Carolina - 14-2
Minnesota - 14-2
Philadelphia - 14-2


Carolina beat both Minnesota & Philadelphia in the regular season. Why are those two teams getting the 1st Rd byes & Carolina has to play the Wildcard game?!

Did Minnesota play against Philadelphia in the regular season? If not, the wins for the Panthers doesn't count for the tie breaker. Then I think counts the common games record (or the conference record?).

You're not JDB. I want an answer from JDB.

Actually the rule applies if one team swept both others or lost to both others. No mention is made of all teams needing to play each other.

I had a similar situation in another league here and PM'd JDB. I was told I got in based on net points and I'm willing to bet CR gets the same answer.

I've sent a PM. These tiebreaker rules should be available for us to read.
