It's always nice in a tournament when you can play every team in your pool for seeding, but in the ones that don't have them what is everyone's thought on the best tiebreaker after head to head.

I personally like the Utrip one's we play where it's run differential capped at 8. Then runs against and finally runs for.

For me runs against as the first tiebreaker makes coaches less willing to give circle time to the back end of the staff.

I like runs against ahead of runs for, as it removes some of the need to beat up on a weaker team. Never really worried about not giving the weaker pitchers circle time. I figured it was a team game and up to the team to keep it close. I also tried not to select players I wouldn't want to play in a game that counted.
