How this region is seeded
Seeds come from Heal points. A Class D South team earns 40 points for a win over a Class A team, 38 over Class B, 36 over Class C, 34 over Class D and 32 over Class S, divided by games on its schedule. The tournament index then rewards wins over teams that win a lot themselves. See the full method with a worked example.
Class D schools have 100 to 224 (the MPA's enrollment band for the 2025-27 cycle). Countable games run Thu Dec 3, 2026 through Thu Feb 4, 2027; the preliminary round is Feb 9-10, 2027, regional games Feb 12-20, 2027, and state finals Feb 26-27, 2027.
