Conference Alignment

The 2013 soccer season was the first under the 2012 - 2014 classification cycle. Hall was moved back down to the 6A classification, whereas Van Buren was moved back up to the 7A classification. In an effort to reduce travel costs, the sixteen 6A teams were distributed among four conferences along with the sixteen 7A teams.[1] However, only 6A teams were taken into account when determining 6A state playoff berths.

Regular season

Teams in the 7A/6A West and 7A/6A South conferences played a single round-robin of seven games, playing once against each opponent. Teams in the 7A/6A Central and 7A/6A East played each other home-and-away in a double round-robin of fourteen games. Matches finishing in a draw after 80 minutes were sent directly to a penalty shootout. The winner of the shootout was awarded a win, whereas the loser was awarded a loss.

If two or more teams were equal on wins and losses at the end of conference play, the following criteria was used to determine the final standings:[2]

  1. Greater number of wins in matches between the tied teams.
  2. Greater goal difference (up to 3 goals per game)in matches between the tied teams (if more than two teams finish equal on points).
  3. Greater number of goals scored in matches among the tied teams (if more than two teams finish equal on points).
  4. Greater goal difference (up to 3 goals per game)in all conference matches.
  5. Greater number of goals scored in all conference matches.
  6. Coin flip.

State Playoffs

Power rankings determined seeding and thus which teams qualified to the state playoffs.[3] 6A members were dropped out of the rankings. Siloam Springs was considered a south team for seeding purposes, whereas the four 7A teams from the 7A/6A Central conference were considered east teams. Six teams from the south and six from the east advanced to the playoffs.
