League tiebreaker information...
When ties in the final regular season standings occur, the following steps will be used to break these ties. These tiebreakers are only for tournament seeding purposes and will not affect the standings or the awarding of all-sports points.
1. Head-to-Head Competition
2. NPI (NCAA Power Index) Ranking as of 9am on the day following the conclusion of HCAC Regular Season play. (2026 Date = Thursday, February 19)
Tie Breaker Notes:
- If the final standings have more than one tie, then lower ties are resolved first.
- No tiebreaker is used for determination of regular season champion. Co-champions would be awarded if two teams have the same regular season conference record.
- If there are multiple ties for a position, the conference tie breaker process stated below will be used:
*“When there are a cluster of teams tied (3 or more), the selection/seeding process will first attempt to separate the tie by using head to head comparisons of the total number of wins and loses among those teams in the tie to emerge (produce a top team) from that cluster of teams. Once a team emerges from the initial tie the process will be repeated starting with head to head comparisons in order to resolve all remaining seeds. (Example: Three teams tied. Within the cluster the records reflect head to head results as follows: Team A 3-1; Team B 2-2; Team C 1-3. Team A would emerge and receive the top seed and the process of comparing head to head records would begin with the remaining ties. When two teams are tied or multiple ties cannot be broken using the aforementioned process the criteria from the specific sports guidelines would be applied and followed to emerge a team. Again, once a team emerges the process would be repeated from the start each time a team emerges until all seeds are resolved.”
