[KMSFA2]

@eagles2011 - our KMSFA State Playoff System power point presentation is available for anyone to view on our website.

To answer your question in short, 8th grade teams must play a minimum of at least 8 games (but not more than 10) and have a record above .500 to participate in the state playoffs. Head coaches submit a verified roster and schedule online. At the end of the season they submit the results of their season using an online form. From that, our playoff/championship coordinator Jeff Mann seeds them. Teams are given 30 points for defeating a D1 team, 20 for D2, and 10 for D3. Their number of games played are divided into the total points for accumulated for wins during the season and that is their points average. If they are a conference champion, they are given 2 bonus points on top of their points average.

The higher seeded teams get to host games unless a region site is designated. There have also been a few exceptions where a program has a 7th and 8th grade team that by seeding would have to play at 2 seperate sites. In those cases, the coordinator tries to work with the schools involved to accomodate everyone. We have usually worked that out without much issue.
