Welcome to the 2014 District Tiebreakers page here on Florida HS Football. Each listing will show who is involved and what is at stake. In the event a site location is not listed at the time, we will post it once that information is made available by the FHSAA. All tiebreakers take place at 7 PM local time on Monday, November 3rd, unless otherwise noted.
TIEBREAKER RULES
From the Florida High School Athletic Association, this is a list of rules in regards to the District Tiebreakers/Shootouts according to the football manual as published and distributed to coaches around the state:
- Seeding is based on overall win-loss percentage. The higher-seeded team in each 12-minute quarter shall wear dark jerseys. Teams must bring both light and dark jerseys.
- Participating schools shall play one entire 12-minute quarter against their bracketed opponent(s) in each District Tiebreaker.
- Each participating team is allotted two timeouts per quarter.
- If the score is tied at the end of regulation, the NFHS overtime procedure shall be used to determine a winner (the 10-yard line overtime tiebreaker plan).
- If three schools are participating in a District Tiebreaker, the No. 1 seed receives a first-round bye and will play the winner of the quarter between the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds. If the No. 1 seed defeats the winner of seeds No. 2 vs. No. 3, then the No. 1 seed will advance as the district champion and the school it defeated will advance as the district runner-up. If the No. 1 seed loses to the winner of seeds No. 2 and No. 3, then the school that defeated the No. 1 seed will advance as the district champion, and the No. 1 seed must then play the loser of seeds No. 2 vs. No. 3 to determine the district runner-up.
- If the District Tiebreaker is being played to determine a district runner-up, then the winner of the second 12-minute quarter advances as the district runner-up.
- The warm-up period between quarters should not exceed 20 minutes.
- Teams are allowed a maximum of 60 players in uniform.
- No marching bands are allowed.
