The winner will be designated as the second seed. If there is a two way tie for second and one team has won both mutual matches, then that team will be the second seed. The other team will be the third seed. A flip may determine seeding if mutually agreed by both teams. If there is a multiple tie among three or more schools, there will be a district play off tournament to determine the first, second, third, and fourth seed representative. However, if one team is undefeated in those mutual games among them, then that team will be the district s first seed. The same principle will apply to the remaining teams. This will be known as the WON ALL MUTUAL GAME principle. In the case of no team having won all their mutual games then the tournament play off format shall be applied. Teams involved will be recognized as District Champions. A flip may determine seeding if mutually agreed by all schools. 87
