Sidwell made a smart decision by scheduling as many cupcakes as possible to create a reasonable win-loss record that has restored morale to the school.
Appreciate you coming back THREE YEARS LATER to post your meaningless drivel.
My day is certainly richer and fuller by having this insight into Sidwell's football schedule.
Come back here when Sidwell is playing Bullis, Dematha etc. Bragging about a cupcake schedule just shows how petty you are.

Funny how athletics are totally unimportant until one's school becomes competitive.
Go Quakers! Hope you learn to embrace the FULL high school experience.

Oh good grief. As a public school parent I'm interested in comparisons of things like college counseling. But reviving a year-old thread to bash a kid's sport? Really?

Your feelings are noted on this anonymous forum. The formal bylaws of the Independent School League (ISL) provide otherwise, of course.

Tell that to the IAC.
The IAC Bylaws wrote:THE CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP in soccer, basketball, ice hockey, wrestling, baseball, golf, lacrosse and tennis, are to be the winner of the regular season. If there is a tie for first place each team will be awarded the conference championship. At the conclusion of each regular season there will be a conference tournament. If the tournament champion is different than the regular season champion there will be co-champions.

Two other recent ISL examples:
1. In spring 2012, Georgetown Visitation won the ISL upper division (AA) lacrosse championship by winning the regular season (and breaking the bazillion year streak of St. Stephens St. Agnes), even though the Saints won the tournament.
2. In fall 2012, Bullis won the ISL field hockey championship by going undefeated in the regular season, although losing to the Saints in the tournament.
As a prior poster mentioned, movement between the ISL upper and lower divisions (AA and A), in the sports with two divisions, is determined based on the regular season. An actual cloth banner is awarded--to the regular season champ. And standings in the Lewis Cup, awarded to the best overall aggregate athletic performance in the ISL, are based on the regular season. At least once in the past 15-20 years (can't remember what year), they even cancelled most of the ISL fall tournaments and justified it on the grounds that the tournament didn't determine anything. There have occasionally been proposals to change things (for example, make the tournament winner co-champs if different from the regular season winner) but the changes have not been adopted. (Some say because in this "everyone gets a trophy" era, it heightens the chances that two programs can call themselves champs.)
Accurate.
