Dayton - District Champs?

[Guest whoabroncos09]

1. Lumberton's share of the title is now tainted-like Barry Bonds

2. Crosby is the one who should be complaining after all they will now have to play the better team.

(6) Determination of Tie Breaker Process. The district executive committee shall determine in writing

prior to a contest’s season the method to determine the district representatives in the event two or

more schools are tied in win-loss percentages.

Seems like a lot of y'all have a problem with *reading comprehension*...  Determining the District Representatives is NOT the same as *seeding*.  Determining the District Representative means that the District Committee will have a tiebreaker procedure in place to decide *which* teams qualify for the playoffs, NOT the seeding!

from the UIL WEBSITE

look it up yourself if you want.

Section 28: DISTRICT EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

(i) RESPONSIBILITIES. In addition to those responsibilities found elsewhere in the UIL Constitution and

Contest Rules for a district executive committee, it shall have the following responsibilities:

(1) Enforcement. The district executive committee shall enforce all rules contained in the UIL

Constitution and Contest Rules. This includes assessing a penalty for every rule violation.

(2) Investigations. The district executive committee shall investigate the eligibility of contestants.

(3) Assist Other Participant Schools. The district executive committee shall furnish, upon the request of

participant schools in the district, a list of eligible players submitted by each participant school.

(4) Disputes; Eligibility Questions. The district executive committee shall try to settle within the district

all disputes and shall decide all questions of eligibility according to the Constitution and Contest

Rules. The district executive committee may, by majority vote, request the State Executive Committee

to assume original jurisdiction of disputes or eligibility questions.

(5) Notification of Appeals. The district executive committee shall make appeals in writing to the Chair of

the State Executive Committee, through the UIL Director.

(6) Determination of Tie Breaker Process. The district executive committee shall determine in writing

prior to a contest’s season the method to determine the district representatives in the event two or

more schools are tied in win-loss percentages.

This clearly states that the rules for tiebreaker are to be set up before the beginning of the contest's season.  NOT in a 2:30 meeting on the day of the last game.  

No one from Dayton wants to take ANYTHING away from Lumberton.  The manner in which the rules were changed is what is is wrong.  We have no beef with playing whoever is set out in front of us that was NEVER the issue.  No one is crying about playing Crosby.  We are ticked about the way the rules are interpreted by the DEC

One more thing....

ALL YOU FOLKS WHO SAY HEAD TO HEAD determines the outcome of the seeding answer this question.  Last year in basketball Dayton and Central had the SAME record at the end of the year.  However DAYTON had beaten Central 2 times in head to head competition.  But, the 22-AAAA executive committee decided that a coin flip was necessary to determine the seeding for the teams.  NOT HEAD TO HEAD.  Why is it that when the head to head competition worked in favor of a Dayton team that head to head did not matter, but when head to head worked against a Dayton team head to head results mattered??  I know that they are different sports but the scenario was the same.

We will have the complete story soon...Probably Monday...We'll get in touch with the Lumberton Administration and find out the other half of the story

It is important to note that all the information we have at this point is from a member of the Dayton coaching staff. Everyone should withhold all speculation until both sides are clearly known.

Lastly, until we know exactly what happened, any criticism directed at administrative officials will be treated as a strike against you, and you will receive a warning..3 warnings is grounds for a ban...you may simple refer to the town, but not the administrators.
