Here's how I see the tiebreakers (as per the WCSSAA site). Note that all

Tiebreak #1 - WCI, Cameron Hts, Jacob Hespeler.

This one seems pretty easy. WCI lost to both Cameron Heights and Jacob Hespeler so they would be placed 4th. Cameron Heights and Jacob Hespeler didn't play, but CHCI had a tougher schedule than JHSS. They finish 2nd, Jacob Hespeler 3rd.

So, we have the following teams with byes:
#1 - Forest Heights
#2 - Cameron Heights
#3 - Jacob Hespeler
#4 - Waterloo Collegiate

Tiebreak #2 - SJAM, Eastwood, Huron Hts, Grand River.

In a situation where 4 or more teams are tied, head to head will be used ONLY IF ONE OF THESE TEAMS HAS BEATEN ALL OF THE TEAMS WITH WHICH THEY ARE TIED. Otherwise ties will be broken following the rules 5.3.2 → 5.3.3 → 5.3.4→ 5.3.5 until a highest place finisher is determined. The process will then repeat itself among the remaining tied teams.

No team beat all the other teams.

Strength of Schedule Tiebreak: EASTWOOD has this by far and would get the #5 seed.

Remaining tied teams (3): SJAM, Huron Hts, Grand River.

Eg from WCSSAA website: Team ‘A’ beats team ‘B’ but the other teams have not played, we look at strength of schedule. If team ‘C’ has the strongest strength of schedule the standings would result in: (C-A-B).

SJAM beat Grand River. Grand River and HHHS did not play. Huron Heights has the weakest schedule of the 3.

This would mean SJAM #6, Grand River #7, Huron Heights #8.

Glenview Park #9, WODSS #10 (defeated all other 4-8 teams)

Tiebreak #3 - Bluevale, Preston, KCI

Preston defeated KCI; Bluevale did not play either KCI or Preston. Preston MUST finish ahead of KCI as per WCSSAA regulations.

Strength of Schedule Tiebreak:
BCI - WODSS, CHCI, WCI, GPSS, SJAM, JHSS, ECI, SSS, GCI, EDSS, GRCI, FHCI
4+9+9+7+8+9+8+1+2+0+8+11 = 76
KCI - GCI, SSS, PHS, SJAM, GPSS, FHCI, EDSS, CHCI, WODSS, ECI, HHHS, JHSS
2+1+4+8+7+11+0+9+4+8+8+9 = 71
PHS - JHSS, EDSS, KCI, GRCI, HHHS, WODSS, SSS, ECI, FHCI, CHCI, GPSS, GCI
9+0+4+8+8+4+1+8+11+9+7+2 = 71
Bluevale would get #11 based upon their strength of schedule.

Preston beat KCI head to head, and gets #12.

KCI is eliminated from playoff contention.

So, here's what I have --- take it with a grain of salt for now, please.

#1 - Forest Heights
#2 - Cameron Heights
#3 - Jacob Hespeler SS
#4 - Waterloo CI
------
#5 - Eastwood CI
#6 - SJAM
#7 - Grand River
#8 - Huron Heights
#9 - Glenview Park
#10 - Waterloo-Oxford
#11 - Bluevale
#12 - Preston
