Missouri Valley FB Tiebreaker
 Note: The following tiebreaking policy was approved in February 2011 and is subject to further review prior to 2012 when an adjusted tiebreaker will be needed to accommodate tiebreaking in the event tied teams do not play each other.

In the event of a tie for the MVFC Championship, the following procedures will be used to break all ties to determine the league’s NCAA tournament representative:

TWO TEAMS ARE TIED
1. In there is a two-team tie following the round-robin results and the two tied teams played each other, the winner of the game will be declared champion.

2. If the tied teams did not play each other, then each team’s record against all common opponents in the league will be used to determine the automatic bid.

3. If the teams are still tied, then each team’s record against the next highest common opponent in the league standings will be used to determine the automatic bid.

4. If the teams are still tied, the latest available GPI ranking prior to NCAA selection shall be used as the final tiebreaker.

THREE TEAMS ARE TIED
1. If at any point, a tie is broken using the multiple-tie tiebreaker procedures and only two teams remain, the remaining teams will revert to the two-way tiebreaker (head-to-head).

2. If the tied teams all played one another, the team with the best cumulative record involving games with the tied teams shall be declared champion. For example, if a team is 2-0 against two other tied teams, that team will be declared champion.

3. If the tied teams all played one another and have identical records against the other tied teams, then each team’s record against all common opponent s in the league will be used to determine the automatic bid. If teams are still tied, then each team’s record against the next highest common opponent in the league standings will be used to determine the automatic bid.

4. If the tied teams did not play each other, then each team’s record against all common opponent s in the league will be used to determine the automatic bid. If the teams are still tied, and they did not play each other, then each team’s record against the next highest common opponent in the league standings will be used to determine the automatic bid.

5.If the teams are still tied, the latest available GPI ranking prior to NCAA selection shall be used as the final tiebreaker.
