Does anyone know the procedure for resolving regional seeds if two teams have identical region records? If Fort D. beats Summerville Tuesday, both teams will have identical region record with three losses. How do we break the tie?

it may be goal differential

Do overall records count in tie breakers?....good question old ref....

I believe each region, or whoever is in charge, decides for itself. It's unique for each region, but all of the coaches in the region should know as it should have been decided on prior to the season.

on the same note...if two number 1 seeds should meet in the lower or upperstate playoffs, which team gets home-field advantage? Does it go to head-to-head or overall record or maybe even region record?

i thought they had a playoff match to see who claims first place in the region!

No good answers yet. There is still a very large possibility of a tie in regiion 8, 4-A either for first or second. does anyone remember this coming up in region 8 before?

This came up in region 8 last year. I think it was decided by goals allowed. Not 100% positive though.

it happened with HH and Summerville last year first head to head in both game HH won the first one 2-0 then Summerville did the same then RECORDS they were tie so they went to a coin toss

Did they really go to a coin toss?

they did in friday night lights.

Each region has its own method for determining tie breakers. To my knowledge they are not published to the general public, but the coaches for each region should know them.

Here's a rundown as best I understand it. As many predicted, it's coming down to the wire this year...for 2nd place anyway.
The tie breaker that we've used in the past comes from the hsl handbook. First decider is head to head competition. The decider then goes to a points system giving more points for wins against higher seeded teams within the region. If still tied the higher seed will then go to the team with the higher winning percentage outside of the region excluding tournaments and then including tournaments. After that it would go to the team with the most number of wins outside the region excluding then including tournaments. After that it would go to a coin toss. It did last year but probably won't this year. There's an alternative system that incorporates goals against but the region coordinator didn't use it last year and probably wouldn't this year.
Confusing enough?
