B. When a region does not have a tie breaker method in place, the following
procedure will be used for seeding purposes only or to determine fourth
position for playoffs, when no additional playing dates are available:
1. Percentage of head-to-head wins against tied teams
2. Least number of runs allowed between tied teams
3. Least number of runs allowed overall region play
4. Mini-game of five (5) innings
5. At any point where a three-way tie is broken but two teams remain
tied, revert back to item #1.
C. All rounds of the state playoff involve a best two-of-three series.
1. The higher seeded team, or the team designated as the host team
on the predetermined brackets (if the teams are equal seeds), will
host all three games.
2. A doubleheader is required on the first day of each round of the
playoff series.
3. At the championship round, the Executive Director may grant a
format exception if the two teams are from the same vicinity and travel
is not a factor.
4. The host team will be the home team in the first game, and the visiting
team will be the home team in the second game. There will be a coin
flip to determine the home team if the series goes to a third game.
5. At the end of each day's competition, the host school will phone or
fax the results to the GHSA office.
6. The responsibilities of the host team are to:
(a) furnish game balls beyond those furnished by the GHSA
(b) notify the GHSA office as to the arrangements for the series
7. In the event that two schools involved can not agree on the arrangements
for the series (dates, times, etc.), the GHSA Executive Director
will make a ruling to cover the situation.
