If nothing else, remember the Golden Rule of Tiebreakers:

H2H > Points

According to 4.14.A in the AAA Handbook:

Three or more tied teams shall first be considered in sets of two-way ties.

IOW, how the teams fared against each other (i.e. H2H) shall be considered before TBP are put into use.

Points are only used to set up head to head comparisons.

The verbiage of head-to-head in the rules seems to only indicate pairings, not head-to-head record against all others in the tiebreaker group.  I think that's the missing language in the rules.

Now that we have the correct bracket, here are my picks:

Morrilton over Watson Chapel

LRCA over Wynne

Alma over White Hall

LR McClellan over Batesville

Nettleton over Sylvan Hills, but I'm not real confident of this pick

Greenbrier over Camden Fairview

PA over Valley View

Harrison over Lakeside

I just noticed that I'm picking the South to get shut out and the East to win only one game.  That doesn't seem likely, but that's the way I see it.  As many upsets as we've had this year I'd say we'll see some more.

[Burks]

On the top half of the bracket, McClellan is the sleeper team. I like their chances of getting to the Semifinals and LRCA I think doesn't want to see the Lions again. Warriors escape the first time.

you make that pick to tick someone off?

[Deuceswild]

I second the motion of all those picks except Chapel may take that one, no confidence in that pick at all.

No, but maybe I should have!

That's just the way I see it.

I haven't seen Watson Chapel play, nor do I know anything about their team, but I will say this....Morrilton is a 1-point loss away from being the #1 seed out of the West....should be a very good game, and I would venture to say, it could be the "Game of the Week".

[AIREDALE25]

Here's my guess all 4 one seeds will make it to the semis
Alma will travel to Watson Chapel
PA will travel to Nettleton
My gut says PA will be in LR
BUT
Heart says Alma vs Nettleton in War memorial

Waaaaaay off. Nettleton is not a top team in the state. It will be PA and somebody.

I don't think Alma gets that far....they had better make some changes if they expect to get to WMS.

I don't think Alma gets that far....they had better make some changes if they expect to get to WMS.

They have a better chance of beating Greenwood than getting to WMS this year Have to play 4 quarter games to get to WMS
