Hi Mike,

Just to be clear, the final standings tie-breaker only applies when someone finishes with the same total points. If someone is able to match total points at the end of the season yet pick fewer games, from my POV good for them! To me this is more impressive than Strength of Victory or number of games picked. I would also expect it to be a pretty rare occurence, though it does look like a possibility in your league with Missy Woods close behind.

FYI I made a minor description change to the tie breakers on the rules page, in case there was any confusion in that regard.

Thanks, Fred
