Superhiro: I'm available until about 5pm central today, and then any time after 8pm central tomorrow night.
Regarding tie-break scenarios:
So right now we're looking at having tie-breaks for crucial rankings (the top 2 and bottom 2 spots in each division) coming down to:
a) head to head record
b) a coin flip if the teams drew in their first match.
I don't have a problem at all with head to head being the first tie breaker, but I do have a problem with a coin flip.
It is possible to have a 1 game playoff to break the tie. No SPP will be gained, no cash will be earned, no injuries/deaths will count. The only thing that will have any effect on the Official League will be the change in the rankings. If either team would like to concede the tie-break instead of playing the extra game, that's fine. If both teams don't care to play, we can then resort to a coin flip.
Obviously this is more fair than a coin flip. The flip is much faster, though, and won't make us wait for the tiebreaker games to get played.

In relation to Adam's point, I agree with him. The reason I told him to post this here is that the last 24 hours on the coin flip suggestion have been basically no chatter. If you guys don't give a shit about tiebreakers for who moves up/down a division, then I don't either. It's a little bit of extra work for me to set up playoffs for you guys, but it's not a problem. But if no one cares, then a coin flip is just as good, and saves a ton of time and work.
It's gonna happen. There will be times when ties come up to determine 2nd/3rd place in the division and who moves up to the next one. I don't know where you guys are in your mindset on this game, so that's why we're talking about it here. If it's important to you and you feel it's necessary for the competition, go ahead and say so. We need to gauge the public opinion on this before we make a call on what to do. I may run the league, but it's not a dictatorship. I wanna go with the flow here and cater to as many people as possible without shitting over the integrity of the competition.
So, if you've got an opinion, speak up.

The only time we get to case b) is if the tied teams tied in their first match. I have no problem with waiting for teams to play an extra match if promotion/demotion is on the line in that scenario.
Two team tie-breakers are easy. What do we do if 3+ teams tie, though? I don't think we want to make a round robin out of it if their H2Hs are equal. At that point, I might be ok with a dice roll.

Is Touchdowns Against a valid stat to throw in the mix for tie-breaker considerations? Every race wants to minimize these in games such that they can score wins. Just because you are an Elf team or a Khemri team doesn't influence the statistic as badly as Casualties or Touchdowns For.
