1. If two teams have the same record, what tie-breaker is used to determine their place in the standings? I looked at the "standings" section of the rules but couldn't find my answer. It appears to be plus/minus on points scored/conceded. Is that correct?

2. In the finals, suppose the #1 from the great 8 faces the #2 from the big 8, and suppose the #2 has a better record than the #1. Who gets home-court advantage? The rules say the team with the higher standing gets the advantage, so that's the #1 team, right?

1. The tie-beaker is the difference between Points For and Points Against represented by PF and PA in the standings page. If someone has a smaller difference then they are ranked above the other person/s

2. The person with the better score (ties again are decided by PF and PA difference) gets home court advantage. Note this is the score not the ranking. 1st from Big 8 has 15 wins and 2nd from Great 8 has 16 wins. The first final game is played at the Great 8 team's court.
