Tank watch for the last ten days of the season

[DanSchwartzgan]

I don't understand the tie.   Can you explain.   Isn't there a coin flip?

The lottery odds between the two tied teams are split (take the ping pong balls for both and split them equally).  The coin flip establishes the order if neither of the tied teams moves up.  

Outcomes:

6th:         Dallas loses/Memphis wins
7th:         Dallas wins/Memphis loses
Tie 6/7:    Both Dallas/Memphis lose or both win (unless both win and NO loses)
Tie 7/8:    Dallas wins/NO Loses/Memphis loses
Tie 6/7/8: Dallas wins/NO loses/Memphis wins

The last option seems highly unlikely.
