Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted August 23, 2012 Report Posted August 23, 2012 Is it different district by district or all the same across the board?

Fortunately, most use the same set of tie breakers so there is not so much difference. Most go by head to head records and if that doesn't settle the tie, the "positive point" tie breaker (the one that uses the point diffential in games amongst the tied teams) with a 21 point cap on the margin of victory.

Mostly the 21 point cap, so if a team is still gunning after 21 point gap then they are just not playing "sportsmanly"?
WOSgrad Posted August 23, 2012 Report Posted August 23, 2012 I think it is more to eliminate an excuse for "gunning." That way the coach doesn't have the "well I had to keep throwing bombs because of the potential tiebreaker.Although, it is there, the point cap doesn't come into play that frequently as with a positive points tiebreaker you usually have at least 3 pretty evenly matched teams who have identical district records. Blowouts amongst those teams don't happen real often.
liltex Posted August 24, 2012 Report Posted August 24, 2012 I like it also,1 exception when we play the ant mound ;D
