Southeast District Athletic Board Seed Policy and Procedure:
Per the direction of
the Southeast District Athletic Board, all teams in a bracketed tournament will
be seeded using a NCAA bracket. The board will distribute online voting
materials/instructions prior to the online
voting period. There will be no draw meeting held. Each coach will need to submit their team’s bio information by 11:59 PM on Wednesday, January
25 for girls and Wednesday, February 1 for boys. Furthermore, each coach will need to vote and
have his/her ballot submitted by Friday,
January 27 at 11:59 PM for girls and Friday, February 3 at 11:59 PM for boys. Ties will be
broken by highest frequency (total votes at that seed line or higher). If a tie is not breakable a coin-flip will be
conducted by the SEDAB. Seeded
teams will be placed on the NCAA bracket according to their seed.
For
boys and girls basketball, divisions are organized
into a super sectional with all teams in a division being seeded. Teams will be placed on an NCAA paired bracket
according to their voted seed. The
higher seeded team will the host site and home team in all games through the
district semi-finals. District championship
games will be at neutral sites to be determined.
The final tally and voting
breakdown will be available on baumspage and the brackets will be posted at https://www.ohsaa.org/Southeast-Sports-Tournaments/Basketball-Girls
at 3:30 PM on Sunday, January 29 for
girls and at https://www.ohsaa.org/Southeast-Sports-Tournaments/Basketball-Boys

Any school that does not submit their
