2023 Tom Henderson Tournament Standings - Preliminary Round

Tiebreaker - 4 way tie for teams at 2 points
Blue Jays, Rockets, The Navy Seals and Yankees

Rule 29.01 was applied to determine the final rankings:

Step 1 - The team with the best win/loss record in the game(s) played between the tied teams will place higher in the standings.

Blue Jays, Rockets and Yankees all had one win against teams within the four teams. The Navy Seals had no wins against teams within the four teams.

The Navy Seals are assigned to the 6th place position. The other three move to the next step.

 

Step 2 - If the tie persists, the placement of teams will be dictated by the ratio of number of runs allowed per defensive inning.

Note: for this tournament any game that is completed due to the mercy rule will not have that inning count for/against any team in this step.

Defensive Innings Played # runs Ratio
Blue Jays 6 6 1
Rockets 10 15 1.5
Yankees 10 10 1

The Rockets have the highest number of runs allowed per defensive inning and are assigned to the 5th place position. Blue Jays and Yankees have the same ratio and move to the next step.

 

Step 3 - If the tie persists, the placement of teams will be dictated by the ratio of runs scored per offensive inning.

Note: for this tournament any game that is completed due to the mercy rule will not have that inning count for/against any team in this step.

Offensive Innings Played # runs Ratio
