How do you break a three way tie in a district?

Good question--with no simple answer. The TSSAA handbook simply states: "Each region shall determine a champion by any method the region selects."

 

We have a similar case in District 15 with a potential 3-way tie between Bolton, Cordova and Westside for 2nd place. (Bartlett has a lock on 1st.) The MOST important thing is that the criteria be established PRIOR to the tie occuring. If you wait until afterwards, every school will argue for the tie-breaking criteria that will benefit them. So, this past Saturday the coaches sat down with the regional tournament director and established "largest margin of victory" as the deciding factor. When Bolton wrestles Westside on Thursday, Bolton must win by more points than their loss margin to Cordova (8, I believe). So:

 

If Westside wins, Westside is 2nd.

If Bolton wins by less than 9, Cordova is 2nd.

If Bolton wins by 9 or more, Bolton is 2nd.

 

This is not a perfect scenario, as the case could be made for common opponents, total pins, etc. What is most valuable, though, is that the decision was made well in advance of Thursday's meet. Hope this helps.

jonesj15, is the cougar not in the mix? in watching results through the fishwrap, looked like d-15 was going to be (1) panther, (2) wolves, then either one of the wildcats or cougar.

 

translation: if munford is not in the mix, then this really only matters for seeding at region duals since all four would are eligible.

    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure. 
    • This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.
    • Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.
    • It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers.    I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover. 
    • That's complete BS.  Nobody at ACHS has access to CHS student records unless a transfer is made from CHS to ACHS.
