Their general bracket indicates they intend to seed the teams, at least the top four. Until that is done, the pairings would seem to be a bit premature, unless they are just going to pencil in the first round being a north vs south round in both halves of the state, and let the chips fall where they may after that.
Anyone know if that's the case?

Hearing that NP vs FSHP is being played in Casselton. Probably see all of the east matchups in round 1 played on turf.

Per the NDHSAA playoff bracket, NP and FSHP are playing in Hope (Hope-Page HS) while Tri-State and NR-Sheyenne are playing in Central Cass.

Two teams have the same record. These teams played each other four times, with one team winning three times, including the district and region championship games. The team that lost three times was still ranked 20 points higher after their third head to head loss.
There needs to be something in the formula that takes head to head games into account.

In ND, it doesn’t matter as its not used in basketball...in MN there is an exception to that scenario. Why waste time with it in ND if it’s not being used for anything?

Two games are being played at neutral sites.
