North Dakota Preps

Look for Playoff Scenarios to be posted Monday, Oct. 13th

There's the potential for a 3-way tie for 2nd place in the West if Beulah beats Bishop Ryan next week and Watford City beats Beulah the final week. Since each team would be 1-1, the tie-breaker would be based on point differential. When comparing point differential, is it the differential in just the games involving the 3 teams or is it ALL regional games? Also, when figuring point differential, is there a maximum points per game allowed rule (to prevent running up of scores)? Assuming all teams involved can hold serve this week, it'll make for an interesting final 2 weeks!!

just between the tied teams
17 is max

After this week actually scenarios will go up or at least teams that are eliminated or have clinched will be posted.

Anybody know when or if St. Mary's players will be back for the playoffs. I think they are the only ones with a legitimate shot at beating Shanley.

Correct me if I'm wrong. But from the looks of it with all the tiebreakers, I don't think there would be a possible way that the loser of Wahp/Grafton would miss the playoffs even if they also lost in Week 9. Wahp and Grafton beat both VC and Central Cass, therefore winning the head-to-head if there is a 3-way tie involving Wahp, Grafton, and VC or Central Cass.
