not sure which district you are talking about.. C2D3 was the first one I looked at when they went up and the changes had been made there... is the district you are looking at still wrong?
At the time of my post, C2D1 and D7 hadn't been flipped yet. Just got home from work so I'll look here in a few.
Also, Waynesville should be ahead of Willard. Willard is ahead by 0.06 points, but they mistakenly gave Waynesville -6 instead of -1 on point margin for an overtime loss.
Looks right now. They hadn't switched Higginsville and Holden as of last writing. Still, a quicker process than it used to be. As I said earlier on in the season, MSHSAA has done well there with timely updates to their website. Now, the access part of the equation still needs tons of work.
Waynesville will get a -6 for their 6 point overtime loss in the point differential part of the formula.
In the win-loss part of the formula, you get 10 points for a win, 0 for a loss, and 5 for a tie. The 5 has been applied. So I'd say they are third.
Shouldn't they get -1 point since it went into overtime? 15 points -6 = 9 points. 10 points for a regulation loss -1 = 9 points as well. By that logic, an 8 point overtime loss would be worse for you than a 2 point regulation loss. This could lead to teams deliberately scoring on themselves to try and send the game into overtime and get more points. I always thought overtime games were scored +1/-1
I think you are mixing together two different parts of the formula.
Can't imagine any teams would "score on themselves" to force an overtime. You'd always be better off with a win than a tie or loss.

Not in the example I used above. MSHSAA credited Waynesville with -6 for losing and 15 for "tying" (Overtime loss). 15-6=9
Had Waynesville lost by a point in regulation 10-1=9 same result. They could have ended up worse off by losing by 7 or 8 in overtime.

I can see where you are coming from but please describe a specific scenario where a coach might choose to take a knee to end the game when trailing, in order to benefit himself district-points-wise and in order to avoid a worse scenario if the game went to overtime.
And I'm hoping we can assume overtime doesn't involve one team scoring first, and then finishing overtime with a pick six as well, because I can't imagine a coach losing in regulation on purpose because he truly fears that overtime scenario.

The win/loss points and the point differential are figured in different equations, so they don’t go together quite that simply.
Also, while it could end up worse, a 8 point overtime win is also possible... no one is throwing points to try to get to or avoid overtime..
