Class 3A Baseball Regional Projections

Class 3A Baseball Regional Projections

We are in the early part of the baseball season but what I have decided to do was give us a early look at the Regional Projections for Class 3A.  I will dive much more into this next week but wanted to give us a jumping off point.  The RPI data I used was pulled on 6/4.  Of course, expect changes thru the end of the season.  Good luck to all teams fighting for a playoff spot.

How Class 3A Playoff Works

1. 24 teams to regionals based on RPI.  The 8 teams with the highest RPI will host regionals, the remaining 24 teams will be ranked by RPI and then any first round league match-ups will be adjusted.  The bottom 12 teams may be moved for geographical purposes.
2. Regional hosts receive a bye in the first game.  There will be 3 teams at each regional.
3. 8 regional winners advance to the Double Elimination State Tournament. (See picture at the end of bracket)
