Baseball Standings for 2025
This standings application is a preview using the new tiebreaker rules for 2026 with the 2025 standings. The new tiebreaker rules did not change any team order, but they did change the reason that the 0.500 teams were seeded the way they were. In the old rules head-to-head was ignored in a 3+ team tie if not every team had played each other. Going forward, if one team in the group has a better or worse record against all other teams in the group, that team will separate out as best or worst.
2025 Standings with old rules | Current Tiebreaker Rules
Tie-breaker rules were changed a second time for the 2026 season. We had the incorrect tiebreaker until 10am on Sunday May 17th. In our defense We set this up the first week of January and there were already a new to 2026 tiebreaker rule posted. The new change was a subsequent change (along with the new tournament format) sometime after that. Our apologies for the error.
