Yes they did.
Beulah, Valley City, and St. Mary's clinched berths last week out west. Shanley, Wahpeton, and Central Cass also clinched out east.
Kindred will secure the final AA playoff spot with a win either against Wahpeton tonight or Enderlin/Maple Valley next week OR Hillsboro/Central Valley loses one of their final two games (against Lisbon or Shanley).
What if EMV beats Kindred & HCV loses to Shanley this weekend? Wouldn't they all be 3-4 then?
Problem is...EMV has to win by 17+ just to force the next tiebreaker (point differential would be 0 then for all three teams; not sure what 3rd tiebreak is for 1-1 teams) but the chances for EMV is less then 1%...if even that good.
The next tiebreaker is point differential in all region games with a maximum of 17 points. Sadly, Enderlin/Maple Valley has no chance to make the playoffs. Kindred would win that tiebreaker with a -6 point differential in the region, EMV would have -26, and HCV would have -32.
The West Region gets a little odd.
Valley City wins:
#1 Valley City
#2 Beulah
#3 St. Mary's
St. Mary's wins by 11 or fewer:
#1 Beulah
#2 St. Mary's
#3 Valley City
St. Mary's wins by 12 or more:
#1 St. Mary's
#2 Valley City
#3 Beulah
I find it odd that the way the tiebreaker works, if Valley loses a close game to St. Mary's, then they'll end up a #3 seed. Consequently, Valley gets blown out, then they'll be the #2 seed...
How does this work exactly?

IF Beulah loses then the winner of SM & VC is #1; loser is #2 and Beulah is #3.
ALSO caserace0710...I have Kindred's region Point Differential at 13 going into this week...if EMV were to win by 17 then it would be -4, EMV -26 & HCV -29 (speculating this week's score vs. Shanley of -17)...still correct that EMV has no chance to get into playoffs.
