Scoring And Ranking: Breaking ties

When two teams have the same score, we use the following tiebreakers to choose a winner.

  1. Total salary. The team with the lower salary wins the comparison.
  2. Total tourney points. The team with more total points scored in all rounds of the tourney wins the comparison.
  3. Lineup submission time. The team that submitted its final lineup change earlier wins the comparison. For example, if you set your lineup change on Tuesday at 1 PM, your lineup submission time is 1 PM Tuesday. If you later change one player on Thursday at 3 PM, your lineup submission time becomes 3 PM Thursday.

    When your team advances from one round to the next, it keeps its lineup submission time from the previous round until you make another lineup change. So if you pass the lineup deadline without changing your team's lineup from the previous round, then your team's lineup submission time will remain the same from the previous round.
