The top 4 teams in the Shoreline Conference advance to the league tournament.

Haddam-Killingworth plays Hale-Ray Monday in a game that will determine seeding.

If H-K wins, they are seeded No. 1 and will host No. 4 Old Lyme. No. 3 North Branford will face No. 2 Coginchaug.

If Hale-Ray wins, they will earn the No. 2 seed and host No. 3 H-K. Coginchaug will then earn the No. 1 seed and face No. 4 North Branford.

These pairings are also contingent on Coginchaug defeating Cromwell on Monday.

Here are the current league standings, and how the tie-breaker rules work:

H-K 13-2 (1 game left vs Hale-Ray Monday)
Coginchaug 12-3 (1 game left vs Cromwell Monday)
Hale-Ray 12-3 (1 game left vs H-K)
North Branford 12-4 SLC season complete (beat OL in regular season game)
Old Lyme 12-4 SLC season complete

If Hale-Ray loses Monday to H-K, they would have the same record as Old Lyme and North Branford. North Branford beat both these teams in the regular season, therefore they are in.

Hale-Ray and Old Lyme split the two games, they have the same divisional record and scored the same number of runs against each other.

The final tie-breaker is the Big East format, where you rank all 12 league teams 1-12, and then figure out who beat the highest ranked team. Old Lyme beat Coginchaug, so they would beat out Hale-Ray for the last spot.

Thanks to H-K coach Jeff Talbott for helping me figure out this process.
