Ineligible Teams
* Note 1 if in double 4 section if only one team is qualified (at or above .500) and there is an outright winner and tie for second place in the other side, the second place team losing tiebreaker will enter the playoffs and take on the first place in their half of the bracket

Note 2 Boys Grade 11 Division 1 Dedham and Framingham may calculate .500 percentage one of two ways.  If .500 or better in all games OR .500 in the 2 games with B11 teams - they will be deemed to meet the .500 requirement.

This year we have ineligible teams in the MTOC sections.  Should an ineligible team win the section outright, the second place team will advance to the playoffs.  If there is a tie for second place - tiebreakers will determine the team advancing.  Should an ineligible team be involved in a tie on points, they will remain in place through the tiebreaking comparisons until seeding is complete and then they will be removed from the seed list.
