Regional Tournament Projections Softball Class 3A (Updated 6:00pm, 10/8)

These are my final Regional Projections for Class 3A Softball. The official brackets will be out tomorrow. I will post the brackets as soon as they are available. Congratulations to all teams on a great season.

The Regional format for 3A goes as follows:

For 3A, a minimum of 17 games must be played for postseason eligibility. Thirty two (32) teams advance to the regional bracket through league play and RPI/MaxPreps. All league champions are automatic qualifiers. In order to qualify as a league, the league must have a minimum of five teams. Schools in a multiple-class league may earn an automatic qualifier for their classification only if they win the league outright. This will mean that if a 3A or 5A school wins the multi-class league title, any 4A school in that league can only qualify for the 4A regionals through RPI/MaxPreps. The top 32 teams in the classification based on the final RPI/MaxPreps rankings will qualify for the post-season bracket. Each conference champion will automatically be placed on the playoff bracket. Conference champions are determined by the conference Bylaws or policies. If a conference champion is not ranked in the top 32 based on the final RPI/MaxPreps ranking, they will replace the lowest-ranked team that is not a conference champion in the top 32.
