I’ve been trying to find tiebreaker scenarios for WNBA playoff seedings and haven’t been able to find anything yet. Maybe it’s out there and maybe I’m lazy. But the fun of having your own media outlet is that if you didn’t see something you can just make it instead.

So here, a special for our Ball-Knowers, is an hour or two of napkin math about the various playoff seeding scenarios, tiebreakers and what maximum chaos in the WNBA would look like.

Enjoy and be sure to consider a free-trial to the Ball-Knowers tier as we get into the playoffs. A lot of great stuff is on the way!
