The problem is that the number of games played could not be predetermined because cancellations were inevitable. If winning percentage were the top criteria, would a 6-0 team be the number one seed? I concede that example is extreme, but what about a 9-0 team that hadn't played NDP, McDonogh or SPSG? Should that team be the top seed? The IAAM should have published criteria specific to this season.

Coversely should a team that ends with an 8-5 record get a higher seed than a team that goes 7-0 and had six Covid cancellations? . Please look at how college sports handled this situation this winter. There were massive cancellations due to Covid. You can find the links below. All of the sports and conferences based their seedings off of winning percentage. The IAAM clearly blew this.

Maybe so but all the ADs knew how it was going to be done going into the season. Maybe they should have published the seeding rules on their website so that crazy parents knew them, but if anyone paid attention to the standings all season they would have seen how it was being done. They didn't change things around last night. The standings have been sorted that way all year.
Covid issues already cancelled one playoff game.
MDSA out due to Covid. GCS advances.

That's the third shutdown for MDS? They just played a games last week and this monday after their second shutdown
