Playoff Picture Boys Basketball Class 1A
The information to get this together was pulled from the RPI and latest league standings. I every hope to do this every Tuesday or Wednesday but for this week I am just trying to get one poster. I am using the league standing that I updated on Wednesday and the RPI I am using is straight from CHSAA as of Friday 1/27/2016.
Class 1A
Eight Districts, each qualifying two or three (as noted) to three regionals
The #1 and #2 seeds from Districts 1 and 6 will be paired for 2016-2017 (in 2017-2018 it will be Districts 1 and 8) will be paired, while the #1, #2, #3 seeds from Districts 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 in 2017-2018) advance to a regional site. Regions 2s (4, 5, 8 2016-2017) and 3s (2, 3, 7), the nine qualify teams will be seeded by RPI, avoiding any previous district match-ups. In Region 1, District 1 and 6 #1s will play the other districts #2s. Regions 1 receives 2 state qualifiers, Regions 2 and 3 receive three state qualifiers each.
| School Year | Region 1 | Region 2 | Region 3 |
| 2016-2017 | 1, 6 | 4, 5, 8 | 2, 3, 7 |
| 2017-2018 | 1, 8 | 4, 5, 7 | 2, 3, 6 |

Quick Note
I believe this is how 1A is set up for the regional tournaments. The 9 qualifiers are seeded by RPI and will play for 3 berths to the state tournament. Very similar regional set up as the West Region in 2A. The top three seeds all have byes and play the winners of the first round games. Only three advance to the state tournament. The only region’s really hurt by this format is the one that only qualifies 2 teams to the regional. Creede/Lake City would be out right now and they are #8 in the RPI. Besides them only 6 team out of the top 24 are not making the tournament and most of them are 18-24. The District by far is District 7 who only have 1 team in the top 20 and the other two are in #31 and #34. Of course just like 2A the District tournament will be huge! There are some districts that are 4 or 5 teams deep so finishing in the top 3 will be a battle.
