We have 3 weekends left till District Tournaments.  Lots of District races will come down to the wire and plenty of things still have time to change.  Today I will be releasing my Class 3A thru 1A boys and girls Projections and Predictions.

Class 1A

A regional tournament will be played in Class 1A.

• 8 district each qualifying two or three to three regionals.
• Identical Format for Boys & Girls

School Year	Region 1	Region 2	Region 3
2019-2020	1 & 6	4, 5, 8	2, 3, 7
2020-2021	1 & 8	4, 5, 7	2, 3, 6

 

• The #1 and #2 seed from district 1 & 6 will be paired for the 2019-2020, while the #1, #2, and #3 seeds from District 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 will advance to a regional site.
• In Region 2 (4,5,8) the nine qualifying teams will be seeded by RPI, avoiding any previous district match-ups. (This was how it was done in 2019)
• In Region 3 (2,3,7) the District Champions will receive byes and one team from each District will be placed in each bracket.  (This was how it was done in 2019)
• In Region 1 District 1 and District 6 #1s will play the other Districts #2s.  Region 1 receives 2 state qualifiers, Regions 2 and 3 receive 3 state qualifiers each.
• Each region shall jointly determine its regional playoff site.
• After the Final 8 teams have been determined, the teams will be re-seeded based on the following: The 8 regional winners advance to the state tournament where they will be seeded by a committee, made up of administrative representatives. The committee may use the following criteria to seed the final pairings: Final RPI rankings, previous district matchups, head to head competition and common opponents.
