- At the conclusion of the first 10 weekends of the season, a team’s “win points” are added to the “bonus points” they received from their opponent.
- The sum of those two totals is then divided by the number of games played during the defined PIAA 10 week season.
- When 10 games are played, the sum of win and bonus points will be divided by 10.
- When 9 games are played, the sum of win and bonus points will be divided by 9.
- When a team contracts with 9 opponents and all games are not played, the school must submit the information regarding the un-played game(s) to the PIAA District One Chairperson who will review the circumstances with the PIAA District One Committee and make a determination of the number of games to be used as a divisor.
- When a team schedules fewer than 9 games the school must submit information regarding the reasons for scheduling fewer than 9 games to the District One Chairperson who will review the circumstances with the PIAA District One Committee and make a determination regarding the number of games to be used as a divisor.
- The highest point average established for each team is placed in rank order to determine the seeds and which teams make the playoffs.
Win Points
- Win Points are earned each time a team defeats an opponent. Your school’s classification and your opponent’s classification will determine the sum of the win points (see matrix below). Total number of win points are added at the end of the 10 week season.

- Bonus Points – Win or lose, your team will receive 10 points for each game that your opponent wins during the 10 week season. Bonus points are cumulative throughout the season. Bonus points are not related to team classifications. Bonus points will not be awarded for an opponent’s game (s) that are played prior to the official start or after the final contest date of the PIAA season.
