VHSL Regional Playoff Seedings

[Anonymous]

Anyone know how the seedings for the regional playoffs work? I think its different for each class/division, but I can't find any information online. DC's school is 3B and their district consists of Class 3 and 4 schools. They don't play half the schools in their class/division during the regular season and some schools will play some Class 5 and 6 schools, whereas others don't. Some might even play Class 1 or 2 schools, not sure. How does seeding work when everyone plays different schools?

The state playoffs is easy to understand, top two from the 4 regional playoffs make it, but the regional playoffs have me baffled. Even if it is for other Class/divisions, anyone have good info?

From what i remember and this is dated, i haven't had a kid in HS for a couple years. First thing is District tournament, everyone makes it and seeding is based off regular season district record - At class 4, dulles district...i think the top 4 plus the highest losing seed from the first round. so basically if the #1 seed lost in the first round they'd still advance to regionals but they'd go to Regionals as the district 4 or 5 seed.

There is 8 teams for the regional tournament and depending on district size will determine how many allocations they get - 1 district might get 5 and another 3 or whatever the split is.

But seeding at the regional tournament is based off the results of the district tournament which is based off regular season district record.

Last year, before the realignment, that was how it worked for us, but it is different this year. No district tournament (I think).
