    Playoffs

    Strength of Schedule is the 3rd tiebreaker, if the teams did not play head to head (1st tiebreaker), or if they have the same record against common opponents (2nd tiebreaker). The rules describe it as Win/loss pct of regular season opponents.

    Playoffs

    I did the numbers quickly after today's games. There are far fewer moving parts this year than in previous years, although things could still change with upsets. I went through the remaining schedule and assumed the higher team on LaxPower would win - I always think this is a better way to...

    State Tournament

    Archmere at 13-2 being the 8 seed and a probable 2nd round matchup with Sallies is a tough draw.

    2014 Championship Game

    In the News Journal article about the game, I noticed that Cape had 17 seniors on their roster, while Sallies had only 8 seniors on their team. For such a big school and lacrosse program, I would have expected more seniors. Is this just an odd year? This post was edited on 6/2 9:50 AM by DELax100

    State Tournament Seedings

    FB LAX, you were right all along about how Woodbridge would be treated. I still don't quite know how Seeds #9-12 shook out - The only way I see Sussex at #9 is if their Woodbridge forfeit did not count. And in 3 way tie between Middletown, Caravel and Milford, I do not know how Caravel came...

    State Tournament Seedings

    FBLAX, if you are correct on the Woodbridge treatment, then 6-12 looks like this (assuming Tower and Sussex Tech win their last games): 6. Delmar 7. Archmere 8. Tower Hill 9-12 - Four way tie between Middletown, Milford, Sussex Tech and Caravel - all have an index of 34/15. Using strength of...

    State Tournament Seedings

    Great catch FBLAX - St Marks played an 8-10 Maryland team, but that team lost its last 3 games, and only the first 15 games count. So they were "8-7" for DE purposes, and that gives St Marks an extra point. Since the beat CR and Appo, that jumps them to #3. The revised Top 5 is: 1. Sallies...

    State Tournament Seedings

    It is too hard to do a 1-16 seeding without knowing exactly how Woodbridge will be treated. The numbers below assume a Tower Hill wins over Friends today. If Friends wins, there are a # of changes from St Marks on down. I also used Laxpower for everyone's records - I hope there are no...

    Delmar!

    I don't buy the "lose to avoid Sallies" story at all. First, beating Delmar would have almost locked them in at #3 seed - away from Sallies. Second, there were still 3 days of games for other teams, after their May 8 game v Delmar, that could have put them at #4 or #5 - on the Sallies side of...

    State Tournament Seedings

    It is a group of coaches, athletic directors, and DIAA officials. The tournament rules and committee members are posted on the DIAA website. From my reading, their main job is to collect all the relevant data (team records, opponent records, etc.) and apply the pre-determined calculations for...

    State Tournament Seedings

    How the committee handles Woodbridge will have a sizeable impact on the seedings - Several people above said the forfeited games will count, but that does not sound right to me. Take Milford - they were 9-4 in played games, but if you add 2 Woodbridge forfeits, they are 11-4. At 11-4, they...

    State Tournament Seedings

    You could be 100% correct that the DIAA / Lacrosse Committee made an exception to the rules on Woodbridge. I was just going by the published DIAA tournament rules.

    State Tournament Seedings

    That is correct. I will look at the seedings tonight, but a couple of things I noticed already to take into account. They have a new rule this year that your denominator in the ranking calculation is the # of games on your schedule as of April 1. So if you had a game scheduled that was not...

    Tower Hill Parents/Fans

    First, congratulations to the Sallies players and coaching staff on a great season. That have taken an already top program to another level in 2013. OutsideView - point taken on the private school comparison - I was referring to a post earlier (not yours) that made it sound like Tower Hill was...

    Tower Hill Parents/Fans

    laxdeusa I have to join you - let me get this straight - people from an expensive private school, where 98% of the kids go to college, feel grave injustice from the immature playground taunts by parents from a very expensive private school, where 99% of the kids go to college - do I have that...

    Rankings May 11 AM - Projected Final

    With Indian River losing (costing Delmar 2 bonus points) and Middletown losing, here is how I see the final seeds - this assumes a Friends win over Sanford today (no score yet) 1. Sallies 2. Cape 3. Polytech 4. Tower hill 5 St Marks 6. Caesar Rodeny 7. Dover 8. Friends 9 DMA 10. Archmere 11...

    Rankings May 11 AM - Projected Final

    Here are the current seedings, based on some assumptions about the games Saturday. Again - these were calculated using laxpower, which is not an official record. On Saturday's games - I assume a Friends victory over Sanford. If Friends loses, it will change 8 or 9 seedings, so I will re-do...
