Here are the tiebreakers we have thus far. The parity in divisions is crazy, and most divisions will come down to the final games:

Division 1:
Peg City vs Rebellion (seeds yet to be determined)

Division 2:
Guild of Calamitous Intent (1) vs Kings (2)

Division 3: Nothing decided - this could be the best division in football right now! First to last place will most likely be separated by just 2 points!

Division 4: Gamecocks (1) bye; Young Guns (2) bye; everything else is not set in the division

Division 5: Nothing decided

Division 6: Nothing decided

Division 7: Nothing decided

Division 8: Nothing decided

Division 9:
Boltz (1) vs Dirty Vikings (4)
Suckskatchewan (2) vs North End Hawkeyes (3)
Boltz and Suckskatchewan hadn't played against each other this season. As such, overall points for/against were used as the tiebreaker, with the Boltz winning out.

Coed Division 1: Nothing decided

Coed Division 2: Nothing decided

5v5 Division 1:
Big Baller Brand (1) bye
Sonic Youth (2) vs United Nations (3)

5v5 Division 2:
Fake TDs, No Punts (1) bye; TunAsub (2) bye; everything else undecided

5v5 Division 3: Nothing decided

5v5 Division 4: Nothing decided

As games are completed over the next three days we will be updating tiebreakers and adding games to the playoff schedule.

So after another 8 games on Monday night...there isn't much to report. All we know is the playoff brackets for Coed. Division 1 will be the Connor McDavids, Sofa King, Things and Stuff, and Running Pylons. Division 2 will consist of Call Ur Mom, This Ain't Soccer, Medical Whiskey, and 0-10. However, we don't know the seeding of those teams as of yet!

Only 14 games remain in the regular season, yet the only divisions decided are Divisions 2 and 9. The other 13 divisions depend on what happens in those 14 games. Unreal.

In Div 3, Monstars defeated Strange Brew in a nail biter last night.

Can you please confirm that the tiebreaker results mean that Strange Brew & Enforcers will play the 4v5 game on Friday?

Thanks!
GE

Last night of football! The parity this season was unreal, and here is how the divisions played out!

Division 1:
Peg City (1) vs Rebellion (2)
Peg City and Rebellion finished the season 2-2 versus one another. Plus/Minus in head-to-head games was used as the tiebreaker with Peg City taking the coveted #1 seed in the top division with a plus/minus of +14 (average margin of victory in those four games was only 3.5 points). Championship game is the tiebreaker!

Division 2:
Guild of Calamitous Intent (1) vs Kings (2)
The rivalry continues, with the final game of the season between these two very evenly matched teams resulting in a tie game! The tie gets broken on championship night.

Division 3:
Monstars (1) vs winner of Strange Brew (4)/Enforcers (5)
Blount Force (2) vs Rebels (3)
A three-way tie for third through fifth. Rebels take the third seed due to their better plus/minus in head-to-head games among those three teams. Strange Brew then takes the fourth spot by virtue of defeating the Enforcers in both head-to-head meetings this summer.

Division 4:
Gamecocks (1) and Young Guns (2) byes
Gym Glass Heroes (3) vs Nasty Boyz (6)
North Bay Summer Squad (4) vs Blue Balls (5)

Division 5:
North Bay Panthers (1) and The Rigs (2) byes
Running Riot (3) vs Ricky Spanish (6)
Past Our Primetime (4) vs Fail Mary (5)
Running Riot and Past Our Primetime split their season series, however Running Riot had the better plus/minus in those head-to-head games, giving them the third seed.

Division 6:
Loose Cannons (1) and Feeling Dangerous (2) byes
Necessary Roughness (3) vs Gotham Knights (6)
Down to Football (4) vs Post Dig Picks Route (5)
Feeling Dangerous and Necessary Roughness tied in the standings and split their two games. When head-to-head plus/minus was factored in, we still didn't break the tie as both teams were dead even. Overall points/for and against was used to break the tie and Feeling Dangerous earns the second seed, and the bye...by just 1 point! Perhaps the most closely contested tiebreaker by two teams in PIT history!

Division 7:
Blouses (1) bye
Bleue's Clueless (2) vs Bullet Club (7)
The Wickermen (3) vs Boozers (6)
Andriys Dream Team (4) vs Razorbacks (5)
The Dream Team take the fourth seed due to their head-to-head victory over Razorbacks during the regular season.

Division 8:
Kraken (1) vs Glue Factory (4)
Cobras (2) vs Blast From the Past (3)
Cobras receive the second seed due to their regular season head-to-head victory over Blast from the Past.

Division 9:
Boltz (1) vs Dirty Vikings (4)
Suckskatchewan (2) vs North End Hawkeyes (3)
Boltz and Suckskatchewan hadn't played against each other this season. As such, overall points for/against were used as the tiebreaker, with the Boltz winning out.

Coed Division 1:
Connor McDavids (1) vs Running Pylons Senior (4)
Sofa Kings (2) vs Things and Stuff (3)
Sofa Kings and Things and Stuff somehow didn't play each other, so overall plus/minus was used as the tiebreaker with Sofa King grabbing the second seed as a consequence.

Coed Division 2:
Call Ur Mom (1) vs 0-10 (4)
This Ain't Soccer (2) vs Medical Whiskey (3)
Medical Whiskey takes the third seed due to their head-to-head victory over 0-10 during the regular season.

5v5 Division 1:
Big Baller Brand (1) bye
Sonic Youth (2) vs United Nations (3)

5v5 Division 2:
Fake TDs, No Punts (1) bye; TunAsub (2) bye
Moneyball (3) vs The Real Deadbeats (6)
Buns a Glazing (4) vs MegaPowers (5)
MegaPowers takes fifth spot by defeating the Real Deadbeats head-to-head during the regular season.

5v5 Division 3:
Ferda Boyz (1) vs Trigger Happy Bunnies (4)
Huddle Buddies (2) vs Beerguts (3)

5v5 Division 4:
