wow -- it depends on the district bylaws -- they could be different for each district. One might argue that Marcus lost to Plano East -- why is that not factored in? -- they lost to a weaker opponent. From my perspective the districts should do everything possible to avoid a coin flip scenario -- telling a senior that his HS career is over because his AD called heads is tough to take.
I know there is at least one guy out there that reads this site that also knows the 8-5A bylaws. Maybe he will contribute here. In any case, it has turned out to be an exciting race.
H&U -- I didn't think I'd see your team in this situation.
Pantherdad,
Marcus losing to Plano East is not factored in becasue Plano East is not involved in the tiebreaker. When we break ties, we break them 1st with head-to-head games against the teams involved in tie-breaker.
Sure, each districts rules could differ slightly. But universally speaking, most tiebreakers are settled by starting with head-to-head record among the teams that are tied. If that is the case, then FM would be left out!
Believe me, I feel the pain of the team that is left out!
