Class 2A Boys Basketball Regional and State Tournament Predictions/Projections Week 12
For my Predictions I will be using the 3 teams I selected in my District Predictions Article posted earlier. I will then use RPI to seed the field. I will pick the 8 teams I think qualify for State based on these Regional Predictions/Projections. Still some things to sort out and with 3 days left of games expect changes to the RPI.
Class 2A
- Each District qualifies 3 teams to Regionals, with the remaining 8 teams determined by the next high RPI scores.
- The District Champions shall be seeded 1-8 based on RPI and shall host the regional tournaments.
- The remainder of the teams shall be seeded 9-32 by RPI avoiding first round district matchups.
- RPI Seeds 25-32 may be moved to accommodate geography if it benefits the entire bracket.
- The 8 regional winners shall advance to the state tournament.
- After the Final 8 teams have been determined, the teams will be re-seeded based on the following: Final RPI, previous District Matchups, Head-to-Head competition, and common opponents.
