Something may have been posted about this before, considering the realignment was voted on earlier this year.

but was the point system for all 3 playoff Seedings ever discussed and agreed upon. What about out of state teams? Bonus points, etc. I tried going back through the Board meetings and couldn’t find it
 
Was that changed? Because the website says DIAA has a meeting tomorrow at 9am.

I understand they are two separate committees but wouldn’t they both be in on said meeting?

and if so, whenever said meeting happens, if someone can send the webinar link to it that would be greatly appreciated
 
I believe tomorrow is strictly for public comments, so won’t hear much, if anything, from the board.

Football committee meets tomorrow at 5:30pm….hopefully to discuss playoff points and tournaments.
That is the meat of the agenda. Automatic berths and bonus point criteria are on there. They are also scheduled to talk about tournament sites. It's a bit strange that the football committee is meeting after the DIAA board, so any decisions made by the committee cannot be approved by the DIAA board until mid-August at the earliest. That's basically 2-3 weeks before the season begins.

Join the fun at https://publicmeetings.delaware.gov/#/meeting/69434
 
You’d think they get they would wake up and get this situated. Training camps start in a month

Sheesh…2 and a half hours later……

some key points that was proposed on the meeting for tournaments…(all proposals has to be approved by DIAA)

something new and different is the brackets will no longer “rebracket” so if you’re the 1st seed, you will play the lowest seed but you won’t continue to play the lowest seed through out the playoffs.

teams must play 80% of their games to qualify for the tournament (meaning if the maximum number of games is 10 you must play 8. If it’s 8 games then you must play 7)

Teams will receive 4 points for a win, 2 points for a tie, 0 points for a loss.

1 bonus point for playing a team .500 or greater, add one more bonus point for a team that’s .700 or greater, and add one more bonus point for a team that’s .900 or better.

Playing up a class (1A playing 2A or 2A playing 3A) will receive 2 bonus points win or loss
(Out of state teams will not count in this)

Championship locations and times will be for debate because you can’t have 4 games in one Saturday, it makes for a 12-13 hour day. Location could be UD, DelState, Certain high school stadiums (point of this is trying to save costs…at all costs)

Class 1A will feature 8 playoff teams, with two districts the top 4 teams in each make it.

Class 2A is 12 team format, With 3 Districts, top 4 teams in each qualify. Top 4 overall teams receive a bye

Class 3A is open tournament and top 5 teams receive Bye. Seeds 6-11 will play each other highest vs lowest.

remember, playoffs will no longer rebracket. Almost like how the NBA/March Madness does it.

Would have liked to see two things.
1. 3 points rather than 4 for a win vs lower tier teams.
2. Top point indexes make playoffs regardless of district.
