eliminated OR Highest is advanced

Step 3. Draw to button amongst tied teams: Called-Swept-Measured-Removed, Farthest is eliminated OR Nearest is advanced

Repeat process as necessary.

Head-to-head result shall always determine entrants in event finals.

Example 1: Three teams finish tied for first.  They have identical 1-1 records vs each other.  In this case, the highest-SOV team receives the 1 seed, and the head-to-head result between the other two teams determines which team shall advance to the Championship.

Example 2: Three teams finish tied for second.  They have identical 1-1 records vs each other.  In this case the lowest-SOV team receives the 4 seed, and the head-to-head result between the other two teams determines which team shall advance to the Championship.

Example 3: Three teams finish tied for third.  They have identical 1-1 records vs each other and identical SOVs.  A draw to the button amongst the tied teams shall be held.  The team with the stone nearest the button receives the 3 seed, and the head-to-head result between the other two teams determines which team shall play in the Second Event Final.

Example 4: Three teams finish tied for fourth.  They have identical 1-1 records vs each other and identical SOVs.  A draw to the button amongst the tied teams shall be held.  The team with the stone farthest from the button receives the 6 seed, and the head-to-head result between the other two teams determines which team shall play in the Second Event Final.
