Playoff Picture Girls Basketball Colorado Class 3A

Playoff Picture Girls Basketball Class 3A

The information to get this together was pulled from the RPI and the updated District Tournaments. The RPI I am using is straight from CHSAA as of Wednesday 2/22/2017. I am going to predict each League Tournament then the Regional tournament off of that and finally the final 8 teams for the state tournament.

Class 3A

The playoff format for 3A goes as follows; Districts Determine own seeding Criteria for the district tournament, Seven Districts each qualify two teams to the state brackets, with the remaining 18 teams determined by RPI, Qualifiers advance to a 32 teams regional/state brackets where the districts champions plus the next highest RPI finisher will host the regions, Seven District Champions and the 1^st highest RPI qualifier will be placed on bracket in order 1-8 and will host the first round and sweet 16 games; seeds 9-32 will be placed on bracket in RPI, avoiding league/district opponents in the first round when possible, Seeds 24-32 may be moved to accommodate geographical considerations.
