Ties

A couple quick thoughts. Given that this league's regular season games can end in a tie, it seems that the W-L column should be W-L-T. And a winning percentage column may be preferred over games behind; while there are no bye weeks, GB will be awkward (and not really meaningful) in the middle of a weekend when some teams have completed more games than others.

@Dmoore5556: I appreciate the suggestions and have implemented them in the template. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 03:40, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good, thanks. We'll see how things go with this new league.... Dmoore5556 (talk) 03:42, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Dmoore5556: I'm looking forward to it, and with the several hours I put in making the season articles, I hope it doesn't flop mid-season. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 05:45, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tiebreakers

Anyone know if the league's tiebreakers are the same as the NFL, or ? The template has fields typically used for tie breaking (e.g. point differential, strength of schedule, strength of victories) and it would be good to know how they should be applied. Some NFL info here. Thanks. Dmoore5556 (talk) 08:36, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

SOS

Since two teams in the same conference would have the same SOS if they finish equal in the standings (since they would have played the same teams except for when they play each other, but they would have the same record anyway), is it really a point to listing SOS? It couldn't ever be a tie breaker with the current schedule format. SOV could be a tie breaker, since there could be a difference in the teams they've beaten, but teams from the same conference who end up tied will always be tied for SOS.
