Question about a tiebreakers.

If two fantasy teams end the season in a tie, I see the first tie breaker is games won. That seems a bit vague, does that mean games won between those two teams? I'd assume so, because that's the case in many sports, but the next tie breaker is most ties (which would be the same for both teams). So this seems to suggest that the tie breaker is most games won overall, in which case it seems a bit redundant to include that in a tie breaker list because if its a tie then you'd bypass that qualification in the event of a tie regardless (they're tied, so of course they've both won just as many games).

Anyone know more about this?

Well in the tiebreaker list, I also don't understand the first point. I originally thought it meant whoever won in the head to head matchups (meaning if I'm 7-4 and you're 7-4 but I beat you twice, I'd win), but that's not the case.

My opponents had the same question in one of my fantasy leagues; I can show you examples from what happened for me last year. I'll try to give the best clarification I can. The determining factor was points in these examples. I won by having earned more points than my opponent, and I lost by earning less points. You can see that in the one I lost, my I beat the guy who won in both of our matchups against each other, but he still won in the end.

If by some miracle you and the person you tied with earned the same amount of points, who ever had the most points scored against them (meaning who won against tougher opponents) gets the win I assume. I can't provide examples of that though, I've never seen it. I hope this helps!
