THSLL Districts

North District News

Posted on February 01, 2016

The teams in the four divisions will play their required eight division games.  These eight division games will be scheduled and designated as “District” games on the THSLL schedule.  The team in each division with the best record against teams in their own division will be that division’s champion. 
RPI* and SOS** scores will be calculated for each team based on their eight division games, and will be provided to the coaches at our North DII post season meeting. 
Games played beyond the eight division games will not be included in RPI or SOS calculations.  Coaches will stack rank the other teams, not ranking their own team. 
If there are seven slots for the THSLL DII Post Season, our top fourteen teams will play a one-game playoff (1-14, 2-13, 3-12, 4-11, 5-10, 6-9, 7-8). 
We will seed the winning teams based on the stack rank done previously, and the teams will advance in that order to the THSLL DII Post Season. 
If there are six slots, our top twelve teams will play a one-game playoff.  We will seed the winning teams based on the stack rank done previously, and the six teams will advance in that order to the THSLL DII Post Season.

*  To calculate RPI (Rating Percentage Index), we will divide the sum of all opponents' “District” win percentages, excluding those games played against the team for which RPI is being calculated, by the total number of opponents.  Opponents' opponents' “District” win percentage is the average winning percentage of a team's opponents' opponents.  (RPI = (WP * 0.25) + (OWP * 0.50) + (OOWP * 0.25)) 

** To calculate SOS (Strength of Schedule), we will determine the cumulative “District” won/loss records of the team's opponents and the cumulative “District” won/loss records of the teams' opponents' opponents.
