Another Juicy Tie-breaker?

I voted and I liked the question about the show in Vegas... actually the answer I picked rather than the question. I hope it was yours but the answer I pcked was the detailed one that spoke of the show being kid-friendly, I think it's important to let people know that just in case there are children.

There are tie breakers in place.  The first is record, the second is divisional, the third is who won the head to head match-up the forth is record against common opponents and the fifth is points scored and the sixth is points scored against common opponents.\n\nNot positive but I think that's how it goes.

"Best" is relative...\nJust pick mine!

First Tie Breaker is division head to head then conference head to head then total points scored, then total points scored in common opponent games.  There is a 1 in 4 Billion chance that it would need to go further than that.

It depends on how the league is set up.  In my Yahoo leagues it is set by record.  The first tie breaker is total season points.  I havent had to go past this point yet but i would imagine that it would be head-to-head record.

In http://eur.i1.yimg.com/eur.yimg.com/i/eu/fifa/regen.pdf , on page 41 it notes the tie-break rules. It seems that in the case of all matches finishing 0-0, (or 1-1, 2-2,... but *not* mixtures of these drawn scores - as goals scored / conceded may then play a part) then the drawing of lots decides the teams goig through, so basically shortest straw wins

Well, we'll need to be in the top 2 of 4 in our group, which is looking difficult.  At this point, tying Italy isn't bad, but we'll need to beat Ghana in our next game to actually have a shot.  Assuming Ghana loses all of its games from now on and Italy loses or ties, we might have a shot.  I believe if teams are tied for points they look at goals scored, so having a good scoring game for our last match would help a lot.  All in all, the odds are bleak, but, like most other sports, anyone has a shot.

The VP is a tiebreaker and since it is DeadEyeDick, a tie goes to the party in power.\n\nWith the Dems taking 51%, if it goes right down party lines, the Dems win (unless Liebermann shifts sides, then it goes back to the GOP)

I don't think anyone has answered the question yet, but I think a three way tie for the most Super Bowls is nice. That makes it competitive.

Germany. Or Costa Rica. Or could be a tie.

Yeah, I saw those once, and wanted to post, but figured it would be deleted.\n\nGaming for points under the community guidelines.  AND someone may have it in for you in reporting it.\n\nYou could probably get away with it if you don't flaunt it so much as a closest wins.  You ask who do you think will win these games - seems to me a legitimate question.  And picking the closest to actual results seems to me the best answer.  Just don't say congratulations or your the winner, etc.

Something that is worth 5 points.

I thought the third tie breaker after goal differential was PK's, even if they happen the next day.\n\nA three-way tie in one group is pretty unlikely, has that ever happened?  Some soccer expert out there-----help!\n-------------------------------------------\nI found it--4 hours later!\n \nArticle 31 First round (groups) \n1. The 32 teams taking part in the fi nal competition will be divided into \neight groups of four teams each. \n2. The Organising Committee for the FIFA World Cup™ will divide the \nteams into groups by seeding and drawing lots in public, whilst taking \nsports, geographic and economic factors into consideration, as far as \npossible. \n3. The teams in the eight groups will be designated as follows: \nGroup A Group B Group C Group D \nA 1 B 1 C 1 D 1 \nA 2 B 2 C 2 D 2 \nA 3 B 3 C 3 D 3 \nA 4 B 4 C 4 D 4 \nGroup E Group F Group G Group H \nE 1 F 1 G 1 H 1 \nE 2 F 2 G 2 H 2 \nE 3 F 3 G 3 H 3 \nE 4 F 4 G 4 H 4 \n4. The system of play will be the league system, each team playing one \nmatch against each of the other teams in the same group, with three \npoints for a win, one point for a draw and none for a defeat. \n5. The ranking of each team in each group will be determined as \nfollows: \na) greatest number of points obtained in all group matches; \nb) goal difference in all group matches; \nc) greatest number of goals scored in all group matches. \nIf two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria, \ntheir rankings will be determined as follows: \nd) greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;\n\ne) goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned;\n\nf) greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned;\n\ng) drawing of lots by the Organising Committee for the FIFA World Cup™.\n\nThe two teams coming first and second in each group qualify for the second round.
