Playoff picture

NCHSAA plays flag football in three groups: 1A through 6A together, 7A and 8A alone, with 48, 48 and 24 teams making the field. Seeding is by RPI within East and West on October 28. The RPI here is ours, computed with NCHSAA's formula from the games stored, so it moves the moment a score is in. Projected brackets and the bubble, from 2,000 simulated seasons →

About these numbers

What the section rests on, and what it does not have yet.

  • Schedules and scores come from MaxPreps, where NCHSAA directs schools to report flag football results. Home and away come from each team's own schedule page.
  • Every NCHSAA member school's MaxPreps flag football page was checked, so a school with no team is recorded as not fielding one, not simply missing.
  • The RPI here uses the association's formula (0.4 WP + 0.4 OWP + 0.2 OOWP) on the games stored. NCHSAA has published its own flag football RPI table since 22 September; ours is checked against it every run, and can be a day ahead of it.
  • No outside system rates North Carolina flag football yet, so there is nothing to print beside our power ratings. Early ratings rest on a few games a team and will move.
