I was curious how Pius schedule works for district seedings since the rest of their schedule is all under C5? Strange thing for Fort is they will have two C6 (Truman and Oak Park) on top of their C4 loss. I have no idea how that works so I was wondering if someone did..
Top I had no idea of the rule in high school where as long as a field goal attempt crosses the goal line it is a touchback. I've never seen it used, but why wouldn't every team with a soccer player do that if they are any where near the 50. The punting is so atrocious many times it would be a huge advantage on field position. I think Kearney did one from their own 35 in the first.
It's all a point system, so it will be based on wins and losses, opponent's record, and margin of victory. You get bonus points for playing up a class, but no deduction for playing down a class.
1. Earning Points:
a. Points for Game Result
Win/Receiving Forfeit: 20
Loss: 10
Overtime Loss: 15
Forfeiting: 5
b. Points for Playing Up (11-Man)
i. 10 points per class played up (i.e. Class 1 plays a Class 3, 20 points earned)
ii. No penalty for playing down
iii. No play up points will be awarded to either team when a contest is forfeited prior to the start or a team refusing to complete the contest.
iv. Play up points will be awarded when a contest is played and forfeit occurs due to the use of an ineligible player.
c. Points for Strength of Schedule
i. Sum of the win/loss points of all opponents’ games less your point contribution to the sum.
ii. Count of all opponents’ games less your games against opponents.
iii. Forfeits: If a school has forfeited a contest; opponent’s strength of schedule points will be calculated at 10 points.
d. Points for Score Differential: Points are accumulated by the difference between your score and opponent’s score in each game.
Positive points in a win and negative points in a loss. Maximum points: +13 or -13
2. Calculating Points:
a. Sum of Win/Loss points divided by number of games
b. Sum of Play-Up points divided by number of games
c. Strength of Schedule points divided by Total Games
d. Sum of Score Differential points divided by number of games
e. Add the calculations from a-d to determine seed points
3. Seeding
a. Each teams’ seed points are calculated
b. Teams are seeded from highest to lowest by highest point total to lowest in comparing district team seed points.
4. Applying the Automatic Switch: If two teams have played head-to-head and their seeds are consecutive they will be switched if the lower seed has beaten the higher seed (for example, the #2 seed beats the #1 seed head to head; they will be switched). Once a switch has been made, that team is protected from being switched again (for example, the #1 seed cannot be switched with the #3 seed). This process will start from the higher seed and work down through each seeded position.
