2025 · The close ones
2025 · The widest margins
The host runs a running clock from a seven-goal lead, so a wide margin is also a short game.
October 17–18, 2025 · the host’s published placement tables, from the host’s own schedule workbook, every score in. Tap a school for its season page.
2025’s names and scores are read from the host’s own schedule workbook, every score in. Standings are the host’s own placement tables, one per division, exactly as published; nothing here re-derives them. The round of each Saturday game is read back from those tables: the game between the teams that finished 1st and 2nd is the final, 3rd and 4th the third-place game, and so on down to 15th. Friday’s rounds follow the pool: two first-round games, then the winners’ game and the third-place game.
Each division seeds four pools of four, and Saturday’s groups take the pools’ winners, runners-up, thirds and fourths in turn, so a pool seed carries a band of places rather than a rank; the seed chart uses that band. The 2025 pool lists are seeds: Friday’s first round pairs 1 v 4 and 2 v 3 in every pool. The host’s sheets do not mark overtime, so no overtime story is told. 2025, Gm 9: The host’s sheet names Leigh here, a Championship team. Pool E’s winners’ game is Heritage v Rio Americano, and both teams’ Saturday places fit that. The host’s spellings (Tamalpias, St Mary, Castilellja, Garces) are matched to the schools’ names.
