What the table is

Each class page has a "Tournament picture" table. It sorts the class by win percentage in games on The Mass Pitch, with a tie counting as half a win, and lists each school's record against the rest of its class. It is not an official ranking, a prediction or a seed list.

NEPSAC picks the fields. A committee selects and seeds an eight-team bracket in each class, weighing overall record, record against teams in the same class, head-to-head results and strength of schedule. Seeds come out Sunday, Nov. 15. The quarterfinals are Wednesday, Nov. 18, the semifinals Saturday, Nov. 21, and all four finals Sunday, Nov. 22, at Rivers in Weston.
