Once a team is seeded via the following tie-breaker, the formula will repeat itself from the beginning to determine any additional seeding for the tournament due to ties in the divisional standings. The formula will be used to break the highest-seeded tie first according to the divisional standings).

1. Head to head
2. Use the divisional won/loss percentage
3. Head to head competition of descending divisional teams (won/ loss record against teams who finished highest in standings)
4. Point rating system – divisional games only
