Still alot of questions heading into the last week of the season. Please note that the projections below assume no crazy upsets.
Top Four Seeds - Sallies and Archmere look to be safely in the top four somewhere. The winner of Tower Hill - Cape also looks to get a bye in the first round. Friends and CR still could end up with the last top four spot.
If Tower Hill loses twice this week (Sallies and Cape) their record will be below .701, taking a bonus point away from all of the teams listed above, and 2 points from Friends. This is the only scenario (barring a major upset) where one of these teams is not seeded in the top six.
Charter - makes the tourney as the Blue Hen winner, but will be seeded low. A loss to St. Marks on Tuesday locks them in at #12, and takes away a bonus point from all of their opponents (CR, Tower, Friends).
DMA - In the tourney (assuming one more win), seeded anywhere from #6-#11, depending on other results.
Dover - A win over Delmar guarantees them a spot - two wins gets them in the #6-#8 seed territory.
The winner of the Sussex Tech - Polytech game on May 11 probably gets a spot.
If St Marks wins their final two games (Charter and Newark) they probably get a spot.
That leaves one spot for Mt Pleasant, Appo, McKean or the Poly-Sussex loser. Brandywine would probably need a win over Mt Pleasant and an upset of Archmere to get into this group.
The reason the picture remains fuzzy is the uncertainty over the final records of Poly, Mt Pleasant, Tower, Charter (will the finish over .701?) and Concord, Wilm Christian, Sussex Tech (will they finish over .501?) - how these teams end the season will effect seedings and who gets the last few spots.
The picture will be clear enough after Tuesday's games to start realistically projecting the final seeds.
