3 way tie for district

[Emerson1]

In Forney's district 15-4A, pretty good chances each of the teams with 1 loss win out.

Forney, Lancaster, West Mesquite.

Each teams district loss is to one of these other teams.

How would the champion be decided in this situation?

You would have to get a copy of the district bylaws for your district. Each and every district's District Executive Committee in the state determines what tiebreak method will be used.

What are some commonly used possibilities?

Most common is the point differential tiebreak with a cap on maximum points

For example if three teams are tied:

Team A beats Team B by 21 (with a 14 point cap) - Team A gets +14, Team B gets -14

Team B beats Team C by 8 (with a 14 point cap) - Team B gets +8, Team C gets -8

Team C beats Team A by 15 (with a 14 point cap) - Team C gets +14, Team A gets -14

The totals would be:

Team A: 14-14 = 0
Team B: -14 + 8 = -6
Team C: -8 + 14 = +6

Resulting in:

1st - Team C
2nd - Team A
3rd - Team B

Other Districts STILL use a coin flip in the event of a tie, and others use Positive point differential in which only the margin of victory of games won are counted.

Using the same example above the positive point differential tiebreak would go something like this:

Team A won their game by 21 points
Team B won their game by 8 points
Team C won their game by 15 points

Resulting in:

1st - Team A
2nd - Team C
3rd - Team B


Those are the probably the 3 most common methods that districts around the states use with the cap on points varying wildly from as low as 12 to as high as 21
