I noticed that there were some questions in other posts about home field advantage in the playoffs. I believe that this is how home field advantage would play out under different scenarios (color code at the bottom for teams who control their own home field destiny). I placed the 2A teams in there as if the playoffs were to start today per KHSAA district rankings, so obviously there will be changes, but I thought this would visually clear things up for people (hopefully). I may be wrong but I believe that this is correct. Feel free to critique if there are any mistakes.

This is not correct due to cross bracketing and some other round one match ups.

Never mind about the first round matchups. I looked at the bracket wrong. However I still believe cross bracketing applies this year. Don’t know for sure.

Here is the updated bracket if a MOD is able to move it to the original post. My apologies for missing the cross bracketing.

CAL had to travel last year in the semi-final. Will they or Desales have to travel again? I thought it wa an odd and even number of year that determines home field for semis. How could it be away two years in a row?

Whoever comes out that region will travel to the Somerset district for the semi's.

Something is not right when teams are traveling from the northern most counties to the Ky-Tenn line to play a first round playoff game...

That doesn’t quite seem fair to have to travel two years in a row. I guess that’s a result of cross bracketing. What school is the cross bracketing supposed to benefit?

They should've left everything the way it was last year. It totally changes again next year with the new realignment. It benefit's no one but maybe Walton's district.

Danville had to travel last year for the semis. I guess the cross-bracketing couldn't happen without someone drawing the short straw.

Did Danville travel to semis in 2016?

They did not.
