The sort order of the Class AA District 7 has been changed to reflect the current standings. See: Football Standings.

enall, there is parking lots all the way around the school building on all sides, shouldn't be a problem.

Good deal. Thanks for the info.

Any suggestions on parking at West?

TSSAA gets nothing from any regular season game -- teams get all, set ticket prices, and make their own non-district schedule.

If this happens then all teams end the season with 6-1 district records. The first thing to look at is did one team defeat the other two. In this case no. So you have to go to overall records. In overall records Clinton would be 9-1; AC 8-2 and OR 7-3.

So Clinton is the #1 team in the district because of a better overall record.

After Clinton is removed from the discussion that would leave OR and AC tied at 6-1 (Once you break a tie you go back to the top of the tie-break system which is head to head) -- so OR would be #2 because of head-to-head. AC would be third.

There have been no changes in how teams finish in the final district standings. Same rules as the last 15+ years. However, final district standings are important in how you are placed in the quad.

where can you find the all tournament team for single A?

All tournament teams are found in the box score of the final game. Class A can be found at http://tssaa.org/2008Champions/StateGBaske...ClassA/box7.htm

AE and Catholic have renewed their rivalry. From what I heard no one would play either. I think Catholic called AE and AE accepted. I hear Ae is playing Ooltewah and Mo East also. I told my buddy Graham was foolished playing a schedule like that. But Graham is big on preparing for playoff pace.

Do you know what week A-E/Catholic will play. It should be week 1 or 3.

Parking suggestions at TC. Know where the field is but don't know where to park.

That would be correct.

 

In the case of:

 

Hunters Lane (6A) 5-1

McGavock (6A) 4-2

Antioch (6A) 3-3

Glencliff (5A) 3-3

Hillsboro (5A) 2-4

Hillwood (5A) 1-5

Cane Ridge (5A) 0-6

 

Glencliff would be an automatic qualifier in 5A, Hunters Lane (6A) and McGavock (6A) would be automatic since they are the top two finishers in the district.

 

The other teams in the district could still get in, but it would have to be the wild card route.

Earl,

 

So in this scnerio, does Glenciff get an automatic 5A bid?

That would be correct.

In the case of:

Hunters Lane (6A) 5-1

McGavock (6A) 4-2

Antioch (6A) 3-3

Glencliff (5A) 3-3

Hillsboro (5A) 2-4

Hillwood (5A) 1-5

Cane Ridge (5A) 0-6

Glencliff would be an automatic qualifier in 5A as would Hillsboro (4 5A teams means two automatic qualifiers), Hunters Lane (6A) and McGavock (6A) would be automatic since they are the top two finishers in the district.

The other teams in the district could still get in, but it would have to be the wild card route.

Spoke with a coach in District 12 and this is how it will work. District 12: Glencliff-5A, Hillsboro-5A, Hillwood-5A , Cane Ridge-5A, Antioch-6A, Hunters Lane-6A, McGavock-6A. With only 3, 6A teams, this district has only 1 guaranteed berth. So, if Antioch beats Hunters Lane and Mcgavock, htey could lose every other game and still make the playoffs with a 2-8 record because it takes the record agaist your class first to determine playoff berth and the other games only if there is a tie. There will be 6 state champs in D1, 1A - 6A.

This is not quite right. First, the districts have not been set yet-- that will be done on Nov. 13. The system will work just like SEC football. But for the sake of this argument -- If Antioch beat Hunters Lane and McGavock but in the final district standings they have a worse district record than Hunters Lane and/or McGavock they would not get the automatic berth.

Example:

If the final standing were:

Hunters Lane (6A) 5-1

McGavock (6A) 4-2

Antioch (6A) 3-3

Glencliff (5A) 3-3

Hillsboro (5A) 2-4

Hillwood (5A) 1-5

Cane Ridge (5A) 0-6

In this scenario even if Antioch had beaten Hunters Lane and McGavock, Hunters Lane would get the automatic 6A slot because of the better overall district record.

In the June 2005 TSSAA Board of Control meeting, the Board changed the football playoff bracket format. The change is minor and does not affect what teams play each other, but does affect the number of home games a team can have in the play-offs. The changes only affect the quarter-final and semi-final game locations.

For the 2005-2006 football bracket there was no change from the previous years. In 2005 the regions 1 and 5 winners would be home throughout the playoffs. In the 2006 bracket the regions 4 and 8 winners would be home throughout the playoffs.

With the bracket changes in 2007, the region 3 and 7 winners will be home throughout the playoffs, and in 2008 the region 2 and 6 winners will be home throughout the playoffs.

This change was made in order for every regional winner to be able to host all playoff games once over a four year period, where under the former playoff format only regions 1,4,5, and 8 had the ability to host all playoff games at home.

2 Home Home

4 Home Away

5 Away Home

6 Home Home

7 Away Away

8 Home Away

Enall if you have District 12 in 3A where Whites Creek (5A) and Maplewood (5A) come in 1 and 2 will they still take 2 teams from CaneRidge (6A) , Hunters Lane (6A), Antioch (6A), and McGavock (6A)?

Yes. If Maplewood and Whites Creek finish 1 and 2 then two schools make playoffs friom the 5A class. That does not affect the 6A schools where the top (2) will be automatic qualifiers. In this case District 12 would send 4 teams to the playoffs (5A-2,6A-2). The teams that were not automatic qualifiers could still get in as a wildcard. A caveat -- there are 9 wildcard teams in 5A, since District 12 gets two in when the formula says one, then that extra slot now takes one wild card away in 5A and leaves 8 to be filled by the rest of the 5A teams in the state.

Please correct me if I am wrong:

(OK Here goes -- It will be something like this -- wording and tweaking will come from TSSAA office as the final plan is developed - so there may be some adjustments as to my comments.)

1. In our district: The top two teams go to the playoffs and it doesn't matter if they are 5A or 6A, RIGHT?

Yes that is right.

It may help to see a district standing as it will probably appear in the papers:

AAA

District 8* District Overall

W L W L

1. Columbia(6A)

2. Franklin Co.(6A)

3. Lawrence Co.(5A)

4. Lincoln Co.(6A)

5. Shelbyville(5A)

6. Tullahoma(5A)

*(Top 6A school and top 5A school are automatic qualifiers; any team finishing 1st or 2nd are automatic qualifiers).

If the final standing were like this then Columbia and Franklin County are in the 6A playoffs because they finished 1 and 2. Lawrence County is in because they finished as the top 5A school. In class 6A there are seven wildcard teams, but since both Columbia and Franklin County get in then that takes one wildcard away from the rest of the state (beause only one was expected from this district) -- meaning that instead of 25 6A automatic qualifiers there are now 26 - leaving 6 wildcards for the rest of the state. Based on this Linclon County could still make the 6A playoffs as a wildcard. Same holds for Shelbyville and Tullahoma -- their only chance to get in is a wildcard.

2. The top team in each classification will also get a bid unless they are one of the two that already qualified (being 1 or 2).

Yes, see above.

3. All other teams will be based on the wild card formula, RIGHT?

Yes, see above.

Okay, here are a couple of other questions:

 

A. Almost everyone who wins 4 games will get into the playoffs (if my math is right). There might be some who don't but with six classifications for the playoffs and 32 teams, it almost works out that way.

Each class will have approx 55-60 teams, so a little over 1/2 make the playoffs. I would think that a team would be a longshot to make the playoffs with only 4 wins -- unless they are in a district where there is only 1 qualifier. I would think that there would be far fewer 4 win teams getting in than under the current format.

B. Will there be any reward for playing up or down in non-district games or will the win-loss record be the only thing that will count?

In the district the same formula will be used to determine standings.

A) In the event of a tie for the region winner, runner-up, and third-place, if either team(s) has defeated the other(s) in regular-season play, the team(s) shall be rated above the other(s) in the standings. (After the region winner has been determined, the tie-breaker procedure shall begin all over again starting at the top to work out the runner-up position. The procedure shall be repeated to determine the third- place team.)

The following tie-breaking procedures shall be applied and all regular-season games, both region and non-region, shall count (After each of the following steps have been applied, item A above shall be applied.):

1. The team with the greatest number of victories.

2. The team who has the greatest number of victories over teams winning 50 percent or more of their games.

3. The team whose opponents have earned the most victories.

4. The team whose opponents have received fewer defeats.

5. The team who has the greatest number of victories over teams in its own class.

6. Ten yard line overtime procedure at neutral site Monday night at 7:30 P.M.

Now, the wildcard selection will be a little different to determine teams:

Tier 1

1. Head to Head (If applicable)

2. The team with the greatest number of victories.

3. The team who has the greatest number of victories over teams winning 50 percent or more of their games.

4. The team whose opponents have earned the most victories.

5. The team whose opponents have received fewer defeats.

6. Total wins by the opponents of teams defeated.

Tier 2

7. The team with the greatest number of victories over teams in their class.

8. The team who has the greatest number of victories over teams in their class winning 50 percent or more of their games.

9. The team whose teams in their class have earned the most victories.

10. The team whose teams in their class have received fewer defeats.

11. Total wins by the opponents of teams in their class of teams defeated.

Tier 3

12. The team with the greatest number of victories over teams in higher classification than teams in their class.

13. The team who has the greatest number of victories over teams in a higher classification than teams in their class winning 50 percent or more of their games.

14. The team whose opponents in classes higher than teams in their class have earned the most victories.

15. The team whose opponents in classes higher than teams in their class have received fewer defeats.

16. Total wins by the opponents of teams in classes higher than teams in their class teams defeated.
