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.

Good. I'll spread the garbage back on the couch & dining room table, you can clog up the toilets.

Hey, I see they've written a book about Jurassic.


I just don't know if the other one is that Seattle fan who hangs around here now and then.

Hey, shouldn't wanker be censored? Dan couldn't say what he wanted to. If I was Dan, I'd be mad. He told me so.

We don't censor English around here, only American. English is that quaint, little-used language they speak across the pond. It uses a lot of the same words as American, but mostly they don't mean the same things. And some of them have too many u's in them.

As for our atomic friend, who seems to have gone needlessly nuclear...perhaps a little reality check is in order. The rules of the game of basketball cover exactly that, the game. They do not, in any rule set that I'm aware of cover how to determine league standings. That is up to the individual league or its sanctioning body to determine. Which is why you were told you'd need to ask the league.

However, if you want to discuss the rules of the game of basketball, like whether calling the ref a wanker would be a simple technical foul, or a flagrant technical, this is the place.
