2010 FHSAA Football Championships
Playoff Tiebreakers - Monday, Nov. 8
Here is a list of all tiebreakers for district championships or district runner-ups. Member schools spotting errors in these scenarios should immediately notify the FHSAA Office.

Rules of Competition are:
-Seeding is based on overall win-loss percentage. The higher seeded team in each 12-minute quarter shall wear dark jerseys.  Teams must bring both light and dark jerseys.
-Participating schools shall play one entire 12-minute quarter against their bracketed opponents in each District Tiebreaker.
-Each participating team is allotted two timeouts per quarter.
-If the score is tied at the end of regulation, the NFHS tiebreaker procedure shall be used to determine a winner (the 10-Yard Line Overtime Tiebreaker Plan).
-If three schools are participating in a District Tiebreaker, the No. 1 seed receives a first-round bye and will play the winner of the quarter between the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds. If the No. 1 seed defeats the winner of seeds No. 2 vs. No. 3 then the No. 1 seed will advance as the district champion and the school it defeated will advance as the district runner-up. If the No. 1 seed loses to the winner of seeds No. 2 and No. 3, then the school that defeated the No. 1 seed will advance as the district champion, and the No. 1 seed must then play the loser of seeds No. 2 vs. No. 3 to determine the district runner-up.
-If the District Tiebreaker is being played to determine a district runner-up, then the winner of the second 12-minute quarter advances as the district runner-up.
-The warm-up period between quarters should not exceed 20 minutes.
-Teams are allowed a maximum of 60 players in uniform.
-No marching bands are allowed.
