Final Girls Basketball Class 1A Regional Projections

This is my final projection for Class 1A Girls before the official regional brackets are released.  The CHSAA Seeding and Selection Index have been finalized. 

For my projections I am using the CHSAA Seeding and Selection Index.  I am going to be predicting the District Champions and may just give a quick reason as to why I picked each District Champion.  If you are a District Champion ranked in the top 16 of the Seeding Index, you will automatically host a regional.  Remember to qualify for Regionals you must be ranked inside the top 32 or win your District.

Class 1A

  • District must unanimously agree prior to the season on their own seeding criteria.  If an agreement cannot be met, district Seeding will be done by the CHSAA Seeding & Selection Index (50% Maxpreps & 50% RPI).  Maxpreps and RPI will run through Districts.
  • District Winners (8) advancing to the 32-team state bracket.  District Champions are guaranteed a top 8 (host slot) as long as they are in the top 16 of the CHSAA Seeding & Selection Index after Districts.
  • Remaining 24 teams are filled in by the CHSAA Seeding & Selection Index published after Districts.  Any team moved up to the 1-8 slots if a District winner is not in the top 16, will be true seeded 1-8.
  • Seeding criteria for the 32-team state bracket-CHSAA Seeding & Selection Index published after Districts.  Seed 9-16 are true seeded except to try and avoid league matchups in the FIRST ROUND ONLY.  Teams may be moved one spot up or down.  Teams 17-32 may be moved two spots based upon geography and league/district matchups.
  • First two rounds of the state tournament (Regionals) will be hosted by the top seed in the quadrant of the bracket, over two days. (4-teams total)
  • Teams will be reseeded prior to the final week-state championship (Final 8).  The CHSAA Index published after Districts will be the only factor for State Seeding.
  • Top 8 teams will advance.  Class 1A Great 8 will play a Consolation Bracket.
