4A East Girls Soccer Projection

Time of last update — Thursday, Apr. 10 at 1:48 p.m.

Automatic bids

• Note: Where there is a currently-unbreakable tie for an automatic bid, we are using RPI (which is how the NCHSAA breaks ties that cannot be done by head-to-head or “best win”). If projections are updated before conference play begins, we use RPI to project the conference champion.
• Conference champs are in bold. Conference champs who would not be seeded as conference champs if the playoffs began today are in bold italics.

*All American 1-seed: Pine Forest
*Big Carolina 1-seed: New Bern
Cap-6 champ: Leesville Road
Cap-6 2nd place: Cardinal Gibbons
DC-VI champ: Riverside-Durham
DC-VI 2nd place: East Chapel Hill
Greater Neuse River champ: Willow Spring
Greater Neuse River 2nd place: Fuquay – Varina
*Mideastern 1-seed: Ashley
Northern Athletic champ: Wake Forest
Northern Athletic 2nd place: Heritage
*Sandhills 1-seed: Pinecrest
Southwest Wake champ: Apex Friendship
Southwest Wake 2nd place: Holly Springs
*United 8 1-seed: Gray’s Creek

*-Split conference with 3A schools — 1-seeds must have an overall win percentage of .500 or better OR finish in the top three in the conference standings to be seeded with the 1-seeds, or else be seeded with the 2s and wild-cards.

Last five in, first five out

• Note: We will start to implement the “no leapfrogging” stipulation two weeks before official brackets come out. This rule prevents a team from making the playoffs over a team that it finished behind in the final conference standings. Once this process is implemented, there could be changes towards the bottom of the field.
