In the absence of three days to finish the regular series of the 2020-2021 autumn-winter tournament, there are four teams with options to qualify, either directly or by forcing a mini-series agreed to 3-2.

 

Giants and Stars are 13-13 and the Chosen 14-16. Licey is last with 11-16. The Francomacorisans have a run differential (ratio between scored and allowed) of +18, the greens of +12, the reds of -7 and the blues of -14.

 

In the event that the difference between fourth and fifth place is less than three matches, a series will have to be played with a maximum of three matches.

 

Faced with such a closed scenario, Lidom sent an explanation on how the teams would be defined in the event of ties, which DL reproduces below.

 

When three (3) teams are tied for wins and losses when determining fourth place, the winner will be decided by the BYE system. Always using the particular series or the "General Run Average", to determine how the teams are going to face.

 

When four (4) teams are tied in wins and losses at the time of determining third place, the positions will be decided by the "General Run Average", playing in the order of ranked one (1) with four (4) and two (2) with three (3) on the same day. The two (2) winners get their pass to the Semifinal Series.

 

The venue for all tiebreaker games will be determined by the particular series of the teams involved. In the event of a tie for said Series, the “General Run Average” will be decided.

 

In the event that the calculation of the “General Run Average” is equal between two (2) or more teams, the tie will be resolved by luck by tossing a coin by the President of the League or an authorized League official. for this.

 

When two (2) are tied for wins and losses for fifth position, and both are three games or less apart from fourth place, a tiebreaker match will be held. The match will be at the headquarters of the team that won the particular series or with the best GRA in case it is tied. The winner will be measured in the mini playoff to the occupant of fourth place.
