The Bradley-Terry Model for Seeding Spring 2024 is Now Activated
By the agreement of the Athletic Council in Section III and the sports of Baseball and Softball, the spring 2024 sectional seeding for the tournaments will use the Bradley-Terry Predictive Seeding Model (BTM). High School Sport Stats provides this model and can update the averages as coaches enter their game results each night.
BTM averages take into account one teams game result vs. another team but will also compare that result to all other teams played on both schedules and on down the line back to the start of the season. Giving consideration to strength of schedules for all teams in Section III, the model will return an average based on the likely hood a team will prevail in its next game on the schedule.
The Spring Sectional Tournament will be seeded by the BTM, and again we encourage all coaches to enter their game results ASAP on game days. HSSS recalculates their average every 3 minutes.
Active as of 10AM 5/1/24.

Coaches: Spring Weather Leading to Cancellations
If the early Spring weather causes your game to be cancelled (PPD), remember that you can use the red calendar feature in your Coach Tools to indicate that the game for that day is cancelled (PPD),
You can use the green calendar tool to reschedule that game as soon as a date and time are determined.
This takes about 2 seconds and communicates to the media and community that your game will not be played. I can also have an impact on fans and families traveling to a game and coaches planning to attend to scout.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to HSSS.
Thank you.
Section III Spring Sports Team Photo
Adding your team photo to your team page on High School Sport Stats really takes viewing your page by the team, the parents, and the public who follow your page, a better experience.
If you have your team photo taken with your players in their team uniform with numbers visible, please post on your page through your coach tools console. For best results, resize your team photo to 800 pixels wide. Also, your photo should be saved in .jpg, .gif, or .png formats for the best results.
If you would like to email them to HSSS and we will load them for you, please email them to pkabel@frontiernet.net.
New Coach Tools Console
For 2023-2024, HSSS has launched a new Coach Tools Console. There are new efficiencies built into it. Coaches are welcome to check it out and to use it. Both consoles will work simultaneously going forward.
You can access the new console at New Coach Tools Console.
NOTE: For 2024 all of your Roster Imports were done for you when we launched the spring page.
