I think Devils posted this, but I couldn't find it. There is a good possibility Dinwiddie and EV will tie. How is that decided? They don't have common opponents, but EV scheduled teams will end up with a better win lose record... I also wanted to confirm that Meadowbrook is actually a 3 win team vs previously noted as a four win team. That two points is huge.
Tie breakers?
- Thread starter EVcyc
- Start date

(j) The group chairman or vice chairman if the chairman's school is involved,
shall draw by lot to determine the playoff representative. Should both the group chair and
vice chair be involved in the tie the group secretary would oversee the process.
Ok thats Great! Thanks for the validation. Max preps had them as a 3 win, they don't have the Colonial win... Tie breaker is moot then...
Maxpreps is so unreliable. They have tons of wrong information on there in so many areas. It's definitely not a good reference site
I think they rely on coaches to send the information, so that is why it is not up-to-date
I think you are right. Coaches, or someone else previously accepted to provide information, is their source. They, Maxpreps, apparently do no fact checking until someone submits updated reliable information.
