WAR is a H2H Category based scoring league that uses sabermetric type scoring as well as raw production over 21 Categories.
Win the most categories and you win the matchup.
It is possible to end in a tie 10.5 to 10.5. The nature of the categories make this outcome unlikely but not impossible. Tie breakers are used in the post season only.
All around team performance is emphasized in WAR so that each player has a factor in teams W/L including RPs and marginal MLB players.
