The only way to fix that is to make playoffs only stats that discount Rock Bridge's prelim loss that didn't carry over. Otherwise, there's not really any good way to override SQBS putting the team with the better win-loss record first that I know of. You can break out the two top teams into their o...

Hey, we really need staffers for this, so if area high schoolers or people associated with high school teams might be interested in volunteering for this, that would be great. Don't forget, staffing this earns your teams a WUHSAC discount for next year.

Re: WUHSAC XIII (01/29/2011) at WUSTL (St. Louis, Missouri)
Some of the bonus parts were very easy, but those were meant to be coupled with more difficult middle and/or hard parts to keep average conversion around 15 PPB This is not at all the proper way to go about handling bonus difficulty, since it of course is what creates bonuses of variable difficulty...

Hey, I hear SCT is somewhat short on staff, so if any St. Louis area high schoolers would like to staff, WUSTL would probably be willing to take them with us. We'd also be willing to throw in a WUHSAC discount for next year into the mix if that would convince some people.

The only thing I'd have to add as a possible change in the future would be elimination of painfully easy bonus parts.
