2016-17 Basketball Championship Series
February 2, 2017
Below you will find the class 2A-4A basketball play-off pairings.
On Monday, February 6, all schools assigned to each district tournament shall make
composite recommendations on the game officials in the order of their preference. This
can be done by a conference call. The schools may conduct a meeting for the purpose of
the official’s recommendations or a telephone survey of the coaches is permissible. Should
a meeting of the schools involved be held, schedule the start time at 4:00 p.m. or after.
The list of fifteen game officials must be sent electronically to the Activities
Association office immediately following the district meeting. Instructions are
included.
In 3 team districts of class 2A, the district representatives are to rate and seed
two teams on the percentage record of games won and lost, which are to be
placed on the top and bottom of the bracket respectively, by record. The worst
record shall choose either seeded team automatically placing the bye.
IN CLASSES 3A AND 4A, DISTRICT NUMBERS 1, 2, 5, AND 6 WILL PLAY ON SATURDAY
NIGHT. DISTRICT NUMBERS 3, 4, 7 AND 8 WILL PLAY ON FRIDAY NIGHT OF THE
DISTRICT TOURNAMENT WEEK.

REPORTING RESULTS FROM BASKETBALL PLAY-OFF CONTESTS

that point forward into the basketball play-offs, it is mandatory that results from each contest be
entered into the school’s schedule no later than 24 hours after the conclusion of the contest.
Any coach failing to report the score within 24 hours of the conclusion of a contest will initially be
notified in writing of his or her failure to comply by OSSAA Staff. A copy of that correspondence will
be sent to the coaches’ school administrator as well. A second incident of failure to report will result in
the coach being placed on warning for a period on one year. A third and each subsequent failure to
report will result in the suspension of the coach for the next contest.
