2009-2010

TOURNAMENT  FORMAT

 

 

 

In AAAA, we are a region unto ourselves.  At the conclusion of the 10th week of the season, (November 7, 2009), the sixteen (16) Teams with the highest point average will qualify for the District One Playoffs.  The eight (8) Teams with the highest point average will host the 1st Round Games.  The same format will prevail for the following three (3) weeks. Play begins the weekend of November 13/14.

 

In AAA, eight (8) Teams with the highest point total will qualify for the District Playoffs.  The teams will begin to play on the weekend of November 13/14, play single elimination for 3 consecutive weekends, and the winner will play the District 12 champion on the weekend of December 4/5

 

In AA, the three (3) District One Teams will compete with eleven  (11) teams from District Twelve for the four (4) places in that Sub-Region tournament.  For the 2009 season, the top Catholic League Team will play the top Public/Charter League team for the first round, which will also determine the District Twelve 2A Champion.  The top-ranked team from District One will play the next highest rated team in District Twelve (either Public, Charter, or Catholic).  These two games will be played on November 13/14.  The winners of those two games will play on November 20/21.  The winner of that game will play the Champion of District Eleven on November 27/28.

 

 

In A, the five (5) District One Teams will compete with six (6) Teams from District Twelve for positions in the four (4) Team Sub-Region bracket.  The top ranked team from each District will receive an automatic bid.  The next two teams with the highest rank in the Sub-Region will be selected to complete the four (4) team bracket.  The teams will then be ranked by point average for placement in the bracket on November 13/14, Team #1 will play Team #4 and Team #2 will play Team #3.  The winners of those two games will play on November 20/21 to determine which one will play the Champion from District Eleven on November 27/28.

 

The total bracket scenario will be shown on the District One website.  www.district-one.net

 

                                     

FOOTBALL POINT SYSTEM

 

CLASSIFICATION

 

Each team must have a PIAA Classification.  A Non-Member school of the PIAA must submit a form to the PIAA School it plays on which the male enrollment at the school for grades 10, 11, and 12 is noted and the form is signed by the Principal or Headmaster.  That total number is then placed within the enrollment ranges established by the PIAA to determine the classification of the school. 

 

POINT  SYSTEM

 

Listed below is a chart that explains points earned when you defeat a school.  There are no points awarded for a loss.

 

          4A               3A               2A               1A

4A     100             80               60               40

3A     120             100             80               60

2A     140             120             100             80

1A     160             140             120             100

 

                             READ  ACROSS

 

EXAMPLE:

 

4A defeats 2A = 60 points

3A defeats 4A = 120 points

1A defeats 1A = 100 points

 

In addition to the points earned for a win, there are bonus points earned under these conditions:

 

For any team that you defeat, you receive 10 points for every win that team has on its schedule before and after you defeat them.  While the “win points” are related to the classification of your school and that of the opponent, the “ bonus points” are not.  The bonus points are not related to team classifications.

 

At the conclusion of the first ten (10) weekends of the season, the “ win points” are added to the “bonus points” and their sum is divided by the number of games that you played during those ten (10) weeks.  The averages established for each team are placed in rank order to determine which teams make the playoffs.

 

TIE BREAKING PROCEDURE FOR FINAL SEASON STANDINGS

 

1-   If teams played each other during the season, the winner would be ranked higher.

2-   Compare the won-loss – tie records of common opponents of the tied schools using 10 points for a win, 5 point for a tie and zero for a loss.

3-   Compare the won-loss-tie records of the regular season contests for each tied school that were used to determine the rankings-using the point system described above.

4-   Determine the winning percentage of the common opponents that the tied schools played.

5-   Determine the winning percentage of the regular season opponents that the tied schools played.

6-   Determine which team yielded the fewest points when the tied teams played each other during the regular season.

7-   Determine which of the tied teams yielded the fewest points when they played against common opponents.

8-   Determine which of the tied teams yielded the fewest points when they played against their regular season opponents.

9-   Flip a coin.

* =    TIE BROKEN BY PIAA TIE-BREAKER

 

NOTE:  The Public League in Philadelphia conducts their own city championship tournament that precedes the PIAA football tournament.  This occurs in the AA and A classifications.  The Catholic League, which like the Public League is a member of District 12, has no Class A football teams but have a League championship tournament for their AA schools.

 

For purposes of having a common format of determining which teams enter the PIAA “A” and “AA” playoffs, only games that

Are played during the regular season are counted in the tabulation of points that leads to determining positions in the PIAA “AA and A” playoffs where teams from both District I and Districts 12 are co-mingled. Therefore, for point tabulation purposes, the first seven (7) weeks of the Public League schedule and the first eight (8) weeks of the Catholic League schedule will count. Games played as part of the Public and Catholic League championship play offs will not be counted.

 

REMEMBER: The final standings for playoff purposes is determined by points a team earns by defeating teams of different classifications divided by the number of games the team plays by a cut-off date.  The resulting average determines the team’s seeded position in the PIAA play offs.
