[ Author: Guest: Dan | Posted: Sep 19, 2004 10:38 PM ]

Hyundai Unicorns 67 49  5
Samsung Lions    67 49  7
Doosan Bears     67 59  1
Kia Tigers       62 56  4

LG Twins         55 63  4
Hanhwa Eagles    50 70  6
Lotte Giants     42 67 11

There is a three way tie for first place with about 6-7 games left for each team. The top four teams make the playoffs.

Dan, thank you for your updated post. Isn't it a two way tie because the Doosan Bears have lost 10 more games making them 5 games behind the Hyundai Unicorns and the Samsung Lions? Nippon Pro Baseball and the Mexican League figures stats that way with ties not factoring in.

According to the official KBO web site, it's a 3 way tie. I'm not sure how and why due to the fact that this is the first season in which the KBO has allowed ties and games not to go past four hours. But I'm happy since my Doosan Bears are at least in the playoffs this year.

The KBO only considers wins in determining the standings. So the team with the most wins is in first place. The number of losses and ties are not considered.

That is so wierd because the Central (Japan), Chinese Professional Baseball (Taiwan), Mexican, and Pacific (Japan) Leagues all base their standings on winning percentage which factor in losses. Of course, in all cases ties are non-factors.

Westbay-san wrote in a post from "Ask the Commish" forum [Link] of a similar system that NPB's Central League used one year:

The only screwy thing the Central League has done to try to shake the final standings around a bit was introduce a system whereby the team with the most wins took first place a couple of years ago, as opposed to the highest winning percentage. Because ties are allowed, it was possible for one team to have taken the league with a lower winning percentage. I think (memory fails me right now) that if there was such a case where the team with the highest winning percentage didn't have the most wins, that there would be a one game playoff.
