TIE-BREAKING PROCEDURESThe following procedures will be used to break standings ties for postseason playoffs and to determine regular-season schedules. Note: Tie games count as one-half win and one-half loss for both clubs. TO BREAK A TIE WITHIN A DIVISION If, at the end of the regular season, two or more clubs in the same division finish with the best won-lost-tied percentage, the following steps will be taken until a champion is determined: TWO CLUBS 1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs.) 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference. Strength of victory in all games. Strength of schedule in all games. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed in all games. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed in all games. Best net points in common games. Best net points in all games. Best net touchdowns in all games. Coin toss. 10. 11. 12. Best net points in all games. Best net touchdowns in all games. Coin toss.

TO BREAK A TIE FOR THE WILD-CARD TEAM If necessary to break ties to determine the two Wild Card clubs from each conference, the following steps will be taken: A. If all the tied clubs are from the same division, apply division tie-breaker. B. If the tied clubs are from different divisions, apply the following steps: TWO CLUBS 1. Head-to-head, if applicable. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. Best won-lost-tied percentage in the games played within the conference. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four. Strength of victory in all games. Strength of schedule in all games. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed in all games. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed in all games. Best net points in conference games. Best net points in all games. Best net touchdowns in all games. Coin toss.

THREE OR MORE CLUBS (Note: If two clubs remain tied after one or more clubs are eliminated during any step, tie-breaker re-starts at Step One of two-club format. If three clubs remain tied after a fourth club is eliminated during any step, tie-breaker re-starts at Step One of three-club format.) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games among the clubs.) Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference. Strength of victory in all games. Strength of schedule in all games. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed in all games. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed in all games. Best net points in common games.

THREE OR MORE CLUBS (Note: If two clubs remain tied after one or more clubs are eliminated during any step, tie-breaker re-starts at Step One of two-club format. If three clubs remain tied after a fourth club is eliminated during any step, tie-breaker re-starts at Step Two of three-club format.) 1. Apply division tie-breaker to eliminate all but highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step two. The original seeding within a division upon application of the division tie-breaker remains the same for all subsequent applications of the procedure that are necessary to identify the two Wild Card participants. Head-to-head sweep (apply only if one has defeated each of the others or one club has lost to each of the others.) Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four. Strength of victory in all games.

TIE-BREAKING PROCEDURES6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Strength of schedule in all games. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed in all games. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed in all games. Best net points in conference games. Best net points in all games. Best net touchdowns in all games. Coin toss. OTHER TIE-BREAKING PROCEDURES 1. Only one club advances to the playoffs in any tie-breaking step. Remaining tied clubs revert to the first step of the applicable division or Wild Card tie-breakers. As an example, if two clubs remain tied in any tie-breaker step after all other clubs have been eliminated, the procedure reverts to Step 1 of the two-club format to determine the winner. When one club wins the tie-breaker, all other clubs revert to Step 1 of the applicable two-club or three-club format. 2. In comparing records against common opponents among tied teams, the best won-lost-tied percentage is the deciding factor since teams may have played an unequal number of games. 3. To determine home-field priority among division-titlists, apply Wild Card tie-breakers. 4. To determine home-field priority for Wild Card qualifiers, apply division tie-breakers (if teams are from the same division) or Wild Card tie-breakers (if teams are from different divisions). 5. To determine the best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed, add a team's position in the two categories, and the lowest score wins. For example, if Team A is first in points scored and second in points allowed, its combined ranking is 3. If Team B is third in points scored and first in points allowed, its combined ranking is 4. Team A then wins the tiebreaker. If two teams are tied for a position, both teams are awarded the ranking as if they held it solely. For example, if Team A and Team B are tied for first in points scored, each team is assigned a ranking of 1 in that category, and if Team C is third, its ranking will still be 3. TIE-BREAKING PROCEDURE FOR SELECTION MEETING 1. Clubs not participating in the playoffs shall select in the first through 20th positions in reverse standings order. 2. The Super Bowl winner is last and Super Bowl loser is nextto-last. 3. The losers of the Conference Championship games shall select 29th and 30th based on won-lost-tied percentage. 4. The losers of the Divisional playoff games shall select 25th through 28th based on won-lost-tied percentage. 5. The losers of the Wild Card games shall select 21st through 24th based on won-lost-tied percentage. If ties exist in any grouping except (2) above, such ties shall be broken by strength-of-schedule. If any ties cannot be broken by strength-of-schedule, the divisional or conference tie-breakers, if applicable, shall be applied. Any ties that still exist shall be broken by a coin flip.

When the first Wild Card Team has been identified, the procedure is repeated to name the second Wild Card (i.e., eliminate all but the highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step two). In situations where three teams from the same division are involved in the procedure, the original seeding of the teams remains the same for subsequent applications of the tie-breaker if the top-ranked team in that division qualifies for a Wild Card berth.

SCHEDULING FORMULAThe NFL expanded to 32 teams in 2002 with the addition of the Houston Texans. In addition, the NFL realigned for the first time since 1970into eight divisions of four teams eachand the scheduling formula that was introduced guarantees for the first time that all teams play each other on a regular, rotating basis. Although the number of teams has increased to 32, the number of playoff teams remains the same at 12. Under the NFL scheduling formula, every team within a division plays 16 games as follows: Home and away against its three division opponents (6 games). The four teams from another division within its conference on a rotating three-year cycle (4 games). The four teams from a division in the other conference on a rotating four-year cycle (4 games). Two intraconference games based on the prior years standings (2 games). These games will match a first-place team against the first-place teams in the two same-conference divisions the team is not scheduled to play that season. The second-place, third-place, and fourth-place teams in a conference will be matched in the same way each year.

The schedule format takes each team through a cycle of gameshome and awayagainst every other team in the league. From 2002-2009, every team played every other team at least twiceonce home and once away. After the 2008 season, a decision was made to continue with the same rotation in 2010 and beyond. Divisional match-ups have tentatively been set for the 2012 season. Home and away pairings for 2012 have yet to be determined. In determining how to begin the divisional rotation in 2002, the displacement of teams from their old divisions in the new alignment was taken into account. Preference was given to scheduling games with former division rivals and other regional opponents for clubs realigned from otherwise intact divisions.
