The selection procedure is simple, yet it can be very complex under certain conditions. School enrollment shall determine the class in which each school participates. A conference champion must play at least four Illinois high schools, and play at least five conference games. A minimum of eight varsity games must be played by the conclusion of the ninth week, this year the date is November 7. A maximum of nine games may be counted towarrd the playoffs. If a game cannot be played because of a strike (in this area tne Elgin schools) every effort must be made to make up the game. If this cannot be done, the striking team must forfeit, will receive a loss on its record, and the team receiving the forfeit will have a win on its record. Conference champions are automatically in the playoffs. The selection for the At Large teams is a little more complex. An independent school which does not belong to any conference, with a winning percentage of 80 percent will be given first consideration. Conference co- champions not selected as a representative of its conference with a winning percentage of 80 percent will be given second consideration. If berths still remain, the I.H.S.A. will readjust winning percentages downward to complete the pairings, (this has never happened). A point system will be used to determine At Large teams. A first division (winning) team is one that has won more than 50 percent of its games (9-0, 5-4). A second division team is one that has won as many as it has lost, (4-4). A third division team losing more games than it has won, (4-5, 3-6). Point evulation will determine a school's total points. Victory over a first division team is 24 pts., second division team 16 pts., and a third division team 8 pts. This applies to conference games only. If a team beats a non-conference opponent in the same class (enrollment) add two pts., a loss is 0. If a team defeats an opponent one class up add three pts. Defeating a team one class lower add one pt., (no points for a loss). To defeat a team two classes higher add four pts., two classes lower one-half point. Loss to a team two classes lower subtract twopts. If a team defeats a opponent three classes higher add five pts., a win over a team three classes lower add one-fourth point. This is why the Blue Streaks will not play Marian Central. Playing a school in a lower class will hurt their chances at selection time for the playoffs, unelss they are conference champions. It is not as complicated as it seems, but a lot of good football teams lose out because of this point system. A good crowd should be on hand for Parents Night at McCracken field tonight. The Warriors looked impressive in their win over Stevenson last week, and a lot of people who couldn't make the game will want to see the new edition of the Fighting Warriors tonight. As you might expect I caught a lot of flack last week at the Warrior game from the fans, as I had picked the Warriors to lose to Stevenson. I won't make that mistake this week, as I'll pick the Warriors to notch number two over Grant. I'll pick Warren to upset the Tigers of Bill Mack in a close one. Antioch to beat Woodstock in a real ding dong game. Crown to beat Marian Central, Jacobs to beat Wauconda, South to defeat Stevenson, Dundee to edge St. Edward's, Cary over Lake Zurich. I think the Skyhawks will beat Grayslake, in another close game. APPEARING FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 25th DYNAMICS For Your Listening ond Dancing Plaasuro S2 Cover .
