What are the TSSAA rules for breaking a tie as far as playoff position? There could be a very sticky situation in 5A region 1 with 3 teams being tied and a playoff spot on the line. Jefferson Co holds the tie-breaker over Campbell Co,Campbell Co holds the tie-breaker over Sevier Co, and Sevier Co holds the tie-breaker over Jefferson Co. If all three teams end up 6-4 records and 4-3 in the region, who makes the playoffs?

I like your thinking ChrisB5+, but how are the Cougars already in if the scenario as JC4 describes plays out? The loss by Jeff Co to Sevier Co messed up a solid lock for the Cougars since Jeff Co. owns the tie-breaker over the Cougars. Please explain how the Cougars are already in? Thanks!

In a three-way tie like what you have mentioned actually goes to points against. It seems llike this is an issue every year in Region 1-5A. I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think overall points against are weighed first; then, if their are further ties, scored points are used to determine seed.

Here is how the tie breakers work.

 

First, if a team has defeated one of the others, they get the higher ranking.

 

If that does not decide it, it goes to total number of wins

 

If that does not decide it, it goes to the team with most victories over teams winning 50% of their games

 

Next, it goes to the team, whose opponents have the most victories

 

This goes on a little more. For full details go to the link below.

I guess it will all be figured out the last week of the season, its just too close to call at this point. I`m going to be rooting against both Sevier Co and Campbell these next two weeks. CC has a better chance of losing two, than Sevier Co has of losing one, so I`m going to be the biggest Karns and DB fan in the world.

    • A little confused.  What charter/prep schools made it to state in Baseball?  
    • Fortuitously encountering Clint amidst the ambience of Goodyear this morning sparked an impromptu yet intellectually stimulating conversation, wherein we engaged in a rigorous assessment of prospective candidates for the esteemed role of head football coach. Our discourse, characterized by its spontaneity and depth, led to the formulation of astute observations and discerning judgments regarding the suitability of various individuals for this pivotal position. Allow me to elucidate the fruits of our collaborative contemplation: This commentary endeavors to offer a discerning articulation of my subjective viewpoint, emphasizing a conscientious commitment to maintaining impartiality and refraining from any semblance of derogation directed towards individuals.  Those who possess meritorious qualifications for the esteemed head coaching role, delineated without hierarchical precedence, include: Rennard Woodmore, an esteemed alumnus of the Yellow Jackets, presents a magnificent pedigree, having held prominent positions in head coaching capacities across various regions. His pivotal role as a coordinator for teams contending for state championships further enhances his stature in the realm of football leadership. Kyle Gregory, erstwhile adorned in the resplendent gold insignia, though lacking direct head coaching experience, brings to the fore his invaluable insights garnered as a coordinator for esteemed teams, showcasing an acute understanding of the requisites for triumph whilst attired in the esteemed purple and gold regalia. Steven Jackson, whose contributions transcended mere clipboard duties under the tutelage of Kevin Creasy, emerges as an exceptional candidate for Trousdale County. His prior tenure and triumphs as an assistant coach underscore his suitability for the role. The sole drawback lies in his lack of affiliation with Trousdale County as an alumnus. Brandon Eden's extensive tenure within the chronicles of Trousdale County football, spanning a significant portion of its State Championships, coupled with his successful stints as a coordinator across diverse locales, underscores his candidacy despite a dearth of direct head coaching experience at the high school level. Davy Cothron, while beset by a modest playing career, has emerged as a luminary in offensive strategy, drawing parallels to the transformative appointment of Barker in 2015, thereby warranting consideration for his proven acumen in this realm. Joshua Hackett, notwithstanding his non-alumnus status, has left an indelible imprint across Middle Tennessee, distinguished by his adept curation of formidable defensive units as a coordinator at Watertown, albeit without direct head coaching experience. Kevin Creasy, the epitome of coaching prowess, merits an offer irrespective of his current inclinations, his unparalleled capacity to secure victories transcending geographical and institutional bounds, potentially extending to a role as Director of Schools should it align with his aspirations. Conversely, individuals who have not demonstrably earned the mantle of head coaching, enumerated without sequential precedence, encompass: Brad Waggoner David Barker Paul Pitts Jeremy Pruitt Clint Satterfield Robbie Atwood Wesley Satterfield Ben Johnson BJ West Whom do you all deem most fitting to assume the mantle of the next coach, and what rationale informs your choice? Conversely, whom do you perceive as ill-suited for the role, and what underpins your reasoning for their exclusion?
    • He's a Clinton fan.  But I wouldn't admit that either.  
    • Their any schedule out their for team camp?
    • This sums it all up to perfection.
