ACC Rules Page

The ACC tiebreak path is one of the clearest in college baseball because it explicitly brings run differential into play.

ACC seeding still starts with conference winning percentage, but the conference spells out the fallback path more directly than most leagues, including when to use head-to-head, common opponents, and run differential.

What the ACC is trying to decide

The goal is still simple: sort the field into top-four double-byes, seeds five through eight with one bye, and the rest into round one. The hard part is when tied teams have split series or uneven common-opponent samples.
