I will be the first to tell you that I do not understand the point system used by MSHSAA to determine these seeds. Some of the factors are strength of schedule, head to head records etc. It appears that not much will change in these standings after Friday Nights games, UNLESS Marshfield beats Catholic and West Plains gets surprised by the winless Rolla Bulldogs, and who knows what it will look like if Marshfield ends up 5-4 and Republic loses to Nixa and has a record of 3-6. Clear as mud? I guess that’s why we get to play the games.
As always you can watch Senior Night Friday as your Marshfield BlueJays will hit the Fighting Irish of Springfield Catholic. Kickoff is at 7!
After initially posting this story I went and researched and found the following information. Here is how the District point system works………..knock yourselves out!
District Seeding Procedures.
: a. Points for a Win/Loss or Tie i. 20 points for a win ii. 10 points for a loss iii. 15 points for an overtime loss iv. Add up the total points and divide by the number of games played. b. Points for Playing Up or Down a Class i. 10 points CREDIT for each class you play up (i.e., a Class 1 team plays a Class 3 team: 20 points). Divided by the number of games you played. ii. There are no points taken away for playing down. c. Points for Strength of Schedule i. Points from opponent‟s schedule by taking the sum of the win/loss record from each team you have played times the points for a win and loss, 10,20 minus your contribution to the opponents record, divided by the total number of games played minus the number of games you played. Your records is 5W/4L) Team A: 5W/4L = 5×20 + 4×10 = 140 Team B: 7W/2L = 7×20 + 2×10 = 160 Team C: 3W/6L = 3×20 + 6×10 = 120 Team D: 4W/5L = 4X20 + 5×10 = 130 Team E: 4W/5L = 4X20 + 5×10 = 130 Team F: 7W/2L = 7×20 + 2×10 = 160 Team G: 3W/6L = 3×20 + 6×10 = 120 Team H: 2W/7L = 2×20 + 7×10 = 110 Team I: 1W/8L = 1×20 + 8×10 = 100 Total games (8) Total points (1170) Minus the games you played (9) Minus the points you contributed (5 x 10 + 4×20 = 130) (81 – 9 = 72) (1170 – 130 = 1040) (1040/72 = 14.44)
d. Plus/Minus (+/-) 13 Points for the Score of the game i. You will calculate the point differential for each game played not to exceed +13 or -13. You will add the total points together and divide by the total number of games played. e. Calculating Your Points: Add all the points from the four categories above (a-d). Rank the points in order (highest to lowest) and the corresponding seed (highest to lowest, i.e., 1-8).
