Note for the Second Round Matches on May 2nd: The team that traveled in the first round will be the home team in the second round match and provide the playing facility. If both teams traveled or neither team traveled, the team on the bottom of the bracket will be the home team for the second round.  If two teams from the same section meet, the team with the highest finish in the area standings will be the home team.

  Section Playoffs
(From the 2009 AHSAA Spring Book – revised)

DATES: Each section in both divisions must determine its winner prior to April 23.

COORDINATOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES: The designated coordinator of each section must have an organizational meeting of all participating section schools before Feb. 1 to finalize details of section play, including scheduling and establishing a procedure for making up or completing rained-out or suspended matches. Section matches take precedence over all other matches.

FORMAT: Each team in the section must play each section opponent two regular season matches (one at each school's site) prior to April 23 in order to qualify for the state playoff. The winner and runner-up teams, based on the won-loss percentage against qualified section opponents, will represent the section in the first sub-state round.

If a team plays another team in its section more than twice, only the first regular season match at each site will count in determining section winning percentage.

Wilson balls must be used in all section matches.

TIE-BREAKING PROCEDURE

In case of ties by two or more teams for a certain place in the final “required contest” (area/region/section) standings, follow the tie-breaking procedure and apply the tiebreakers in the order listed, beginning with (a).

1. Resolve all two-team ties first, using tiebreaking factor (a).

2. If two or more teams are tied for one of the qualifying places in a sport, first resolve the tie for the highest of those places in the standings, then the next highest place in the standings, etc.

3. To resolve the team rankings if more than two teams are tied, determine the highest-ranked team by applying the tiebreakers in the order listed, beginning with (aa). Until the highest-ranked team has been determined, no consideration will be given to determining the ranking of the other teams involved in that tie.  After the highest ranked team has been resolved, then the next highest-ranked team will be determined by applying the same tiebreakers, beginning with (a) or (aa) as necessary.

4. If a certain tiebreaker does not apply to the tie being resolved, apply the next tiebreaker in the order listed for that sport.

5. Forfeited contests count as losses. A team that intentionally forfeits a required game becomes ineligible for championship competition for the remainder of that classification period plus the next classification period in that sport.

6. If two area, region or section teams elect to play each other more than the required number of contests during the same season, the first contest played (or first at each site if two are required in a sport) will be used in computing standings unless the State Office is otherwise notified in writing by both schools prior to the season. The other contest(s) will be treated as non-required contest(s).

7. Contests against teams that are not eligible for the championship program and contests in regular season tournaments are not used in figuring any tiebreakers.

IF TWO TEAMS TIE . . .

(a)…the team that defeated the other in its two required regular season contests will be placed above the other tied team. The team that lost its head-to-head contest(s) will qualify for the next highest place.

(b)…and the two teams split their two regular season required contests, the team that had the highest winning percentage in any non- required contests against each other will be placed above the other tied team. The team with the lower percentage will qualify for the next highest place.

(c)…and the two teams split their two regular season required contests, the team that had the highest winning percentage in any non-required contests against the other required teams. (In order for this tiebreaker to apply, each tied team must have played the same number of non-required contests against any of the other “required teams.)

(d)…and the two teams split their two regular season required contests, the team that had the highest winning percentage against all non-required common opponents in their class. (In order for this tiebreaker to apply, each tied team must have played the same number of non-required teams in their class.)

(e)…and the two teams split their two regular season required contests, the team that had the highest winning percentage against all non-required common opponents in their class and above. (In order for this tiebreaker to apply, each tied team must have played the same number of non-required contests in their class and above.)

(f)…and the two teams split their two regular season required contests, the team that had the highest winning percentage against all non-required common opponents. (In order for this tiebreaker to apply, each tied team must have played the same number of non-required contests.)

(g) By flip of a coin.

IF MORE THAN TWO TEAMS TIE …

(aa) …the team that had the highest winning percentage against all the other tied teams will be placed ahead of all the other tied teams. (Note: If one of the teams does not have a higher winning percentage than all the other tied teams, the tie cannot be resolved by this factor.)

(bb)…the team that had the highest winning percentage in any non-required contests against each other will be ranked ahead of all the other tied teams. (In order for this tiebreaker to apply, each tied team must have played the same number of non-required contests against all the other required teams.)

(cc) …the team that had the highest winning percentage in any non-required contests against the other required teams will be ranked ahead of all the other tied teams. (In order for this tiebreaker to apply, each tied team must have played the same number of non-required games against all the other required teams.)

(dd)…the team with the best winning percentage against non-required common opponents.

(ee) …the team whose defeated required opponents have the most victories.

(ff) …the team with the most victories if all teams involved in the tie play an equal number of total games.

(gg)…the team with the most victories.

(hh) By flip of a coin

WINNING, RUNNER-UP COACHES' RESPONSIBILITY: The coach of each section winner and runner-up team must fax (334-387-0075) or email ( staff@ahsaa.com ) the section qualifiers for sub-state play along with the time of first round sub-state matches to the State Office by 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, April 23. Also, coaches of teams advancing to sub-state play must immediately mail a team tournament roster to state tournament director Ralph Stone (Huntsville) for possible use in the state tournament program.
