Highschool format is basically a ladder system. You just play a bunch of random teams in your area, and then your relative rating is based on how well your local teams did against other teams, and playoff seeding is based on that with most of the teams in the playoffs not being your local teams.
you must be talking about crazy northwestern high school football.
In Texas, there's 6 classifications, with each classification broken up into upwards of 20ish districts. The top 3 or 4 teams make the playoffs in each district, and a state champion is crowned in each classification. It's a 5-6 round affair. Many state champions will finish the season with 16-0 or 15-1 type records. Some of the lower classifications have a big/small school division as well, so they'll end up with two champions. It's not unheard of to see a team that's 3-7 make the playoffs sometimes if they lost all their non-district games to other good teams, but managed to finish 3rd or 4th in their own district with the 3 wins.
If anyone is ever interested in a high school football vacation that would rival going out to zona/florida for baseball spring training or attending march madness for basketball, look up the Texas state football championship game schedule. They typically will hold all the games b2b2b over like 3 days. They'll all be played at Jerryworld if the state keeps doing what its done recently. You could buy an all session pass to AT&T stadium and spend the entire weekend watching the best teams from each classification in Texas all in one place.

The ladder is like scheduling non conference games so in a way it is like a High School/College regular season type format. But ya, there is no end of season tournament among the best teams from around the area in GLB2 so you just want to be #1 in the ranking based on the season as a whole and not wait for the tournament to show your best.

No clue how they do it in the northwest.
And how is that different than what I described? Do the teams in those 6 classifications play all the other teams in those classifications in their 10 game seasons? Do they only play teams in their same classification during those 10 games? Do they only play teams in their districts?
Or do they just play a handful of local teams and get rated based on that, as I said?

they do play non-district games, but those games have no bearing on playoff seeding. Seeding is based purely on your district record against the 5-7 other teams in your district.

Ladder games don't have any bearing on playoff seeding in GLB2 either. But regardless we aren't talking about playoff seeding. We are talking about tier rank. Which Texas High School football clearly does in the same manner as anyone else.

I don't know that it's been explicitly put in that way, but there's a long-standing issue with what stats and how those stats are displayed. I'd love to see something like this personally.
Ladder games in Seasoned and JMan can be horribly mismatched (eg Seasoned Vs Vet) so it's just as likely your drone is going to have some bad days too for a couple of seasons.

not really. If you've finished top 5 in your tier, you've done something fairly significant with your team.
