FHSAA Approves Playoff Series Changes For 1A-4A Teams
January 31, 2018
The Florida High School Athletic Association’s board of directors has unanimously approved a playoff change for 1A-4A high school football, including Northview and Jay High schools.
Six teams will now qualify for state series play from each region in class 1A-4A beginning with the 2018 season.
The first and second seeds will receive a bye to the second round. In the first round, the third seed team will host the sixth seed and the fourth seed will host the fifth seed.
Previously four teams from each region qualify for the playoffs. There was no district play, forcing teams to often play much tougher schedules. This change will allow the top 50 percent of each region to have a real playoff. Allowing the third and fourth seed to teams to host a playoff game will also earn more revenue for those schools.
The bye week before the state championships will eliminated for 1A-4A with the additional of the extra playoff round.
