How does West Fork - Dayton winner get a playoff spot?  Lake Creek should have the inside lane for 4th.

I got yall for the win but would not be surprised if the Pirates make this one a game or win altogether.  Give me HF 30-21.

How do tie breakers work in this district? If there are just 2 teams tied would it be head to head? What if there are 3 teams tied. Ive heard each district is different.

[Eazy]

Totally depends on the district.  Some use positive points and some use positive/negative points.

Hopefully that counts against district opponents only. Some could be gifted from their cupcake pre district schedule if its yearly total

Just points differentials for the three tied teams in games against each other.

Two tie is head to head.

Three way goes to positive points in the games played between the three teams. 10-4A DI has a positive point max of 18.

Example, if team A beat team B by 14 points, but lost to team C by 7, then team A would be +7 in points.

Team B beat team C by 14 points, team B would be 0 points. Team C would be -7 points.

Therefore team A would be #1 seed, team B #2 seed, team C #3 seed.

But, some districts only use this system to break three way tie. Once it's broken to determine top seed, then it goes to head to head for the remaining two teams. 

Not sure if 10-4A DI does the tiebreaker in that manner.

[Eazy]

“But, some districts only use this system to break three way tie. Once it's broken to determine top seed, then it goes to head to head for the remaining two teams. “

So, basically the team most blown out (loses by the largest margin) gets the next seed.  And that’s why that tiebreaker doesn’t work and shouldn’t be used.

There is a cap on the points. It's 18 for 10-4A DI.

So a team could beat a team by 40, but it would only count as +18 for the tiebreaker.

So how would you determine a three way tie if it's not by points?

[Eazy]

Points is fine. I’m speaking specifically for a 3 way tie when 2 teams must advance.  I don’t like reverting to head and head after the first tiebreaker.  If A beats B by 18, then B also goes because they would have won the head to head with C.

for example:
A > B = 18, B > C = 4, C > A = 10.  

Total point diff would be A = 8, B = -14, C = 6.  
But, A and B advance.

I tend to agree.

If you use points as a tiebreaker, then use it all the way through.

Most districts do this but there are some that use points to break three way then head to head for the remaining two teams.

Follow up: 

what happens in this scenario?

Dayton: beat WF, lose to PNG (district record: 3-4)

WF: lose to Dayton, beat LC (district record: 3-4)

LC: beat Splendora, lose to WF (district record: 3-4) 

Dayton would have tie-breaker over WF, WF would have tie-breaker over LC, and LC would have tie-breaker over Dayton.

Goes to positive points.

I believe this district point cap is 21.

Based on the one result (LC beat Dayton, 50-26) we already have, these are the current point totals for those three teams:

Lake Creek +21

West Fork 0

Dayton -21

 

With 2 more results to be determined, those point totals will change.

Let's say Dayton beats WF by 17, then they will finish with a point total of -4. WF would current be at -17.

Then let's say WF beats LC by 7. Then WF would finish at -10 and LC would finish at +14.

So with those results, LC would be #3 seed, Dayton #4 seed and WF out.

But, I do not know if this is one of those districts that only uses positive points just to break three way then go head to head with remaining two teams. If that was the case, the seeds would still be the same with the example scenario that I posted.

Of course, those two games yet to be played could change the point totals quite a bit from my example.

Only thing for sure we know is the current point totals for Dayton and Lake Creek.

To clarify, Huntsville is still in the picture and likely to be 3rd seed (assuming they beat Nederland and Splendora), so this three-way discussion is just for who gets 4th. 
 

Next question: What do mean “21 point cap”? I’m not following how the points tie breaker works.

Follow-up to my last question: I’m following how the point differentials move, I’m just not sure where “21” fits into it.

Never mind - I should have read the whole thread. You already answered it.

Forgot about Huntsville. My bad.

Yes this would be for 4th.

21 point cap is a total points cap differential in a singular game. Some districts have 15, 18 and 21. It's in place so that teams cannot "run up" the score to improve their playoff chances.

[Eazy]

This is Lake Creek for the 4 seed unless, in that scenario, maybe West Fork beats Lake Creek by 21.  That’s not happening. 
I can’t see any scenario for Dayton other than win the last 2 games and hope Lake Creek loses to West Fork.
