Can anyone tell me how a two way tie is settled in district play to determine a 1 seed?

Any two-way ties are settled by the result of the head-to-head matchup.

 

Three-way ties can be a little more confusing.

Hypothetically, if Conner beats Cooper, there will be a 3 way tie with them and Ryle being 1-1 in Distrits. If this happens, I believe Conner with #1 seed, Cooper #2 and Ryle #3. Not sure how, but I assume it is simply because Conner hypothetically beats Cooper and Cooper beat Ryle. But Ryle also beat Conner, who hypothetically beats Cooper. Who knows. (This is just what I read in the Cooper V Conner prediction thread)

It all depends on the number of wins each team that you beat has.

As of now..

 

Conner

Boone County- 0 Points

Scott- 7 points

Dixie Heights- 2 points

NewCath- 4 points

Lloyd Memorial- 5 points

Campbell County- 0 points

Current: 18 points

Most Likely: 22 points (NewCath +1, Scott +1, Lloyd +2)

 

 

Cooper

Highlands- 3 points

NewCath- 4 points

Campbell County- 0 points

LexCath- 5 points

Dixie Heights- 2 points

Boone County- 0 points

Current: 14 points

Most Likely: 19 points (LexCath +2, Highlands +2, NewCath +1)

 

 

Ryle:

CovCath- 2 points

LexCath- 5 points

Boone County- 0 points

Highlands- 3 points

Campbell County- 0 points

GRC- 0 points

 

Current- 10 Points

Most Likely- 17 points (+2 Highlands, +2 LexCath, +1 CovCath, +2 beat Boone County)

 

 

Right now Conner is actually sitting the prettiest....who would have ever thought scheduling and beating CovCath and Highlands might have hurt a team?

In a 3-way tie where head to head does not differentiate you take the 4 wins with the most wins of their own. You cannot count another team involved in the tie-breaker as your win though.

 

If that doesn't separate the tie-breaker it gets way too confusing to write down...

 

Logn Story short if a 3-way tiebreaker happens Conner would have the upper hand barring teams they beat suffering upsets. If Ryle upsets Simon Kenton they really help their own cause ina big way as Simon Kenton will most likely carry 9 points with them

Yea the tie breaker for 3 teams is really bad. You could literally finish the reg season with a 9-1 record while the two other teams could be 6-4 and 7-3 and you could be the #3 seed with a 9-1 record. They really need a different tie break system. The only silver lining for Cooper with a loss to Conner this weekend would be the worst they can finish for their first year after

Moving up to 6A is a tie for district title.

You could finish 9-1 against bad teams while another team is 6-4 against a stout schedule. Why should the 9-1 team be seeded higher?

Anyone care to take a stab at Male, X and Manual in the event Manual pulled off the upset tomorrow night? Would be a 3 way tie.

It all depends on the number of wins each team that you beat has.

 

but I think it is only up to 4 opponents that you have beaten

What would you suggest?

 

Because district games is the only thing that decides district winners that aren't a tie, then use district games as tie breaker by using points for and against as tie breakers since all district teams all play common opponents. That is how I would do it. That way bad teams out of district can't be the determining factor because it's tough year to year to judge who will be bad especially coming off good years the year before.

You could finish 9-1 against bad teams while another team is 6-4 against a stout schedule. Why should the 9-1 team be seeded higher?

 

That is why district games should decide tie breakers also. District games is the only thing that is used to determine district champions anyway as long as it isn't a tie, so let them decide tie breakers also. As was pointed out earlier, teams that schedule Highlands and Cov Cath are usually tough games, no one knew this year those teams would hurt someone by scheduling them.

 

So make it common opponents which would be district games period to determine tie breakers.

Yes, you can count your for best wins. So you want to beat as many teams as possible to open up as many potential opponents as possible (and thus eliminate any "bad" wins you might have).

How would you use district games to break ties?

 

Example from this year:

 

Class 3A - District 3

1. Central (5-0)

2. Henry County (3-2)

2. Bardstown (3-2)

2. Waggener (3-2)

5. Moore (1-4)

6. Thomas Nelson (0-5)

 

The bolded teams are in the tiebreaker. They all lost to Central, they all beat Moore and Thomas Nelson. They split among each other. How do you break that tie?

 

Or this one (if Raceland beats Paintsville)

 

Class 1A - District 6

1. Fairview (1-1)

1. Paintsville (1-1)

1. Raceland (1-1)

 

They all beat and lost to each other. How do you break that?
