LEAGUE RULES FOR A “TIE BREAKER”

We will incorporate the following procedures to determine the League Champions if a “tie” exists at the end of the season.

Two-Schools tied: these procedures will follow in order until the tie is broken.

1- Won-loss results of head-to-head competition between the two schools.

2- Won-loss record of the two schools versus the highest seeded school (proceeding through the lowest seed if necessary-division contests first; mutual non-division contests if applicable)

3- Roads wins

4- Home wins

5- Coin Toss

Three or more schools tied: these procedures will be followed in order until tie is broken (once three way tie is broken we will revert to 2-team tiebreaker)

1- Won-loss record of tied schools versus each other.

2- Won-loss record of the two schools versus the highest seeded school (proceeding through the lowest seed if necessary-division contests first; mutual non-division contests if applicable)

MIDDLE SCHOOL/HIGH SCHOOL ELIGIBILITY(FHSAA)

OBSERVE THE 24 HOUR WAITING PERIOD BEFORE THEY MAY RETURN TO PARTICIPATE AT

THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL. A PLAYER MUST PLAY IN 50% OF MIDDLE SCHOOL LEAGUE

GAMES TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR POSTSEASON PLAY (in the case of an uneven number of games we

would round up. Ex: 5 games ,must play in 3). A PLAYER IS LIMITED TO PLAYING IN A TOTAL OF

THREE GAMES A WEEK. THIS IS TO PREVENT A SCHOOL PLAYING IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP

GAME WITH A DIFFERENT TEAM THAN THAT OF WHICH THEY HAD DURING THE SEASON.
