PLAYOFF TIEBREAK PROCEDURES 

If the final score of a playoff match is tied at 2–2, the following tie-breaks will be used to determine a match winner:

1. Least Games Lost, if still no winner then,

2. On separate sheets of paper, Position 1, 2, 3 and 4 will be written and the slips thrown into a hat. A drawing by an impartial party will determine which position will play in the final tiebreak. The position selected will have the two players from Team A that just played in that position, play against the two players from the same position of Team B.  They will immediately proceed to play a 7 point tiebreaker, (first to 7 by 2 points - Coman), to determine a winner and break the tie.

AWARDS
A Season Champions plaque will be awarded to the top team in each division (or the top team in each flight)  at the end of the season.
