End of season tiebreaker system has been argued in our league for a while. Here’s this year’s scenario:

Team A, B, and C tied for last playoff spot.

Team A is 1-1 vs B/C, 1st in total points
Team B is 0-2 vs B/C, 2nd in total points
Team C is 2-0 vs B/C, 3rd in total points

The question is: should total points or head to head matter more when determining the tiebreaker?

Our league is points. I like it based on points

Points should be the only thing that matters in a tie breaker

I prefer the heads up model like in real football. But our league its based of the highest points.

Total points makes significantly more sense to me because bye weeks are random. If you played someone a week where two of your best players were on bye, but were better the rest of the season that feels like an unfair penalty IMO.

Total points. Anyone can have a big week or a down week due to injuries, byes, etc.
