X. DISTRICT PLAY AND ADVANCEMENT INTO PLAYOFF SERIES
A.District Assignments -
The Board of Directors shall determine the number of districts for each classification.
B. District Schedules -
A chairman for each district shall be appointed by the OSSAA. If it is necessary, each chairman shall call a meeting of the representatives of the schools in his/her district to complete district schedules. Games between any two schools of a district will be alternated between their home fields unless otherwise mutually agreed upon. The entire district schedule must be completed before contracts for games with schools outside the district will become binding. Each team is to play all other teams of the assigned district. In district play, games are to be played on Friday unless there is mutual agreement, between both schools involved, to play on another day of the week.
C. The first, second, third and fourth place finishers in classes from each district shall be eligible to participate in the elimination
games.
D. District Standings -The first, second, third and fourth place finishers in each district shall be determined in percentage of games won and lost in district play. In case two or more teams are tied in percentage of games won and lost in district play, the
highest available position in the district standings and next highest available position(s) in the district standing shall be determined in the following manner:
1. When two teams are tied in percentage of district games won and lost, the highest available position in the district standings
will go to the team that won over the other in district play. The team that lost to the other tied team will occupy the next highest available position in the district standings.
2. When three or more teams are tied in percentage of district games won and lost, the highest available position in the district
standings will go to the team that won over the other tied teams in district play. The next highest available position in the
district standings will go to the team that won over the remaining tied team(s) in district play. This procedure shall continue
until all available positions are filled.
3. When three or more teams are tied in percentage of games won and lost in district play, and no team is the winner over the
other tied teams in percentage of games won and lost in district play, the representative(s) for the highest available position(s)
in the district standings shall be determined by:
a) Total the marginal points each tied team had in all district games only. Marginal points will be the difference in score.
Winners will add the difference in score to their marginal point total and losers will subtract the difference in score from
their marginal point total. No team will add more nor subtract more than fifteen points in any district game. Example:
Winning score, Team A, 21 points; Team B, 18 points; Team A will add three points to its marginal point total and Team
B will subtract three points from its marginal point total. No team will add more nor subtract more than one point in any
district game that goes into overtime(s). The team with the greatest number of marginal points will occupy the highest
available position in the district standings. The team which has the next greatest number of marginal points will occupy
the next highest available position in the district standings. This procedure shall continue until all available positions are
filled. Any time two teams are tied in marginal points, the teams shall advance in the order as to which team won over
the other in district play.
b) In the event ties cannot be broken by the criteria in the paragraph (s) above, the highest available position in the district
standings shall be determined by lot. After lot has decided the highest available position in the district standings when
three teams are tied in marginal points, the next highest available position in the district standings will go to the team that
won over the other tied team in district play. When four teams are tied in marginal points, the highest available
position in the district standings will be decided by lot. The next highest available position in the district standings will go to the
team that won over the other two tied teams in district play. If the next available position in the district standings
cannot be determined by who won over the other tied teams, then lot will determine the next highest available position in the
district standings. The two remaining tied teams will determine their district standing position by which team won over
the other in district play.
4. Should it become necessary for a representative to be determined by lot, the OSSAA will call a meeting of the involved
schools and conduct the necessary procedure to determine the representative.
5. If the first, second, third, or fourth place team in any class does not elect to play or is ineligible to play in the elimination
games, the Board of Directors shall select the next team in line until a team is found to represent the district in the play-off series.
