How do the playoffs work for Nassau? I believe the are 5 divisions or conferences. Do they break out by record to play for titles by size, A, B, C, etc? What determines who makes it it to playoffs?
Return to school enrollment conferences for playoffs
As far as who qualifies for playoffs: Conference 1: All teams Conference 2: All teams Conference 3: Top 8 teams Conference 4: Top two teams Conference 5: Top team
Just because you *qualify* doesn't always mean you make playoffs as your classifiactions bracket may already be filled by teams in a higher conference
I appreciate this forum since we can actually get informed answers. Curious; What would prevent a weaker team from playing in a higher bracket just to qualify for playoffs? Another observation, this season there have been so many lopsided contests who determines the divisions each year?
Do teams really qualify with losing records?
Absolutely. For example as of today: Plainedge is Class C, winless in Conference 1. They will not only make playoffs they'll be the number 5 seed. Seaford, also Class C, is undefeated in Conference 2. They will be the 6 seed.
It seems ridiculous, yes, but just completely by chance the two teams played an OOC game earlier in year and Plainedge won 18-15. So maybe it somehow works.
Definitely not comparing apples to apples. Undefeated in Conference 2 while playing a much less competitive schedule. Plainedge will probably get moved down next year and Seaford will be moved up. The schedule in Conference 1 is extremely challenging.
