Tiebreakers & Playoffs

RFFL playoff placement depends on division winners, wild cards, seeding tiebreakers, and Alpha/Beta bracket rules.

Wild cardsRemaining teams are seeded through wild card and Beta seeding rules
Alpha BowlChampionship bracket
Beta BowlConsolation bracket
ESPN vs official bracketRFFL policy controls official interpretation when ESPN display differs

Tiebreaker Use

Use the Operations Manual for tiebreaker order and criteria. Use a validated season page, such as 2025, as the worked example for how those rules become a final record.

Source Boundary

Do not infer final seeds from standings tables alone. Use the season recap’s seeding derivation and reconcile with the Operations Manual.
