How Seeding is Determined in the Event of Ties

When teams finish with the same record, we follow a clear process to determine seeding:

Head-to-Head Matchups

If the tied teams have played each other during the season, the winner of that head-to-head game will receive the higher seed.

Strength of Schedule

If the teams did not play each other, or if there’s a multi-team tie, we review each team’s full schedule to see who faced the toughest opponents.

We look at the records of the teams each one played to calculate strength of schedule. The team with the stronger schedule receives the higher seed.

Important:

We do not use total points scored or points allowed when determining seeding.

Standings alone are not used to break ties.

Our goal is to reward teams based on head-to-head results first, and then on the difficulty of their season, not on point differentials.

Introducing the 1st Down Award

We’re excited to launch a new recognition program for our players: the 1st Down Award. After each game, coaches will present this honor not as an MVP, but as a Most Valuable Teammate award.

This award celebrates the player who best represents what it means to be a great teammate. Coaches will be looking for players who:

Puts the team first, Cheers on and encourages their teammates, shows sportsmanship in every situation, steps up to help others, Leads with a positive and supportive attitude

It’s not about who scores the most points, it’s about recognizing the heart, character, and spirit of those who lift the whole team up.

COACHES STOP BY THE TENT TO GET THE AWARDS 

In the 7v7 Division, the 4th Down Rule is a crucial aspect of the game that adds an element of strategy and excitement.

Teams are given four downs to reach midfield for a first down, and if successful, they earn four more downs to push for a touchdown. However, the decision to go for it on 4th down can be a make-or-break moment for the team.

When the ball is within the 5-yard line and the team fails to score on 4th down, possession switches to the opposing team, and they start from the 5-yard line with a first down.

If the ball is at any other spot on the field and the team cannot convert a first down or score a touchdown on 4th down, possession reverts to the other team at the previous spot of the ball.

This rule emphasizes the importance of strategic play calling, risk assessment, and execution under pressure. It challenges teams to make calculated decisions based on field position and the game situation, adding layers of complexity to the game while keeping the stakes high until the final moments.

QB- Pivot right with the ball out in two hands, watch the ball into Z’s belly

X- Drive hard at the defender's outside shoulder and then down the sideline. Your goal is to get the defender to turn their back to the play

Y- Run hard at the defender's outside shoulder and then down the sideline. Your goal is to get the defender to turn their back to the play

Z- Run just to the right of the QB, ready for handoff, clamp down, and run hard toward the open space

Center- Run as fast as you can. Your goal is to get the middle defender to step away from the play
