Will someone please explain how the playoffs work? Are the districts/regions/semi-states arranged more like basketball or football? Is every game an elimination game? Does a team ever have to win a series to advance? How many teams begin play? Are there limitations on how much a pitcher can pitch? I'll close now and await your responses. Thank you.

In the districts, the teams that win the first game advances to the regionals. then in the regionals, its one and out, then in the simi state its a best of 3 series. I am about 95% sure on that. There might be some districts that are different.

FF is correct. Top two in the district moves on then if you lose in the region, you go home. Semi state is best of 3, then after that I believe it's one and out again all the way to the finals.

That is correct Crossbar. Somewhat like basketball in that more than one goes to the regional tournament.

 

Do the same region winners play each year in semi-state? For instance, LCA played Cov Cath last year in semi-state. Will the 11th region winner play the 9th region winner again this year?
