District football math mayhem

(insert school of choice here)

The last week of the regular season will be interesting for teams in District 11 of Class 5. Margins of victory could decide who goes home for the season and who plays on. The Class 5 playoffs begin next Wednesday, November 4th with the regional round followed by the sectional round played on Monday, November 9th. The district runner-up will play the winner of the William Chrisman/Winnetonka game (Oct. 30th) in regionals while the district champion will take on Fort Osage in sectionals after receiving a first round bye.

A two-way tie for first or second place will be determined by head to head matchups, a three-way tie will be decided by margins of victory.

Current district standings with record and margin of victory up to +/- 13 points per game:
Park Hill (2-0, +26)
St. Joe Central (1-1, +2)
Oak Park (1-1, -12)
Park Hill South (0-2, -16)

If Park Hill wins by 13 points or more over St. Joe Central and Park Hill South wins by 5 points or more over Oak Park:

Park Hill - district title, 1st round bye in playoffs
Park Hill South - runner-up, playoff spot

If PH wins by 13 points or more over Central and South wins by less than 5 points:

Park Hill - district title, 1st round by in playoffs
Oak Park - runner-up, playoff spot

If PH wins by 13 points or more over Central and South losses:

Park Hill - district title, 1st round bye in playoffs
Oak Park - runner-up, playoff spot

If PH losses and PHS losses:

3-way tie between PH, OP, and STJ for district title and runner-up will be broken by margin of victory up to +/- 13 points per game.

If Park Hill losses and PHS wins, no matter what the margin:

St. Joe Central - district title, 1st round bye in playoffs
Park Hill - runner-up, playoff spot

If Park Hill wins by less than 13 points, Park Hill South will have to win by 5 points plus however many points Park Hill losses by that are less than 13.

For example, if Park Hill wins 17-10, Park Hill South would have to win by 11 points (5+6).
