DDSPF is dumb, here's how I think the tiebreakers went down

SO you've probably seen now that despite being 3rd in the standings, Arizona is 4th in the playoff seeding and therefore not actually a playoff team.

This is dumb, but whatever. How did this happen? I think I may have figured it out.

Code:

4 WAY TIE BREAKER
Head to Head
SJS: 4-2 (2 wins over NOLA)
OCO: 3-3
NO:  2-4 (2 losses to SJS)
ARI: 3-3

SJS ADVANCE

--

3 WAY TIE BREAKER
Head to Head
OCO: 2-2
NO:  2-2
ARI: 2-2

CONF RECORD
OCO: 5-5
NO:  5-5
ARI: 4-6

POINTS FOR
OCO: 375
NO:  336
ARI: 348

OCO ADVANCE

--

2 WAY TIE BREAKER
Head to Head
NO:  1-1
ARI: 1-1

CONF RECORD
NO:  5-5
ARI: 4-6

NOLA ADVANCE

So, the regular standings page probably only tiebreaks by the first head to head and calls it a day, splitting any further ties by H2H/PF if necessary but just going with the overall order it started with. The playoff system seems to be only looking for the top team in each, and then starting over again.

Hope that makes sense. JK it doesn't but maybe this will clear things up.

Can you use code to make me happy again?

infinite, for playoff seeding i think it takes ARI and NOLA H2H which is 1-1 and then goes to conf record so NOLA is 5-5 and ARI is 4-6

but have you considered the possibility that after looking at the records ARI and NOLA have against each other and finding that insufficient to break the tie, it then compares the record each team has against the teams in their conference?

Expand the playoffs to 4 teams. Problem solved.

have you ever not scrolled down in the code, I have lol
