On occasion, a state or local government authority or a local Board of Education/School Governing Board may, due to a specific public health concern or other emergency circumstances, cause a member school to be closed for a full school day or longer, which prohibits a member school team from participating in a scheduled regular season contest. School closing shall mean that the local health authority or Board of Education/Governing Board has cancelled all secondary school classes and school sponsored extracurricular activities for a minimum of one full school day due to a specific public health concern. In that event:

If two or more tied teams are remaining after the highest position is determined, the next highest position in the district will be given to the team that won in head-to-head contests over the other remaining tied teams; if the next highest position cannot be ...
