District Champion and runner-ups will be determined by a point system. Three points for a win, one point for a tie, and zero points for a loss. B. If TWO teams tie for either first, second, or third the following order of procedures will be used to determine the placement: a. Head to head: If one team has come away from the head to head match up with more points (a win and a tie or two wins), that team will be declared the winner of that tie. b. If teams are still tied, then **goal differential (see below) between the teams involved will be used to determine placement (3 goal maximum per game). c. If both teams are tied in goal differential then a coin flip will determine placement for advancement into the state playoffs. Coaches can mutually agree on seeding in playoffs at this stage in place of the coin toss. However, both coaches need to be in agreement with this decision. If there is any discrepancy, the coin toss will take place. Winner of the coin toss will choose the seed. C. If THREE or MORE teams tie for either first, second, or third, the following order of procedures will be used to determine the placement: a. Head to Head comparison between the teams involved will be used first. Using the point system described in A above. b. If any team is still tied, then **goal differential between the teams involved will be used to determine placement (3 goal maximum per game). If still tied, move to step c. c. If teams are still tied, Coaches may agree to place teams in playoff ranking, if no mutual agreement on the ranking of the teams can be reached then coaches will draw lots/coin flip to determine playoff ranking. D. If TWO teams tie for fourth place the following order of procedures will be used to determine the advancement: a. Head to Head comparison between the teams involved will be used first. Using the point system described in A above. b. If Head to Head is split, both teams will have to play each other to determine who advances to the playoffs. c. If a match can t be played before certification, a coin flip will determine who advances to playoffs. E. If THREE or More teams are tied for fourth place the following order of procedures will be used to determine the advancement: a. Head to Head comparison between the teams involved will be used first. Using the point system described in A above. b. The two teams with the highest point total will have a playoff game to determine who wins the fourth seed. c. If teams are still tied in points for one of the two spots in the playoff match, look at the head to head comparison of just the teams involved at this point. d. If any team is still tied, then **goal differential between the teams involved will be used to determine placement (3 goal maximum per game) e. If any team is still tied, a coin flip will determine who plays in the match to determine 4th seed. Example of l-E Team A, B and C are all tied for 4th place. After looking at head to head between all three teams, Team A has the most points at 9. B and C end up still tied after considering the three way head to head comparison. Now, you will look at how B and C did head to head alone. If they split, go to goal differential. If that is still tied, a coin flip will determine which team plays Team A for the playoff spot. **Goal Differential Ex lained: The difference in goals scored versus allowed in a given game. We allow a maximum of only 3 goals to be added or subtracted from goal differential per match. Example: If team A wins 6-2 over team B, team A would be assigned +3 and team B would be assigned -3 for that match. II. ALL-DISTRICT SELECTION A. All District selection meetings will be held at the coaches discretion. III. OFFICIALS (UIL guidelines will be followed) A. A minimum of a two man system is desired for each district game. B.

A team s warm-up time on the game field will be determined by the duration between the end time of the JV game and the scheduled start time of the varsity game.(For example, if the JV game ends at 6:25 and the varsity start time is 7:00pm, teams may warm-up for 35 minutes on the game field. However if the JV game ends at 6:45 and the varsity start time is 7:00pm, teams may only warm-up on the game field for 20 minutes, therefore the game would start at 7:05).

These teams will be ranked as Champion (1st), Runnerup (2nd), Third, and Fourth places. If teams are tied for a playoff position refer to policy C . C. Ties Policy If two or more teams are tied for a playoff representative position after ranking by winning percentage (point totals in soccer), the following methods will be used. Method 1 - Two teams are tied One team wins both contests- If one team won both contests against the other team the winning team will receive the higher rank Teams split the two contests- If both teams each won one contest against the other the following methods of breaking the tie will be followed: Option A - Coaches may place teams in Playoff ranking, if mutually agreed upon by both Head Coaches. (Ex. Team A and Team B finished tied for the 2nd and 3rd playoff positions. Team A and B Head Coaches agree that Team A will be 2nd ranked and Team B will be in 3rd ranked) Teams split the two contests- continued If there is no mutual agreement on the ranking of the teams by Option A the coaches may choose Option to determine ranking. Option B- Coaches may flip a coin to determine playoff ranking, if mutually agreed upon by both Head Coaches. The winner of the flip will receive the right to choose which of the playoff rankings they will receive. (Ex. Team A and Team B finished tied for the 2nd and 3rd playoff positions. Team A wins the flip. Team A chooses to receive the 3rd ranking. Team B would receive the 2nd ranking.) 1 DEC Approved 08/13/18 If there is no mutual agreement on using Option B to determine ranking, then a playoff game will be scheduled. Playoff Contest - The details of the playoff game (date, time, site, officials, etc.) will follow the UIL guideline for single playoff contests. The winner of the contest will be awarded the higher seed. Method 2 - Three or more team are tied Step One - Contests among the teams that are tied will be looked at as if it were a "Mini-District." The team within that group who has the highest winning percentage will be given the highest rank. - If a two way tie e ists for the top ranking after ranking the teams by percentage, then Method 1 will be used to determine the top ranked team. Step Two- Once a team is awarded the highest rank and removed from the "Mini-District" pool, the tie breaking process will start anew using Methods #1 or #2 above. Step Three-If after ranking the teams in a "Mini-District" format a tie exists between three or more teams the following methods of breaking the tie will be followed: Option C - Coaches may place teams in Playoff ranking, if mutually agreed upon by all Head Coaches.(Ex. Team A, Team B, and team C finished tied for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd playoff rankings. All Coaches agree that Team A gets the 1st ranking, Team B gets the 3 rd ranking, and Team C gets the 2nd ranking) If there is no mutual agreement on the ranking of the teams by Option C the coaches may choose Option D to determine ranking. Option D- Coaches may have a random selection process such as flipping coins or drawing lots to determine playoff ranking, if mutually agreed upon by all Head Coaches. The winner of the random process will receive the right to choose which of the playoff rankings they will receive. (Ex. Team A ,Team B, and Team C finished tied for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th playoff rankings after looking at the Mini- District Rankings . Team A wins the random selection process. Team A chooses to receive the 3rd ranking. Team B and team C would also be ranked by the chosen random selection process. If there is no mutual agreement on using Option D to determine ranking, then a series of single elimination playoff games will be scheduled. Playoff Contest-The details of the playoff games (date, time, site, officials, etc.) will follow the U.I.L. guidelines for single playoff contests. Three team Playoff-In a three team playoff scenario one team will receive a bye using a random selection process. A maximum of two contests will be played to determine playoff rankings. (Ex. Teams A, B, & C are tied. Team A receives the bye. Team B & C will play a contest to determine a winner. The loser of the contest between B & C has the right to the third choice of playoff rankings. However, if there are only two playoff spots available, then the loser of B and C will be eliminated from playoff seeding. The winner of the game between B & C and team A will then have the Choice of Option A or Option B. If there is no mutual agreement then the winner of the playoff contest between the winner of B & C and team A will have the first choice of playoff ranking. The loser will have the second choice of playoff ranking. 2 DEC Approved 08/13/18 Four team Playoff - In a four team playoff scenario, teams will be matched using a random selection method. There will be a maximum two rounds (four contests) to determine playoff rankings. The first round contests should be at similar times. The winners of the first contests and the losers of the first contests will be matched in second round contests. Both the winners and losers may chose Option A or Option B to determine choices of playoff rankings. If no mutual agreement can be reached the winners of the contests in the second round will have the higher choices of playoff rankings.(ex. Teams A, B, C, & D are tied. Team A plays team B. Team C plays team D. Teams A & C win the first round contests. Team A & C will be matched against each other and Teams B & D will be matched against each other in the second round. The winner of the contest between A & C will have the first choice of playoff ranking. The loser of the contest between A & C will have the second choice of playoff ranking. The winner of the contest between B & D will have the third choice of playoff ranking. The loser of the contest between B & D has the right to the fourth choice of playoff rankings. Second round contests that will not determine a playoff ranking will not be played. Five or more team Playoff -If five or more teams are tied for a playoff position a random selection process will be used to reduce the number of teams remaining to four.

Rest days are Sat, Sun, Mon, and Tues. He is eligible to pitch on Wednesday, not Tuesday night.). • A pitcher will be allowed to complete current at-bat even if they hit pitch count max during the at-bat, but must exit game as a pitcher after that hitter regardless of recording an out or number of outs in inning. • There are no restrictions on allowing any game day pitcher (starter or reliever) from resuming play in the field after being removed as a pitcher, regardless of pitch count. • There will be NO change to regulations in post-season play, (i.e.: no increase in pitch count max or leeway in rest days) c. Tournament or Series: • In multi game series or tournaments, pitch count can be divided into separate appearances as long as combined total does not exceed appropriate pitch count max. Days of rest will be determined by final pitch count of the series or tournament. • (ex: In post season series, starter goes (X) innings for a total pitch count of (X) (amount not exceeding max count) in first game of 3 game series. That same athlete can be used as short reliever in either of next 2 games of the same series, up to combined total pitch count max (85/110).

COACHES ALL-DISTRICT TEAM The all-district selection meeting will be held on the first Tuesday after District Certification Date at TEA. The 5th place team will name the location and will also chair the meeting. METHOD OF DETERMINING CHAMPION & DISTRICT PLAYOFF REPRESENTATIVES A. Method of Determining District Championship Each team shall play every other team in the district twice. At the end of the season, the team with the highest percentage of district wins will be champion; the next highest percentage of district wins will be runner up; next highest will be third place, etc. If two or more teams are tied for first place, co-champions, or tri-champions will be declared. B. Method of Determining Playoff Representatives The top four teams with the highest winning percentage as described above will advance to the playoffs. These teams will be ranked as Champion (1st), Runner-up (2nd), Third, and Fourth places. If teams are tied for a playoff position refer to policy C . C. Ties Policy If two or more teams are tied for a playoff representative position after ranking by winning percentage, the following methods will be used. Method 1 Two teams are tied One team wins both contests- If one team won both contests against the other team the winning team will receive the higher rank Team split the two contests- If the both teams each won one contest against the other the following methods of breaking the tie will be followed: Option A - Coaches may place teams in Playoff ranking, if mutually agreed upon by both Head Coaches. (Ex. Team A and Team B finished tied for the 2nd and 3rd playoff positions. Team A and B Head Coaches agree that Team A will be 2nd ranked and Team B will be in 3rd ranked) Teams split the t\\>o contests- contin ed If there is no mutual agreement on the ranking of the teams by Option A the coaches may choose Option B to determine ranking. Option B- Coaches may flip a coin to determine playoff ranking, if mutually agreed upon by both Head Coaches. The winner of the flip will receive the right to choose which of the playoff rankings they will receive. (Ex. Team A and Team B finished tied for the 2nd and 3rd playoff positions. Team A wins the flip. Team A chooses to receive the 3rd ranking. Team B would receive the 2nd ranking.) If there is no mutual agreement on using Option B to determine ranking, then a playoff game will be scheduled. Playoff Contest-The details of the playoff game (date, time, site, officials, etc.) will follow the U.I.L. guidelines for single playoff contests. The winner of the contest will receive the right to choose which of the playoff rankings they will receive. (Ex. Team A and Team B finished tied for the 2nd and 3rd playoff positions. Team A wins the playoff contest. Team A chooses to receive the 3rd ranking. Team B would receive the 2nd ranking.) Method 2 Three or more teams are tied Step One - Contests among the teams that are tied will be looked at as if the teams involved were a "Mini-District." The team within that group who has the highest winning percentage will be given the highest rank. - If a two way tie exists for the top ranking after ranking the teams by percentage, then Method 1 will be used to determine the top ranked team. Step Two - Once a team is awarded the highest rank and removed from the "Mini- District" pool, the tie breaking process will start anew using Methods #1 or #2 above for the remaining teams. Three or mo e teams are tied- continued Step Three -If after ranking the teams in a "Mini-District" format a tie exists between three or more teams the following methods of breaking the tie will be followed: Option C - Coaches may place teams in playoff ranking, if mutually agreed upon by all Head Coaches. (Ex. Team A, Team B, and team C finished tied for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd playoff rankings. All Coaches agree that Team A gets the 1st ranking, Team B gets the 3 rd ranking, and Team C gets the 2nd ranking) If there is no mutual agreement on the ranking of the teams by Option C the coaches may choose Option D to determine ranking. Option D- Coaches may have a random selection process such as flipping coins or drawing lots to determine playoff ranking, if mutually agreed upon by all Head Coaches. The winner of the random process will receive the right to choose which of the playoff rankings they will receive. (Ex. Team A, Team B, and Team C finished tied for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th playoff rankings after looking at the Mini- District Rankings . Team A wins the random selection process. Team A chooses to receive the 3rd ranking. Team B and team C would also be ranked by the chosen random selection process. If there is no mutual agreement on using Option D to determine ranking, then a series of playoff games will be scheduled. Playoff Contest-The details of the playoff games (date, time, site, officials, etc.) will follow the U.I.L. guidelines for single playoff contests. Three Team Playoff (If tie still exists after Mini-District ranking -In a three team playoff scenario one team will receive a bye using a random selection process. A maximum of two contests will be played to determine playoff rankings. (Ex. Teams A, B, & C are tied. Team A receives the bye. Team B & C will play a contest to determine a winner. The loser of the contest between B & C has the right to the third choice of playoff rankings. Three or mo e teams a e tied- continued Three team Playoff continued The winner of the game between B & C and team A will then have the Choice of Option A or Option B. If there is no mutual agreement then the winner of the playoff contest between the winner of B & C and team A will have the first choice of playoff ranking. The loser will have the second choice of playoff ranking. Four Team Playoff (If tie still exists after Mini-District ranking) -In a four team playoff scenario teams will be matched using a random selection method. There will be a maximum two rounds (four contests) to determine playoff rankings. The first round contests should be at similar times The winners of the first contests and the losers of the first contests will be matched in second round contests. Both the winners and losers may chose Option A or Option B to determine choices of playoff rankings. If no mutual agreement can be reached the winners of the contests in the second round will have the higher choices of playoff rankings.(ex. Teams A, B, C, & D are tied. Team A plays team B. Team C plays team D. Teams A & C win the first round contests. Team A & C will be matched against each other and Teams B & D will be matched against each other in the second round. The winner of the contest between A & C will have the first choice of playoff ranking. The loser of the contest between A & C will have the second choice of playoff ranking. The winner of the contest between B & D will have the third choice of playoff ranking. The loser of the contest between B & D has the right to the fourth choice of playoff rankings. Second round contests that will not determine a playoff ranking will not be played. Five or More Team Playoff (if tie still exists after Mini-District ranking) -If five or more teams are tied for a playoff position a random selection process will be used to reduce the number of teams remaining to four. Once the four teams have been established the tie breaking process will return to Step Three in “Method Two” DEC Approved-PENDING DRAFT - 19-6A DISTRICT BASEBALL SCHEDULE 2019 Varsity (6:oop.m. ist pitch) SODh/JV (4:30/7:00 p.m. 1st Pitch) Tuesday-Game 1 12-Mar Spring Brea Monday 11-Mar KEY DATES Cinco Ranch @ Tompkins Tompkins @ Cinco Ranch Katy @ Mayde Creek Mayde Creek @ Katy Friday, Jan 25 1st day for practices Morton Ranch @ Seven Lakes Seven Lakes @ Morton Ranch Taylor BYE Taylor BYE Monday, Feb 4 Thursday - Game 2 14-Mar Spring Break Thursday 14-Mar 1st day for scrimmages Mayde Creek @ Taylor Taylor @ Mayde Creek Monday, Feb 18 Tompkins @ Morton Ranch Morton Ranch @ Tompkins 1st day for games Se en Lakes @ Katy Katy @ Seven Lakes Cinco Ranch BYE Cinco Ranch BYE March 11-15 Tuesday-Game 3 19-Mar Monday 18-Mar Spring Break Cinco Ranch @ Morton Ranch Morton Ranch @ Cinco Ranch Tuesday, April 30 Taylor @ Seven Lakes Seven Lakes @ Taylor District Certification Katy @ Tompkins Tompkins @ Katy April 9-12 Mayde Creek BYE Mayde Creek BYE May 6-10 22-Mar 22-Mar Friday - Game 4 Friday EOC Tests Seven Lakes @ Mayde Creek Mayde Creek @ Seven Lakes Cinco Ranch @ Katy Katy @ Cinco Ranch Saturday, May 4 Tompkins @ Taylor Taylor @ Tompkins Bi-District Deadline Morton Ranch BYE Morton Ranch BYE Saturday, May 11 26-Mar Monday 25-Mar Tuesday - Game 5 Area Deadline Katy @ Morton Ranch Morton Ranch @ Katy Mayde Creek @ Tompkins Tompkins @ Mayde Creek Saturday, May 18 Taylor @ Cinco Cinco Ranch @ Taylor Regional Qtr Final Deadline Seven Lakes BYE Seven Lakes BYE Saturday, May 25 Friday - Game 6 29-Mar Friday 29-Mar Regional Semi-Final Deadline Seven Lakes @ Tompkins Tompkins @ Seven Lakes Saturday, June 1 Taylor @ Morton Ranch Morton Ranch @ Taylor Regional Playoff Deadline Mayde Creek @ Cinco Ranch Cinco Ranch @ Mayde Creek Katy BYE Katy BYE June 5 - June 9 Tuesday-Game 7 2-Apr Monday 1-Apr State Baseball Tourney Katy @ Taylor Taylor @ Katy Cinco Ranch @ Seven Lakes Seven Lakes @ Cinco Ranch Morton Ranch @ Mayde Creek Mayde Creek @ Morton Ranch Tompkins BYE Tompkins BYE Varsity JV/Soph Friday - Game 8 5-Apr Friday 5-Apr Tompkins @ Cinco Ranch Cinco Ranch @ Tompkins Mayde Creek @ Katy Katy @ Mayde Creek Seven Lakes @ Morton Ranch Morton Ranch @ Seven Lakes Taylor BYE Taylor BYE Tuesday - Game 9 9-Apr EOC TESTING Monday -Split Sites - 4:30 start 8-Apr Taylor @ Mayde Creek Mayde Creek @ Taylor Morton Ranch @ Tompkins Tompkins @ Morton Ranch Katy @ Seven Lakes Seven Lakes @ Katy Cinco Ranch BYE Cinco Ranch BYE Friday - Game 10 12-Apr Friday 12-Apr Cinco Ranch @ Morton Ranch Morton Ranch @ Cinco Ranch Seven Lakes @ Taylor Taylor @ Seven Lakes Tompk ns @ Katy Katy @ Tompkins Mayde Creek BYE Mayde Creek BYE Tuesday-Game 11 16-Apr Monday 15-Apr Mayde Creek @ Seven Lakes Seven Lakes @ Mayde Creek Katy @ Cinco Ranch Cinco Ranch @ Katy Taylor @ Tompkins Tompkins @ Taylor Morton Ranch BYE Morton Ranch BYE Thursday - Game 12 18-Apr Good Friday Thursday 18-Apr Morton Ranch @ Katy Katy @ Morton Ranch Tompkins @ Mayde Creek Mayde Creek @ Tompkins Cinco Ranch @ Taylor Taylor @ Cinco Seven Lakes BYE Seven Lakes BYE Tuesday-Game 13 23-Apr Monday 22-Apr Tompkins @ Seven Lakes Seven Lakes @ Tompkins Morton Ranch @ Taylor Taylor @ Morton Ranch Cinco Ranch @ Mayde Creek Mayde Creek @ Cinco Ranch Katy BYE Katy BYE Friday - Game 14 26-Apr Friday 26-Apr Taylor @ Katy Katy @ Taylor Seven Lakes @ Cinco Ranch Cinco Ranch @ Seven Lakes Mayde Creek @ Morton Ranch Morton Ranch @ Mayde Creek Tompkins BYE Tompkins BYE WRESTLING DISTRICT 9 - 6A BY-LAWS 2018-19 PART A: SEEDING CRITERIA Separation will be based upon 1. Head to head competition: Wrestler with direct head to head gets top seed. A. Head-to-head split (i.e. one win and one loss), higher seed goes to the wrestler with last head-to-head victory. B. Head-to-head with odd number of matches, higher seed goes to the wrestler with more head-to-head victories. C. A default (loss) will only count for seeding purposes if the match started and then ended and will not count as a loss if the match was never started and the wrester defaulted out of the tournament. If more than two wrestlers are involved in head-to-head and a triangle of death results (I beat you, you beat him/her, and he/she beat me) seeding will resort to points only for all wrestlers left in the bracket. 2. Points System: The point system is based on three areas and defined specifically on the pages 2-4: a. Record b. Prestige c. Caliber of Competition. Each Head Coach is responsible for bringing accurate and verifiable breakdown of each category for every wrestler entered in the varsity tournament. 3. All Wrestlers in the bracket will be seeded. WRESTLING DISTRICT 9-6A POLICIES UIL 6A District 9 District Point System Criterion 1 Record Percentage record'of this season's varsity dual meet and tournament bouts Only official school sponsored competitions count toward record.

If not, subtract 8 points for each bout under 8ffom the total. Example: 6-2 Record 6 divided by 8 = 75.00 - 32 (4 bouts shorts of 12 x 8 points) = 43.00 Results must be updated and verifiable. 2 WRESTLING DISTRICT 9-6A POLICIES Criterion 2 Prestige Award bonus points for this wrestler's accomplishments in last year s UIL Regional or UIL State Tournament.
