The AAAA conference directs that each region will determine its own method for declaring Region Champions and all other region places for playoff situations. The following rules will apply in determining Region V AAAA places in all team sports that are applicable.
Each team in the region must play each other member of the region that fields a team in that sport. Volleyball, basketball, baseball, softball and soccer will require the region teams to play each other twice. In the event that any school refuses to play any other school in the same region, that school becomes ineligible for any playoff berth and forfeits to all other teams for the purpose of declaring champions and at-large teams.
The region regular season winner will be declared Region Champion based upon the best region won/lost record except cross country, golf and cheerleading where the Region Champion and other places are determined by the Region Tournament. In the event of a tie for the regular season winner (or for any place), the following will be used to break a tie.
If two (2) teams are tied, the head to head winner will be declared Region Champion. If the teams split their head to head match-up, the unit system will be used. In the case of a tie involving more than two teams, the team with the best record of the games involved amongst those tied teams will be seeded first. The two teams remaining will go to step 2C to break the tie between them. (Example: Team A split with Team B and beat Team C in all contests. Team A is seeded and Team B and Team C will then go to the Unit System). If the above method does not break a tie, the Unit System will be used to determine places. ALL games played will be included in this process, not just those games played within the tied teams.
If the teams split their head to head match-up, the unit system will be used to determine the Champion or any other place.
UNIT SYSTEM
A win over the 1st place team = 5 points
A win over the 2nd place team= 4 points
A win over the 3rd place team= 3 points
A win over the 4th place team= 2 points
A win over the 5th place team= 1 point
If more than two teams tie, points will be the average of the tied teams
If the Unit System does not break the tie, the following Region Point System will be used
AAAA Win=4 Loss=3
AAA Win=3 Loss=2
AA Win=2 Loss=1
A Win=1 Loss=0
