I think this should be up to date.

If Richland and FH finish with the same conference record, what is the tie breaker? Overall record, head to head, or due to playing some teams 2 times vs 1 time - record vs common opponent? I've hear all three mentioned.

[Crimson's Ghost]

No idea. First time the league has 13 teams and a playoff. So I don’t know the protocol.

After blowing a 25-9 1st period lead and eventually losing to Richland, Richland has the head to head covered. On the other hand, Richland lost twice to the Trojan-men, while FH beat them handily @ JHS. If FH doesn't beat BGU this Fri. in Sidman, it really doesn't matter since the Rangers dropped a couple games they should have won.

Tiebreaker:

h)         Tie Breaker for playoff places

1.         Head to head.
2.         Record vs. 1st place team, then 2nd place team, then third place team, etc.
(2-0 is better than 1-0 and 0-1 is better than 0-2) 
Note:  In the case of a multi-team tie, when #2 is used as the tie breaker, #1 should be evaluated after the team(s) is(are) eliminated.  Remaining teams revert to #1 and continue the process.
 
3.    If there is still a tie, the most recent team that played in the LHAC Championship shall be eliminated. (Rose Bowl Rule)  (3/4/09)
If neither team(s) has ever competed in the LHAC Championship, the tie shall be broken via a coin flip. (3/4/09)

Crazy to think that a potential conference champion could be decided by a coin flip. I mean really? If the teams split a 2 game series they couldn’t at least do margin of victories or something else quantitative as a tie breaker?

Seems like it would be pretty rare for it to get past the second tiebreaker.

Somerset handily beating Forest Hills has come back to bite them in the Ranger’s buttocks lol

I see Carson Errter is back playing w/ his mates @ BC.  Makes them the team to beat, I think.  On a side note, the state rankings from Sunbury published in the local paper shows Everett, D5, ranked with a record of 15-2.  The team no one ever hears about?  Who knows anything about them on the west side of the mountain?
