Class 3A Girls Basketball Breakdowns

Girls Basketball Class 3A Regional Projections Week 10

Girls Basketball Class 3A Regional Projections Week 10

For my projections I am using the CHSAA Seeding and Selection Index.  I am going to be predicting the League Champions.  Remember to qualify for Regionals you must be ranked inside the top 32 or win your League (If you have 5 or more teams).  At the end I pick the 8 teams I think make it to state based on my projections.

Class 3A

  • 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. 
  • Seeding Criteria for the 32-team state bracket-CHSAA Seeding & Selection Index published after the regular season.  Seeds 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.  Seeds 17-32 may be moved up to two spots based upon geography & League matchups. 
  • First Two Rounds of the state tournament (Regionals) will be hosted by the top seed in that quadrant of the bracket, over two days. (4-teams total).
  • Top 8 teams will advance through the bracket.  The bracket Will Not be reseeded before State.  Class 3A Great 8 will play a Modified consolation bracket. Teams losing on Thursday will not advance to Friday.
