CLASSES 6A, 5A, & 4-1A
FALL 2020 ONLY
Based on the challenges associated with COVID-19 and the Risk Mitigation Best Practices of not traveling more than needed outside of a school’s immediate area, the following proposal is being made as a change for boys’ soccer postseason seeding in Classes 6A, 5A and 4-1A.
PROPOSAL: Seed the 36 participating schools in classes 6A, 5A, and 4-1A in geographical clusters of 4-5 schools for regional competition. Once grouped, seed those schools based on their regular season record following the seeding criteria in the 2020-21 KSHSAA Soccer Manual and play single elimination regional tournaments. Each regional winning team will advance to the quarterfinals. To continue risk mitigation best practices and reduce travel, regional winners will
be paired geographically for the quarterfinals:

Region 1 vs. Region 2
Region 3 vs. Region 4,
Region 5 vs. Region 6
Region 7 vs. Region 8.

Postseason contests are played at the higher seed until the semifinals. State semifinals and finals will be conducted at :

Topeka-Hummer Sports Park (6A)

Spring Hill High School (5A)

WichitaStryker Complex (4-1A).

The semifinal teams will be seeded #1-4 based on their current record following the seeding criteria in the 2020-21 KSHSAA Soccer Manual.The postseason schedule remains the same:
October 26-27 (Mon.-Tues.) – Regional Play-In & First Round
October 29 (Thurs.) – Regional Finals
November 3 (Tues.) – Quarterfinals
November 6 (Fri.) – Semifinals
November 7 (Sat.) – Finals (Consolation & Championship)
