Anyone know how this game handles a threeway tie for 1st? Three teams have 109-52 records with one game remaining in the McGraw League.

Thanks for the heads up on that one. Every team will play one game against the other two opponents. This will continue until the tie is broken (ie if everyone goes 1-1, we'll play them again). I don't think that it has ever happened in MLB history, so I'm not sure what the real rule is.
This hasn't happened before, so I don't have proper code to do it yet. But I'll put something together tonight if it does happen.

When there is a tie for a Division Championship and the breaking of that tie will result in the losing team(s) not being the Wild Card team, the tie for the Division Championship shall be broken as follows:
a. Tie between two teams. The League President shall conduct a coin flip to determine the site of a playoff game between the two teams, the game to be played the day after the conclusion of the championship season. The winner of the game shall be declared the Division Champion.
b. Tie among three teams. If the tied teams have identical records against each other, the League President shall supervise a draw which results in the tied teams being designated the A, B and C teams. A will play B at the home field of A, the day after the conclusion of the championship season. The following day, C will play the winner of A-B at the winnerâ??s home field. The winner of the game shall be declared the Division Champion. When, however, the tied teams do not have identical records against each other, their designation as the A, B, or C teams shall be determined as follows:
Team 1 has better record against both Team 2 and Team 3, and Team 2 has better record against Team 3: Team 1 chooses designation as A, B or C team, and Team 2 chooses from remaining choices;
Team 1 has better record against both Team 2 and Team 3, and Team 2 and Team 3 have same record against each other: Team 1 chooses designation as A, B or C team and League President supervises draw between Teams 2 and 3 for remaining choices;
Team 1 and Team 2 have same record against each other but better record against Team 3: League President supervises draw between Teams 1 and 2. Winner chooses designation as A, B or C team and loser chooses from remaining choices;
Team 1 has better record against Team 2, Team 2 has better record against Team 3, and Team 3 has better record against Team 1: Rank teams on the basis of overall winning percentage within the three-team group; team(s) with higher percentages select designation as A, B or C teams(s); when two or more teams tied in overall winning percentage, League President supervises draw between teams so tied.
There's the actual rule. Kind of a CF of sorts but still. High Heat cut it down to the best of the 3 being team 1, and the best of the remaining 2 (or a draw) became team 2.

Thanks, I'll follow these rules Tysok. I'll probably do it manually if it happens this time, then program it into the playoff code eventually.

Only 2 of the teams won the last game, thank god for me :)
I'll program this logic sometime this summer hopefully.
