Tie Breaker

I think they have the option as a Region to chose whatever method they desire, but prior to the season starts, I hope.
If both teams play the same amount of games then it's a coin toss unless the region has a different tiebreaker. @VHSL-helper if you know something different let us know. I know Halifax got the eighth seed over Pulaski in D based on the numbers of games played.
All regions are bound by the rules in the Handbook.
Rule 68-4-8 states the rules to decide the tie breaker.
Those rules are comprehensive, but do not include a “coin flip.” The very last option is to “draw lots”, which I guess could be interpreted as a coin flip.
There is no provision for any deviation from the tie breaker process by the Regions.
With respect to my post above, I was incorrect. The option to deviate is NOT available to the Regions.

Hopefully, I got it correct this time. I apologize about the coin toss issue. So upon looking at the rule it looks like the Region would have to use tie breaker G. Rating average of opponents. Currently Salem would hold the tiebreaker 22.1526 to 21.69976 for Jefferson Forest.
I can't imagine it does (or why it would) but JF's JV has only lost once as well. To SR oddly enough (guessing they had key injuries or kids moved up to varsity? They started 4-0, dominating everyone (except JF which they won 8-6) then struggled mightily.
