District Tiebreakers - TSSAA Rules are not clear

F. Each district may choose to break ties in its regular season contests using a modified tie-breaker system. Each district shall decide whether or not to use this option prior to the start of the season. If a district votes to use the option for its district contests, the following tie-breaker procedure shall be used in the regular season: Teams will play two 10 minute Golden Goal (Sudden Victory) overtime periods. At the end of the first 10 minute overtime period, teams shall change ends. There shall be a two-minute interval between periods. If, at the conclusion of the two 10 minute Golden Goal (Sudden Victory) overtime periods, a tie still exists, the tie shall be broken with the penalty kick procedure outlined in the NFHS Rulesbook. Beginning with postseason play, all contests shall use the NFHS tie-breaking procedure.

District 4 did not break ties in the regular season. If HVA beats Farragut, Then HVA and Maryville will have the same record. I was told if this happened, they would use goal differential. My question, do they use all common opponents or only district opponents for the differential?

Currently, with HVA having a game remaining, Maryville has a 3 goal lead in District. If they beat FHS by 3 they are still tied. Does anyone know where this is written down. It reads like the District decides it's own tiebreaker for seeding.

Typically each district has their own set of bylaws, therefore you would have to ask one of the coaches in your district what their tie breakers are.  More times than not, goal differential only goes up to 3 goals per game.  If there is still a tie after that, it more than likely would go to goals allowed and then goals scored. However, it all depends on your districts individual bylaws.  As I see it now Maryville is plus 11 and HVA is plus 9, a win of 3-0 would put them in first.

@Red Rebel: They only use District Opponents for the differential.  The way HV and Mville will pan out is that they share the Regular Season District Title, but HV receives higher seed based on their thumping of Farragut.

Each District is allowed to vote on their own rules and District 4 voted to end in ties.

Thank you. I followed the score on twitter. The heavy rain and an early goal must have demoralized FHS. 6-0, called at the half.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say ..
