* * * * * * * * * * * * * * 2012 WPIAL GIRLS' VOLLEYBALL The Lady Tigers will compete again in Class AAA of the WPIAL along with 34 other teams. Three (3) teams from each section will qualify for participation in WPIAL Championship play at the completion of the regular season. All playoff entries will be determined by section record only and will be determined by the best section won/loss record. Teams that tie for first place will not have the tie broken as ALL of the tied teams will be declared section champions. Each team will receive a section winner’s plaque, and will be entered into the WPIAL tournament. If three (3) or more teams tie for first place, only those teams will qualify for the playoffs. In the event of a multiple tie (two or more teams) for a playoff position, head-to-head will be the first determinant. If head-to-head does not break the tie, the following Tie-Breaking System will be used. If three (3) or more teams tie for second place and the Tie-Breaking System identifies one (1) team as the second-place team, the remaining teams will be then tied for third place and the process begins all over with head-to-head competition being the first determinant for establishing the third place team. If a tie cannot be, broken, all tied teams will enter the playoffs. TIE-BREAKING SYSTEM a) Section records of the tied teams will be compiled. b) The team(s) with the best (numerical head-to-head) section record among the tied teams will enter post-season play. c) If the tie cannot clearly be broken, all tied teams will enter post-season play. Three (3) WPIAL Class AAA teams, and four (4) Class AA and A teams, will qualify for the State Championships to be held at a date and time to be determined. 2012 GIRLS' VOLLEYBALL ALIGNMENT - CLASS AAA (35 TEAMS)
