That's why you got the "funny" answer. Nobody here can help you. Sorry.
I was serious.

Please, we're trying to eliminate the mean-spirited and dismissive tone to newbies around here. You are not helping!

But your response is not considering the fragile self-image of the other team's players. That might be construed as mean-spirited as well.

Atoms, I am very serious.

Honestly, who cares.

Peace

I was hoping there were clear rules

Well he is U14 and plays in England, I assumed obviously incorrectly that there were universal rules around deciding ladder positions.

When I played it was points first then percentage and in the unlikely event that this was also tied then it came down to results between the two teams.

Based on this post alone you are obviously not talking about basketball.

This site was the best source your "googling' efforts could come up with?

F%$ off then .... I won't be back

This forum is just a waste of space, BadNewRef you are just a wanker ... of course I was talking about basketball.

If you are only a ref then you never actually played the game or if you did you probably weren't good enough to cut it and gave up to make a "man" out of yourself.

I've found what I was looking for, just a shame that no-one here actually knows the rules.

We've given you your answer, you have to talk to who runs the league. We also don't deal in FEEBLE rules hardly at all here. If your league uses points scored and field goal percentages before head to head record, that is your first problem.

If you actually knew the rules of basketball, you would find this forum useful. Since you didn't find your answer of how your son will be the best basketball player ever, too bad, go somewhere else, we don't care.

And whats a wanker?

Thumbs down

Obviously some deadbeat dad who is trying to live vicariously through the sports accomplishments of his son who plays in a U14 league because he never amounted to anything himself.

So sad.
