D1 Three-Way Tie

[NWIAHawkfan]

Assuming West Lyon Western, and West Sioux all handle things Friday, and West Lyon beats Western in week 9, that sets up a 3-way tie for the District 1 Title. Does anyone know if there is a definite protocol in place to settle a 3-way tie where there is no head to head winner? I assumed it was straight up RPI, but have been told that there isn't any sort of tie-breaker written into the rule book.

It is in the rule book: RPI determines champ.

It’s on the State website. It says...
New in 2019, only one champion will be named out of each district. Two-way ties are broken through head-to-head competition, but with any true three-way ties for district championships, the automatic qualifying spot as district champion will go to the team with the highest RPI. The other two teams will reenter the at-large field and may qualify for the playoffs through RPI.
