How to Qualify for Regionals/State Tournament Volleyball
I have decided to go over how to qualify for Regionals and the State Tournament for Volleyball for 3A thru 1A. Next week I will start posting some Predictions/Projections for the Regional and State Tournaments!
Class 2A & 3A
Regional Seeding/Pairing and Sites
All League Champions will automatically earn a berth to Regionals
The remaining teams (up to 36) will be selected based on the CHSAA RPI Rankings published at the end of the regular season.
Teams will then be seeded based on the CHSAA Regional Seeding Criteria:
- The CHSAA RPI Rankings will be the primary seeding Consideration
- THE CHSAA Seeding Committee will only make changes based on splitting up league opponents and geographical considerations (If and when possible).
Teams seeded No 1. Thru 12 will host regionals.
All Regionals Winners will automatically advance to the State Tournament.

Class 1A
Regional Seeding/Pairings and Sites
With 3 teams in each Regional, only 1 court is necessary. Team 1 may host at their home school if they wish. Discussion should happen in advance between District involved. Those schools hosting regionals should have adequate seating capacity. Standards without cables attached to the floor should be used for safety reasons.
Every District Qualify three teams to regionals.
Wildcards Teams (4) will be selected after the completion of the Regional Tournaments. Teams will be selected based off the CHSAA RPI Rankings published the MONDAY AFTER REGIONALS. Teams must have participated in Regionals in order to be considered as a “Wildcard Team’ to the State Championship. 8 regional Winners plus these 4 wildcard teams will advance to State.
