3. Runs Allowed (An average is used if teams have not played equal number of games)
4. Runs Scored (An average is used if teams have not played equal number of games)
5. Computer Generated Coin Flip (A system random number generator break ties at this stage) Note: If the system cannot break ties at a particular tiebreaking stage, the system will
move to the next tiebreaker and not return or revert back to a previous tiebreaker. Note about the Head-to-Head tiebreaker: Head-to-Head is ignored if all tied teams
do not play each other at least once. For example, if three teams are tied, and one team
plays the other two, but the other two do not play, this tiebreaker is ignored (regardless
of the outcome of the two games played by the first team). Teams playing a 4th game in pool play does not count for bracket seeding for the team playing a 4th game. Teams playing an out of pool game will not count for bracket seeding.
