All.... Yes indeed and 1A -6A brackets. I have a question. In the IHSA announcement today under Policy 18 they refer in new seeding regulations that football will fall under some type of computer placement in the post-season. Is that correct? It's a bit vague. Ratsy
Been telling you this on the Nation side for over a year.....(drops the mic)
2. The Board approved a recommendation to adopt changes presented by an ad hoc committee on IHSA Policy 18 – Grouping and Seeding.
Beginning in 2015-16, team-bracketed sport teams (Baseball, Basketball, Soccer, Volleyball) in Class 1A and Class 2A, as well as those outside of Chicagoland in Class 3A and 4A, will now be assigned to two Sub-Sectionals (as opposed to four Regionals) that feed into a Sectional site. Each Sub-Sectional will be seeded and the top two seeds sent to different regional sites. The competing regional site of the remaining teams in each Sub-Sectional will be determined by geography.
In Class 3A and Class 4A team-bracketed sports, teams will continue to be placed in the current Sectional Complex format as long as substantial travel does not require them to be placed in the aforementioned Sub-Sectional format.
In the IHSA Football Playoffs, Class 1A-6A will be seeded in two geographic brackets 1-16, eliminating the previous mileage component within the Policy that would change the bracket to quadrants if certain travel mileage distances were exceeded. Class 7A & 8A will now be seeded 1-32.

. . . and some people thought this would never happen. To all those "whiners" out there who "whined" about the previous crap-full-of-puke playoff process, I give you all a congrats! Chicago St. Rita (5 - 4) at either Machesney Park Harlem (9 - 0) or Rockford Boylan Catholic (9 - 0).
