Phillips 66 Big 12 Baseball Championship Tiebreaking Procedures

As of 2025 Season

Format/Seeding. The 12 teams with the best records (by percentage) in regular season competition will qualify for the Phillips 66 Big 12 Baseball Championship. In the event of a tie or ties in the standings, the following tie-breaking system will be implemented.

Two-Team Tie
1.  Results of head-to-head competition during the regular season.
2. The winner of the first game of the Conference series between the two tied teams.
3. Win percentage against the highest-placed common opponent in the standings (based on record in all games played within the Conference), proceeding through the standings. When arriving at another group of tied teams while comparing records, use each team’s win percentage against the collective tied teams as a group (prior to that group’s own tie-breaking procedure) rather than the performance against individual tied teams.
4. Draw

Multiple-Team Ties
In the event of a tie between more than two teams, the following procedures will be used. After one team has an advantage and is “seeded”, all remaining teams in the multiple-team tiebreaker will repeat the multiple-team tie-breaking procedure. If at any point the multiple-team tie is reduced to two teams, the two-team tie-breaking procedure will be applied.

1. Head-to-head (best cumulative win percentage in a ‘mini round-robin’ among the tied teams). If not every tied team has played each other, go to step 2. If all the tied teams are not common opponents, the tied team that defeated each of the other tied teams in a series earns the highest seed.
2. The best winning percentage in a ‘mini round-robin’ consisting of the first games of the Conference series between the tied teams. If not every tied team has played each other, go to step 3.
3. Win percentage against the highest-placed common opponent in the standings (based on record in all games played within the conference), proceeding through the standings. When arriving at another group of tied teams while comparing records, use each team’s win percentage against the collective tied teams as a group (prior to that group’s own tie-breaking procedure) rather than the performance against individual tied teams.
4. Draw
