It is up to each individual district. You don't even have to have a district tournament if you don't want to. Most use who swept whom in the regular season...or a coin toss.

but what if the teams split the regular season???

 

what then?

 

i heard that sometimes when it is a tie they go by the team who beat the most highly seeded team or teams during the year? if so, that doesn't really sound fair --- is this right??

 

i think it should be what you said ---- who won when the tied teams played and if that is a tie -- then who won by the most points ---- and if the winning margin is the same -- then coin toss !!!!!!!!!!

You can argue either way.......personally I don't like any tie-breaker that includes margin of victory. I would rather lose a coin-toss.......

The rules are agreed upon by the administrators. I have no idea what they decided this year. I think in the past it's been a coin toss. Not sure about this year.

I dont know what district you are in but the coaches decide at their district meeting PRIOR to the season and set up and agree upon the guidlines if they are tied all the way throught the tie breakers most of them flip a coin and USUALLY when it comes to a coin flip to decied the winner any automatic berth is no longer in play For example if the first place seed gets a auotmatic birth to the region on a coin flip they would not get that

thanks --- i guess i'll just have to call the coaches ---- i did not know this -- i'm referring to third and fourth in a district of seven ---- so you can see how important it is to be third and not fourth -----

We use this format to break ties.

 

1. Head to head competition

2. How teams did against next highest seed.

3. Won - Loss record against teams in your classification.

4. Overall Won - Loss Record

5. Coin toss.

In the district I was a part of it was decided in this order.

 

1. Head to head.

2. How you did against the highest seeded team, 2nd, etc.

3. Coin Toss

 

I would not want it to be decided by the total points. Then you are encouraging coaches to run up the score.
