1. There is a difference in “district champ” and “number one seed”. District champs are crowned after the second round of the playoffs. Seeds, within your districts, determine the first round matchups.
2. The RPI does stop at the end of the regular season and is used starting in round 3.
3. There is no EAST/West will automatically host in the semis. It goes statewide at that point. 4 overall travels to 1 and 3 goes to 2. Hypothetically, Franklin County could be 2 and if so they would host a semi. The only way you are guaranteed to “host” all the way through the playoffs is if you finish the regular season 1 or 2 in your class.
4. Franklin County is in the West.
5. The most likely Boyle/JC matchup is in the finals. If JC ends up 2/3, which is most likely, they would either host 3 in the semis or travel to 2. The only way, if Boyle remains 1, that they meet before Lexington is if JC would somehow fall to 4 overall then they would travel to Boyle in the semis. That is unlikely, but that is the path for the Boyle and JC matchups.

is there not more than 4 teams left in any given class in round 3? So I am confused about how there would be 4 seeds statewide in a given class.
