Class 1A Boys Basketball Regional and State Tournament Predictions/Projections Week 10

We have about a month left of the season and I want to give a look towards regionals and State. They have reverted Regionals back to the 2019 format and that is posted below. I am using my District Predictions article to come up with the teams. For Region 2 and 3 they were seeded different in 2019. After rereading the bulletin, I am going to seed District 2 by RPI only avoiding District Matchups. For Region 3 I am going to seed how they did in 2019 with each District winner getting a bye and then no teams from same District in same pod. If I hear different then I will come back and change my seeding at that time.

How to Qualify for Regionals and State

8 District each qualify 2 or 3 teams to three regionals. The three regionals are posted below

Region 1	Region 2	Region 3
District 1 & 8	District 4, 5, 7	District 2, 3, 6

The #1 and #2 seeds from Districts 1 and 8 will be paired, while the #1, #2, and #3 seeds from Districts 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 will advance to a regional site. In Region 2 (4,5,7) and Region 3 (2, 3, 6), the nine qualify teams will be seeded by RPI avoiding any previous district matchups. In Region 1, District 1 and 8 #1s will play each other districts #2. Region 1 receives 2 state qualifiers, Region 2 & 3 receive three state qualifiers each.

After the Final 8 teams have been determined the teams will be re-seeded base on the following: The eight regional winners advance to the state tournament where they will be seeded by seeding criteria approved in a committee, made up of administrative representatives. The committee may use the following criteria to seed the final pairings: final RPI, previous district matchup’s, head-to-head competition, and common opponents.

A consolation bracket will be played in the Great 8.
