According to the Missouri State High School Activities Association, the high schools playing football are divided into six classes. The largest 32 schools, according to the official MSHSAA enrollments (with private school multiplier) are placed in Class 6, the largest class in Missouri. The next 32 largest are placed in Class 5. The following 64 largest schools are placed in Class 4, and so on, until all schools have been placed in a class.
Once placed in classes, the schools are assigned districts – determined largely by geographic location and conference affiliation. District winners qualify for the State Tournament.
District games are generally the final three regular season games. District winners are decided by using the following criteria:
The team with the best win/loss percentage as determined in district games.
If three teams are tied, the following steps are used to break the tie and determine the qualifier. If only one of the teams is eliminated by a given tie breaker, then the remaining teams refer to step 2.
The 13-point tie breaker system will be used. The margin of victory or loss in district games, up to 13 points shall be recorded (a 56-0 win counts the same as a 14-0 win; this is designed to prevent teams from “running up the score”). The total number of marginal points for t he district games will then be determined by adding those for each district game won and subtracting those for each district game lost. The team totaling the largest number of marginal points shall be ranked above the other team(s).
If three teams remain tied the qualifying team will be determined by totaling the tied teams’ won/loss record against common opponents.
If three teams remain tied, the qualifying team shall be the one with the greatest win/loss percentage during the current season.
If three teams remain tied, the qualifying team shall be determined by taking the overall win/loss records of all opponents played during the current season. The qualifying team will be the team that has played against opponents having the highest wining percentage.
If thee teams remain tied, the tie shall be resolved by a coin toss.
