Stuarts Draft VA
There are quite a few games that have major playoff implications this week, just assuming no MASSIVE upsets.

As discussed, Region D is handling their differently, but as for the others (just using points and with the caveat that all the teams are eligible.

Region A:
EVERY game factors into playoff position. King William is the only team to have clinched. They play the current 3 seed Poquoson. Yet even with a win, King William can still end as the 2 seed if Central Lunenburg beats Randolph Henry and Nottoway beats Amelia. If those happen, we have rematch from this week.

That seems pretty straightforward right? Well, just change the result of 1 game (Randolph Henry beats Central, then KW is 1, Nottoway 2, Randolph Henry 3, and Poquoson 4 (if Bruton beats Windsor, if not then Amelia is the 4 and Poquoson is out). The only way for Nottoway to miss out is to lose, have King William lose, and receive low rider points.

So a CRAZY week coming in Region A.

Region B:
As previously stated, Stuarts Draft has clinched the 1 seed, and assuming one of those massive upsets does occur, Strasburg will be the 2 seed. Page/Luray winner will be the 3 and travel to Strasburg. All of those will be decided on Thursday, but wouldn't you know it, from last look the final decider is scheduled for FRIDAY!!! as Buffalo Gap is scheduled to take on Fort Defiance on Good Friday. If Gap wins, they will be the 4 seed and travel back to Stuarts Draft for the rematch, if not it will be Clarke County (assuming a victory over Madison) traveling down 81 for a game that was originally scheduled before Covid struck.

Region C
As long as Nelson County doesn't improve by 78 points in a couple weeks time, Appomattox will be the 1 seed. Now who they would host is a whole 'nother ballgame. IF Dan River is eligible, they almost certainly have the 2 seed locked up (technically possible to lose it, see later). Glenvar is in with a totally expected win. Which means that Fort Chiswell and Radford will be fighting for that last spot. If Fort Chiswell wins both games this week, they would leap frog both Dan River and Glenvar and Radford is the odd man out. If Fort Chiswell wins one of them, the margin between them and Radford will be razor thin, and 2 losses they are out.

If Dan River is ineligible, just remove them from the above cases and have your answer as the 4 teams are set.

Region D
I'm going to trust the fellas on here who would certainly know more about that area then me, which means only 1 game matters which is the Graham vs Richlands game.

Central Wise will host Tazewell if Graham wins, and any of the 3 if Richlands wins.

Union travels to Graham if the G Men wins, or any of the 3 if Richlands wins.

Now, one of you guys has to answer something as I understand how these are set by what is reported. But how is John Battle eliminated since they still play Abingdon? If they pulled off that massive upsets, they would finish 3-1, Central 4-1, Abingdon 4-1, and Union 2-2.

Either way, these are the major storylines this coming week

It was determined that Abingdon created an unfair advantage for the M7 teams since they would have a 3A team on the schedule, and SWD teams wouldn't be able to schedule a 3A team themselves. So, all M7 games against Abingdon don't count. Neither do non district SWD games.

That left each Reg D 2A team with a schedule of 5 2A teams each. Since teams would only be playing games within the district, that counted at least, they felt it was only fair to select the top two teams in each district. This would also eliminate controversy in the event that one district was significantly better than the other from top to bottom.

John Battle cancelled 2 games, Ridgeview and Central, that they would have almost certainly lost. And even if Abingdon did count, there's a 99.99% chance that Battle will lose that game by a large margin. Same reason that Ridgeview is out as well, had to cancel 2 games.

The KW vs Poquoson game has been canceled this week. Issues on the Poquoson end. Not sure how that might affect the power points
