First ( ) Regular Season Record
Second ( ) Final Power Point Ranking
*Denotes At Large Team

The top three highest power rated teams in each region automatically qualify for the playoffs in all classes. The next
four highest power rated teams, regardless of region, are selected at-large. An at-large team that finishes fourth in
their region remains in their region. An at-large team finishing fifth or sixth in their region is moved to a new
region. The at-large team will be seeded where their power points rank them within the named region. The first
place team in each region will play the fourth place team and the second place team will play the third place team.
The highest seeded team will host throughout the playoff. NOTE: An at-large team may not host a first round
game, but may host in subsequent rounds.

11AA Only: The top 12 power rated teams qualify for the playoffs. The first 4 seeded teams will receive first round
byes.
If teams should tie for a qualifying spot because of identical point averages, then the tie will be broken by applying
the following criteria:
1. If tie teams played during the season, the winner of that game shall be the higher seed
2. The undefeated team shall be the higher seed
3. Team playing the most games shall be the higher seed
4. Team with the most victories shall be the higher seed
5. Team with the least losses shall be the higher seed
6. If tied teams played a common opponent during the season, if one team won and one team lost, the
winner shall be the higher seed
7. The average of the tying teams opponents power points, the highest average shall be the higher seed
