Advancement
(Single-elimination tournament)

All teams will be assigned to a Sectional Complex and will be paired on a sectional bracket based upon the coaches' rankings. Games shall be played in bracket order. Seeding shall occur only at the sectional level of competition, and therefore, neither the super-sectional nor the state final shall be seeded.

How Regional Pairings are Determined:

The Sectional Tournament manager shall hold a seeding meeting on Wednesday, April 25, 2007 for Class A and on Wednesday, May 2, 2007 for Class AA. At this meeting, the seeding of all teams shall be accomplished. Pairings for the first round of games of the State Final Tournament(s) will be made by chance drawings.
