Bracketology FAQs
How is Bracketology Calculated?
Qualifying for the Section 1 playoffs takes into account ALL games played on a team’s schedule. Teams are ranked from highest Index to lowest in each classification. The formula:
- Wins in Section 1 are worth 4 points
- Ties in Section 1 are worth 2 points
- Bonus Points are determined from the winning percentage of a team’s schedule of Section 1 opponents only.
- Overall winning percentage (.500 – .749) = 1 bonus point
- Overall winning percentage (.750+) = 2 bonus points
- Add up all points accumulated and divided by the number of Section 1 games played to calculate Index
Qualifying for the Postseason

- Bonus Points from Section 1 only opponents is based on their overall winning percentage:

Seeding Tiebreakers
1. Head-to-Head (if teams played same number of times)
2. Common opponent (if teams played same number of times)
3. Overall average of bonus points earned by the number of games played in Section 1 *
4. Winning percentage
5. Total number of wins (in Section)
6. Total number of wins against qualifying teams in your respective classification
7. Total number of wins against top 4 seeds in classification (or of those teams above you)
