Class 4A Boys & Girls State Tournament Projections Week 9

Class 4A Boys & Girls State Tournament Projections Week 9

For my projections I am using the CHSAA Seeding and Selection Index.  I am just doing a projection of the 32-team bracket.  League Champions will be predicted to give out automatic berths into the state tournament.  No teams automatically host and you must be ranked in the top 8 of the CHSAA Seeding Index.

Class 4A

• A total of 32 teams will qualify for the single elimination bracket.
• League champions earn an automatic berth in the playoffs as long as they win their league outright.  Each league must have a minimum of 5 teams in it for an automatic berth.
• Maxpreps and RPI will run through the regular season.
• The remaining teams will be added (up to 32) based on the CHSAA Seeding & Selection Index (50% Maxpreps/50% RPI)
• Seeding will be done by CHSAA Seeding & Selection Index.  Seeds 1-24 are true seeded except to try to avoid league matchups in the first round only (teams may be moved up or down 1 spot).  Teams 25-32 may then be moved based upon geography and league matchups. 
• Higher seeds will host (First round until the great 8).
• Great 8 games, Final 4, and State Championship will be played at a neutral site selected by CHSAA.
