If there are three or more teams in the tiebreaker and the tiebreaker itself produces a tie, all teams outside of the tie will be removed from the mini-table and points will be recounted.

3.15 Historical Rosters
It is every owner's responsibility to retain all of their team's roster threads from past seasons - regardless of age or author. When rosters are generated for new seasons (i.e. when arbitration contracts are recalculated and lost free agents identified) they must be posted as a new thread. A rolling edit of the previous season's roster is not acceptable.
