Division standings are based
upon games played against Con
ference opponents only, thus elimi
nating contests played against
non-PCCC members. The two di
vision winners will qualify for the
NCAA 8th District Playoff -a 4
team double elimination tourney
which the NCAA has announced
for the site of the Northern Divi
sion winner on May 28, 29 and 31.
According to the PCC formula,
in the event of a tie in the final
division standings. the team
which won the series between hte
tied teams would be declared the
Division winner. Should the teams
break even in their series, a one
game playoff would be held. In a
three-way tie, the formula is the
same, except that if a three-way
palofi' is necessary, the two teams
geographically nearest each other
would play the first game, with
the winner hosting the team get
ting the first round bye in the
final contest.
