Any predictions for the Bourbon vs Harrison County game. This district has been a roller coaster ride. If Harrison beats Bourbon and Scott beats Holmes there should be a three way tie. Any ideas on the tie breaker criteria? I know it deals with the wins of the opponents each team has beaten correct?

This game should be very close, I have saw both play Holmes. I am curious about tie breaker also.

FROM THE KHSAA HANDBOOK

 

3) The champion, runner-up, third place or fourth place position in each district shall be determined by the win-loss record based upon the games played against opponents in the district. Only games scheduled by contract prior to the first legal playing date and played before the first weekend of the state playoffs shall be used in determining a district winner or runner-up.

 

a) TIE-BREAKER (two teams). In the case of a tie for the champion, runner-up, third place or fourth place position between two teams based upon the win-loss record, the team that won the game contested between the two tied teams shall be declared the winner.

 

b) TIE-BREAKER (more than two teams). Should three or more teams tie for a district position based upon the win-loss record, the position shall be determined by the following: If one of the teams has defeated each of the other teams tied in games contested between them, that team shall be declared to hold the highest position, and the winner of the game between the remaining teams (if less than four) shall be declared the second highest position. In the event of more than three teams being tied, where one has defeated each of the tied teams, that team shall be declared the highest position, and the tie-breaking procedure shall be re-applied for the remaining tied teams.

 

ii- If the tie remains, each team tied for the position shall receive one point for each game won by any four of their defeated opponents in all games, except for the games played between any two of the tied teams. All games played shall be counted in applying the tie-breaking procedure, including out of state games, with the exception that a defeated school may be counted only once in the procedure regardless of the number of games played against that particular school. Teams awarded forfeit victories (whether or not a forfeit fee is paid) may count the defeated opponents of the forfeiting team, provided the game was not replaced on the schedule.

 

iii- If the tie remains after application of provision (ii), an additional defeated opponent’s wins will be added to the point total for each team until the tie is broken and the winner of the tied position declared, or until all games are exhausted.

 

iv- If the tie for the position involves only three teams, and the application of (ii) and (iii) results in one team being declared the winner of the tied position based on point totals, the highest point total from the application of (ii) and (iii) between the two remaining tied teams shall be declared to hold the next position.

As it stands right now, I think Harrison has an insurmountable advantage in the three way tie as Scott and Holmes only have non district victories over winless teams. So if Harrison wins and Holmes loses, Harrison wins district. If Harrison loses, and Scott beats Holmes, Scott wins. If Holmes wins, Holmes wins district regardless of the Harrison-Bourbon outcome.

 

I think.....
