When two (2) teams tie for a position:
SPECIAL NOTE: Once the pool winner has been determined, the tie between the remaining two teams shall be broken based on head-to-head competition (above).
Misunderstood Rule: This tiebreaker does NOT rank teams 1-2-3. The three-team tie is broken first, a Pool Winner is declared, and then the two-team tie is broken by the procedures listed above in the ‘Two-Team Tie’.
If one of the three teams is 2-0 in games against the other two teams, that team is the pool winner.
If all teams are 1-1 against each other, the team with the least number of runs allowed in games against each other is the pool winner. Games against teams not included in the tiebreaker are not counted. If two of the three teams tie with the least number of runs allowed, follow ‘Two-Team Tie’ procedures above.
If the three teams are still tied with least runs allowed after Step 2, the team with the least number of runs allowed in all pool games is the pool winner. If two of the three teams tie with the least number of runs allowed, follow ‘Two-Team Tie’ procedures above.
If all teams are 1-1 against each other, the team with the most runs scored in games against each other is the winner. Games against teams not included in the tiebreaker are not counted. If two of the three teams tie with the least number of runs allowed, follow ‘Two-Team Tie’ procedures above.
If the three teams are still tied with least runs allowed after Step 2, the team with the most runs scored in all pool games is the pool winner. If two of the three teams tie with the least number of runs allowed, follow ‘Two-Team Tie’ procedures above.
If it is necessary to determine the 2nd place team in the pool, the pool winner is dropped and the ‘Two-Team Tie’ procedure above applies.
A tie game is considered a 1/2 win and a 1/2 loss

Number of wins in all Pool Play games will be the first determining factor for the wild card berths.
