The issue is how the tie-breaker rule are written for the Newcastle-Knox City-Perrin district.
Basically the rules list both sernerois in their rules. It states if there is a 3-way tie, all 3 teams will be district tri-champs. The 1st place and runner-up to be determined by point differential (Newcastle 1st and Knox City 2nd). But the same paragraph, the rules state if team A beats team B, team B beats team C and C beats team A the the points differential determined 1st place and the 2nd is determined head-to-head (Newcastle 1st and Perrin 2nd). Each scenario gives a different runner-up, hence the confusion from everyone.
From what I understand, the district chair has asked UIL for clarification and or guidance. So, who know how that will go. My guess is UIL tells them, its your mess due to how you wrote the rules so you figure it out and the Superintendents will get together and decide how they are going to proceed.
Or they could just go old school and flip a coin, odd man out.
This is all assuming Perrin and Newcastle wins this week, Knox City has a bye.
