Hey Public School, I’d like to thank you for posting such an insight analogy.
It’s good to know that every kid that plays for a catholic school is there on a scholarship and recruited.
Thank you for being so brilliant!
dw – The Eastern Conference is basically the NIT of HS Football. Teams that missed the playoffs may get picked for the Eastern Conference.
How do the Eastern Conference teams get picked?
Thanks for your work. Our district 4 website
has no info on playoffs.
quit whining about recruiting- you’re just not good enough- archbishop wood would win your pathetic district one in 4a and 3a
@Brad, Once the Eastern Conference champions are determined the season is over for those teams.
@Michael, We are still waiting word from District 4 on dates, times and locations.
Dates and times for D4 AA are not listed
@Kathi…catholic schools have the luxury of “recruiting” that public schools do not have, of course skill level is going to be a little different…its like Penn St playing the University of Penn…Penn St can give athletic scholarships, UPenn only gets students who can afford the school
What happens with the four winners of the Eastern Conference bracket? Is this a consolation bracket or are they not eligible to play for the state title in their respective class?
@Todd, the Eastern Conference dates, times and locations will be announced tomorrow afternoon. Stay tuned!
ok you public powder puffs- you have your brackets- now play with each other until the catholic league swoops down and flies back to hershey- Ridley has midgets for lineman and North Penn has no skill…………
Do you have dates and times for the Eastern Conference yet? You guys are doing an amazing job. I can’t begin to tell you how many calls this has saved me making today.
Thank you Paul. I had just updated the brackets prior to your post.
d 1/12 AA semis:
Comm Tech @ Bok
Del-Val @ West Catholic
thanks for the info Phil, but the reason i asked is there have been some rumors that the district 1 2A teams don’t want to play in the tournament. Which i hope isn’t the case.
It is not Power points, that should be a great unofficial look. but the system goes like this:
4 classification: A-AAAA
When you beat a team in your classification you are rewarded with 100 points +/- 20 points for each classification higher or lower than you are. So if a AA team beats a A team they are 100 – 20 = 80. But it a AA team beats a AAAA team they are rewarded 100 + 40 = 140. As bonus points, for every win the team you beat has you will be rewarded 10 addition points. So if a AAA team beats A team who was unbeaten in their other matchups and went 9-1, the point score is: 100-40=60 plus 90 = 150 points. To find out your playoff points for districts, do this to all the teams on a teams scheduel in which your team has won. Say you went 6-4 and played alot of teams higher in classification you may end up at 760 plus bonus points of the 6 teams you wons wins for a total of 310 more points for a total of 1120. Now when you compare all the teams there might be 9 teams in your classification and 4 make it in. suppose your team is in the #4 spot in point totals.
team a #1 went 9-1 and has a score of =1540
team b #2 went 10-0 but played teams under them and scored a =1480
team c #3 went 8-2 and got =1290
team d #4 is your team at 6-4 =1120.
team e #5 went 6-3 (only had a 9 game scheduel) and =1090
Now you get the total and divide it by the number of games played:
#1 team a 154
#2 team b 148
#3 team c 129
#4 team e 121.1
missing districts and possibly clinching EC if they are in that region: team d at 112.
last case i know of this happening was with Calvery Christian in either A or AA a few years back.
** teams that playa 7 game scheduel are elligable for playoffs, and if you play a team more than once you only get the bonus points once. So point wise it is better to play a 1-9 team 3 classifications twice a season and get 160 + 10 points for them once and 160 once than to play a 3-7 team in your class who would result in 130 points.
D1 AAA has been entered on the bracket. Rick the D1/12 2A bracket is very confusing. In a nutshell we are waiting to hear the 4 teams. We do know West Catholic & Bok will be 2 of them. As soon as we hear we will enter them in. The AAAA D1 bracket will be up shortly
District One brackets are up. http://district-one.net/brackets/footballAAA.htm
what’s the story on district 1 2A are they going to play in the tournament?
You can see D1 brackets at wnpv1440.com. Not official, but always right.
OK boys. Don’t know why they are so slow. It isn’t rocket science. The power points are what they are.
Yup as soon as we get the information we will get them on the brackets.
Hi Buddy. District one hasn’t release their brackets yet. As soon as they do we will have them up.
What’s up with the district one seedings? Got all the others.
Keep up the good work guys and gals.
