16 U Split Season Playoff Format: Subject to change pending State Playoff Committee decision.

• 16 U begin playoffs on or about 10/18 with finals to select team advancing to State Championship completed by 11/1.
• Double Elimination Format in 16U playoff games
• There may be two weekends of playoffs. The first weekend (Oct 18-20) will be the finals. If the champion cannot be determined given the format a second weekend (Oct 25-27) will be used.

18 U Tier 2 State Tournament Format:

• Both full & split season teams can participate
• If needed October 18th weekend will be regional play using double elimination format
• October 25th weekend is the MAHA 18 U Tier 2 State Championship. The standard state tournament format will be used.

Eligibility for Playoffs:

• 7 Games for a player in classification and 17 games for a team apply to be eligible for playoffs. This means 17 games in the age classification you are in. So, if you are an 18 U team you will need 17 games against other 18 U teams to qualify for the playoffs. If 16 U, then 17 games vs other 16 U teams.  They can be split season or full season as well as out of state teams, even the Canadian equivalent to your level. (Games against Tier 1 AAA teams do not count toward your game count)
• Credential checks must be done before the playoffs begin by your district. Any requirements that are due by December 31st of each year (i.e., coaching certification) must be completed by the teams that will play at the end of the season
