SEEDED PLAY SCHEDULE
After the first weekend, teams will be assigned a site based on their performance in group play. All of the #1 seeds will qualify for the championship bracket of the tournament. For the remaining 12 teams, the tournament directors will make every effort to create match-ups that avoid teams playing an opponent multiple times during the year (this may not be possible for all teams).
The team listed first will be designated the
home team and should wear white/light jerseys and white/light socks.
The team listed second will be designated
the visiting team and should wear dark jerseys and dark socks.

follow the IHSA State series procedures for overtime (at most, two 10 minute
sudden victory periods before the shoot-out). These games will all end
with a winner and a loser. All of the games on April 27 & 28, other
than the championship bracket, will be official if the game is tied at the end
of regulation (no shootout will take place).
If any of the championship bracket
games are tied at the end of regulation, we
