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 |
| 2018-2019 | 1, 7 | 4, 5, 8 | 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. When you look at each region the easiest road to the state tournament is for Antonito and La Veta neither will be challenged by District 1’s first or second place teams. The hardest path I feel to get to the state tournament is for Region 3. You are looking at some very good match ups in the Regional finals. We will have a team like Kit Carson or South Baca not make the State tournament. The final 8 teams I have making the state tournament are; Antonito, La Veta, Heritage Christian, Fleming, Briggsdale, Kim/Branson, Kit Carson, Kiowa.
