Dumbest question ever (I'm serious) Topic

How is the waiver wire order determined if two teams have the same record?  I thought it was run differential, but the team in question and I have the exact same run differential as well.  Its not head-to-head since he has beaten me 3 out of 3 and I will have 32/32 waiver claim.  I have no intention of clamining anyone so its a dumb question.  Still, I'm curious.

Waivers seem to use the same tiebreaker that is used for determining seeding in the playoffs (dead-to-head record first, then division record, then run differential, then last season's record and finally a coin flip.)  Note: this is different than the amateur draft order tiebreaker.

P.S. I submitted a ticket as sometimes this does not work exactly right - however support stalled responding until it was too late to verify my claim.

"dead-to-head" - I work with someone like that...

Me too.

WIS says that the waiver tiebreaker is the same as the Amateur Draft tiebreaker (1) Winning Percentage; (2) Run Differential; 3) Runs Scored.  But I have seen this not work perfectly.  It would be nice to have a page with current waiver order.
