Maybe the best example is Smyrna, Stewarts Creek, and LaVergne. All have played 9 games overall with two games remaining. Smyrna has 2 COVID region wins and Stewarts Creek and LaVergne have 1 each.

Cancellation of Contests due to COVID 19 Games cancelled due to COVID 19 shall be treated as follows:

 

Football - TSSAA Regulations require teams to play a district/region schedule for playoff purposes.

Regular season standings and the building of postseason brackets are done by TSSAA staff which creates the need for consistency on how cancellations are handled. Therefore, the following procedures are in place when a team is unable to play due to a COVID 19 outbreak or school system mandate.

 

1. Region Game- The game will go on record as a no contest for the school that is unable to play due to the outbreak or school system mandate. The school that could have played will receive a region win and overall win in the standings if the school can not replace the game with a new opponent on the same week it was originally scheduled to occur. If the school that could have played does replace the game with another opponent on the same week it was originally scheduled to occur, the school receives a Region win in the standings and the outcome of the game will be used in the overall standings.

 

2. Non Region Game- The game will go on record as a no contest for the school that is unable to play due to the outbreak or school system mandate. The school that could have played will receive a win in the overall standings if the game is not replaced. If the school that could play does replace the game with another opponent, the outcome of the game will be used in the overall standings.

This guy is like a Karen wanting to speak to the manager and demanding something be done for his team so they can dodge Hillsboro.

The procedure for Covid and scheduling was laid out prior to the season starting. The vast majority of the games have been played with the exceptions of metro and Memphis. There have also been an amou

Not in my eyes.  Lots of obstacles other than who is across the field.  A championship is a championship.

Based on the published rules, schools that play the 11th game won't be eligible for the post-season is what it looks like.

Might have been simpler to just say if you can't play for any reason it is a loss and the other team gets an automatic win. 

Also if you reschedule a game with another team due to the original opponent being unable to play then the outcome of that game does not count for playoff seeding purposes.

BUT  I still dont know how to handle a situation where BOTH teams could not play (i.e. two metro nashville schools that would have been able to play each other had they been allowed to).

They're just not counted for post-season.  Other districts will have an advantage because of it.  Same with Memphis.

I think is pretty clear.  Counts as a W but not a loss.  It is what it is.  To me it is a good reward for the Gallatin community leadership for being non political and allowing the kids to play.  Plus I don't think it is fair to assume Hillsboro beats them.  

One other team that really caught a break was Summit.  They win the region without playing Shelbyville when Summits best player was injured last week. On top of that they will now get Gallatin in the second round instead of Hillsboro.

Incorrect. No demanding here! We all understand this is a nightmare year. It is what it is. Shelbyville will likely beat Hillsboro anyway. Gallatin will catch a major break by playing possibly Page instead of Shelbyville. The only point I was making is what, if anything, is the TSSAA doing about scenarios like this everywhere? Why not, for instance, have Gallatin and Hillsboro play in Week 11 for common sense purposes? It’s simple questions, not demands. It’s also very much curiosity on a year like this. I’m telling you, regardless, this seeding process is going to be wild!

They can't play week 11 because they both have region games in both week 10 and 11. One region game does not take priority over another.

Gallatin is 5-5 overall and 2-0 in the region (including 2 COVID wins) and still play Beech and Glencliff for its “11th and 12th game”.

Gallatin is not 5-5.  They are 3-5.  They are 3-0 in region play but not overall record.  Gallatin has a 10 game season and the Covid wins are not counted on overall record.  It’s pretty simple, I do not understand the confusion.  You have to separate region games from regular season unless they have an actual contest.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that.

      The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.

      I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
