Chuck was right - The IST should use regular season record before point differential as a tiebreaker (alien.top)

It doesn't really make sense if the whole point of the tournament is to promote tryharding early in the season. If that's the goal, then reward the teams that are successful for all games not just in their group.

The emphasis on point differential has also led to some awkward moments where players or coaches are forced to "break the code". While I think that will continue to happen I think putting more value regular season wins more will minimize those situations.

I like it. I hope they don't "fix" it next year just because it is new and different.
