Interesting model. California is a bit odd. I know one school that may go through their entire league season without winning a game, and still go to the Sectional tournament. Califormia splits schools into 5 divisions. As I unerstand it, losses to teams in a higher division don't count as losses (but wins do). so since this school is a D3 school, but all the other schools in its league are D1 or D2, the league season losses don't count, and their invite is based on their non-league schedule, including tournaments. Strange system (and strange league).

(I may have details wrong, but it is close to that.)
