What is the formula for calcuting the standings?
1 win 1 loss 2 ties
1 win 0 loss 2 ties
0 win 0 loss 3 ties
Examples?
Is a in compute this in the rule book or on some other authority?

I prefer 1/2 win and 1/2 loss goes down in the record and let percentages fall where they may. However, the Babe Ruth rule book suggests the following, "After the regular season is concluded, if the tie game afffects the league standing of either team involved, the game is replayed as a new game. Pitching eligibility for the replay is determined according to the calendar week in which the game is played."
I once coached in such a game. We had played an 8 inning 1-1 tie earlier in the season before game was called for curfew. At the end of the season the tie meant nothing to us, but if the other team had won that game they would have finished in 1st place. So we played them again and got lost by a good margin. My team was down to 9 players, some of which were not my best, as some went off for vacation, and the other team was at full roster, becuase it meant 1st place for them.
