Records vs. teams in descending order of standing;

if criteria 1 and 2 does not break the tie
a. for the final playoff position, a play-in game will be held. The Executive Director will conduct a coin flip to determine the site;
b. for other ties among playoff-bound teams, the Executive Director will conduct a coin flip to determine playoff position. In the event of multiple ties, a random drawing will be held for the playoff positions.
