Who Determines Where a Playoff Game is Played?
#4
From the KHSAA site for the 2008 playoffs. Would assume they would apply to 2009 as well (couldn't find anything on 2009 playoffs on the site). Looks from this that the home team has the say on the site.


The Principal of the host school shall serve as, or shall appoint, a manager for each playoff contest. The home
manager will set the site for the game.
A complete bracket of your Class is constantly updated on the KHSAA web site http://www.khsaa.org/football. Go to
that web site and go to the bracket link throughout the playoffs.
Playoff competition will begin on the Thursday, Friday or Saturday two weeks prior to Thanksgiving Day (November
13, 14 or 15, 2008).
All playoff contests shall be held on Friday unless there exists a mutual agreement between the schools to hold the
game on another day due to field conditions or availability, availability of officials, or in the mutual best interests of
the competing teams.
The game time shall be 7:30 p.m. local time unless the schools have a mutual agreement to play at another time.
The top four teams as determined by intra-district records after all tie breakers have been applied will qualify for the
championship playoffs. The finishing position within the Region shall hereinafter be referred to as the “seeded
position”.
No playoff game shall be scheduled or played on a date or time that requires a loss of school time.
The site of all games during the first four rounds in all classes shall be determined by the designated home team.
The game manager shall notify the KHSAA of the site, date and time of the game not later than 10 a.m. Monday prior
to the game.

Also, found this little section on what both teams have to agree upon. Nowhere does it say anything about the site.

BOTH TEAMS
Review the KHSAA Tournament Rules for football in the tournament rules section of the KHSAA Handbook, or in this
manual. Be familiar with these rules to eliminate disputes.
Confirm game, date and time. NOTE: All games are on Friday night unless by mutual agreement.
Discuss and agree on the following items.
Starting Date and Time;
Admission charges;
Allowable expenses. All expenses must be agreed by the two schools PRIOR to the game or they will not be allowed;
Allocation of reserved tickets;
Special Media Accommodations such as radio and television.
Have a great game!
