Points Scored = Points scored during the regular season. Because there are bye weeks, this category (along with power points) will be adjusted during the season to account for average weeks and not total points. Power Points = Points earned based on strength of schedule. If a team wins, they earn the other team's power rating x 2. If a team ties, they earn the other team's powering rating x 1.5. If a team loses, they earn the other team's power rating x 1. (A forfeit victory is worth a total of 6 power points) Picks Record = Overall record of picking teams throughout the season. If teams are tied in these standings, the following criteria will be utilized: 1. If one team leads another team in 3 or more of the above categories, then the former team earns the tie breaker. 2. If #1 does not break the tie, then we will use the individual categories as tie breakers (in order) a. Record b. Power points c. Points scored d. Picks Record 3. If we remain tied, then the league will vote on the tie-breaker.
