Warning to all CBS Sports Football Owners: Do you have a Playoff Game Tie-Breaker?

At SportsJudge, we generally receive two types of disputes -- the good ones, and those that should have been prevented.

Amongst the second category, our court last week needed to resolve two disputes in leagues hosted by CBS Sports Commissioner, in which playoff games ended in ties and the league had no predetermined tie-breaker. Apparently, the CBS Sports Commissioner product does not require league owners to choose their game tie-breakers in advance, and many league owners simply did not.

If you use the CBS Sports Commissioner product, I strongly encourage you to look to make sure that you have a playoff game tie-breaker in place. Note, that this is different from a standings tie-breaker, which determines what teams would advance into the playoffs.

Meanwhile, if you are playing in either a CBS Sports Free or CBS Sports Premium (Money) league, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. In those games, the CBS Sports rules very clearly state that the first tie-breaker is "combined rushing, passing and receiving yards."
