Tiebreakers & Playoffs
RFFL playoff placement depends on division winners, wild cards, seeding tiebreakers, and Alpha/Beta bracket rules.Playoff Concepts
| Concept | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Division winners | Seeds 1-4 are derived from division winner rules |
| Wild cards | Remaining teams are seeded through wild card and Beta seeding rules |
| Alpha Bowl | Championship bracket |
| Beta Bowl | Consolation bracket |
| ESPN vs official bracket | RFFL 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.Related
