A.
Conference Tournaments:
a) ALL
TEAMS entered in basketball in each classification 1A -
4A will be distributed into one of four conferences. The
conference tournaments will not include a consolation side.
b) Conferences with eight or more teams will be divided into
two conference tournaments, which will advance two teams
to one of four regional tournaments. Conferences with seven
or fewer teams, will participate in one conference tournament
with four teams advancing to one of four regional tournaments.
c) The SHSAA will appoint a committee consisting of three individuals for the purpose of ranking the top ten teams for all categories, two times a year. The SHSAA will seed all conference and regional tournaments based on seeding forms submitted at the end of the season and post draws on the SHSAA website.
B.
Regional Tournaments:
a) School
Teams entered in basketball must qualify for the regional
tournament by:
1)
winning the conference basketball tournament.
2) placing second at a conference basketball tournament.
3) placing third or fourth in a conference basketball
tournament that has seven or fewer teams in the particular
category.
b)
Four regional tournaments of four teams will be sponsored
in each of the 1A, 2A, 3A and 4A classifications for boys
and girls. Each regional tournament will be seeded according
to the results of each team's season play including the
conference tournament results.
c) For 1A, 2A, 3A and 4A regional basketball, tournaments will consist of
four four-team tournaments (two games Friday and two games Saturday -
10:00am and 12:00pm). Should there be fewer than 16 teams entered into the
playoffs in any category, the SHSAA office will be charged with the task of
creating the playoff structure. The host school must collect a gate.
Profits will be shared between the SHSAA and the host school following the
expensing of the tournament; SHSAA pays for officials.
.
d) Host locations will be determined by the SHSAA office. The following
criteria will be used in assigning Regional Basketball host locations:
i) The top four seeds considered first as potential host sites
ii) Past hosting history of the potential sites will be considered
iii) Availability of officials will be considered
iv) If possible each district will host at least one tournament
e) In order to properly seed the conference and regional
tournaments the SHSAA requires confirmation of season results
from ALL TEAMS ENTERED IN BASKETBALL. Seeding forms will
be available on the SHSAA web site. Seeding will be posted on the web site.
C.
Provincial Tournament:
a) The provincial tournament will be made up of four teams in the 1A,
2A, 3A and 4A categories in both genders. The 5A category will be made up
of eight teams. The finalists will be decided in the following manner:
1) The winner of each of the four regional tournaments will advance to
the provincial tournament (Hoopla). Teams advancing to the Hoopla
tournament will assume their regional seed.
2) The 5A representatives will be selected from the Regina and Saskatoon
teams playing in their respective city championships. The top four teams
from each of these tournaments will advance to the provincial final
tournament. Should a school reclassify to 5A, that team will be scheduled
to play the 4th place team from either Regina or Saskatoon, whichever is
closer to determine the 4th qualifier from that District. If more than one
school wishes to reclassify, all teams will be required to play off for the
right to play the 4th place team from the designated District. The eight
teams advancing to Hoopla will be seeded 1 to 8.
3) The make-up of the preceding tournaments will be the
responsibility of the provincial office.
b) The
provincial tournament in the 1A to 4A category will be a
straight elimination with a consolation side to determine
third place. The 5A category will consist of an 'A' and
'B' side tournament played out except for the 7th place
game.
c) All championships will be held in the same centre over
a three-day period. Each classification, except 5A, will
be required to play only over two consecutive days of the
tournament.
d) The detailed time schedule will be determined by the
provincial office in consultation with the host commissioner.
e) Whenever host facilities allow and in consultation with
the host commissioner and the SHSAA office, a host school
will not have any HOOPLA games scheduled at their home gymnasium.
