Team a has highest point total and won against team d but lost to team b and c
Team b has 2nd highest point total but won against team a and won and lost to team c
Team c has 3rd highest point total has beaten and lost to team b and d but won against team a
Team d has 4th highest point total but beat team c and lost to team a and b.

Team c does not get in..

H2H*
Points for

Team d hasn't played a or b?
In this scenario seems like d would get left out having the least amount of points and lost to c h2h

Is your tie breaker division record or something?

Oops I fixed it tiger

Team d has beaten team c but lost team a & b

Tie breaker is
H2h
Total pts
Infra division
Total pts against.

Looks like the way it worked:
1. No team has h2h over all other tied teams, so it goes by points scored, which gets A in.
2. Once again, none of the 3 remaining teams have h2h over both of the other teams, so it goes by points scored, which gets B in.
3. Since D has h2h over C, they get in and C is left out.

make your own tie breaker rules before the season and edit the bracket.

You could do it by record against teams in the tie breaker.

Team B is 2-1 against the 4 teams in the tie breaker, they should be #1
Team C is 3-2 against the 4 teams, they should be #2
Team A beat team D, which both have 1-2 records against the 4 teams, they should be #3.

This kind of shite is only the tip of the ice berg as to why I hate ESPN fantasy. Sure, you can adjust various tie breakers, but so much of the other shite they do still doesn't make any sense.
