bracket IAA

Ok, we just got this from the CIF, so we know it's official. * indicates the Home team; # indicates the seed within the regional bracket. We'll try to keep filling this in as results become available during the playoffs. There are some notes from the CIF Committee responsible for these brackets, which should be carefully read before relying upon them as final (see below), especially before you drive across town to go see one of these games. Just as we've been telling you all year, if you rely on these before calling the school or checking other sources (such as a newspaper the day of the event) you do so at your own risk. Note also that there is a wild card team which No. 1 ranked Artesia will get to play. Overall in the Division I-AA bracket, the No. 1 Seed was Artesia; No. 2 Long Beach Poly; No. 3. Etiwanda; and No. 4 Simi Valley. Each of these top four seeds has been placed into a "region" with other teams. Artesia is, as you can see, in Region I, Poly in Region II, and so on. Note that the Wild Card Game is played before the first round, on Wednesday, 2/18.

And here's the standard print at the bottom of each bracket directly from the CIF:

We've left off the rest of the announcement because it's really only intended for the teams to call in their scores and for the media, but you get the idea. This draw sheet can be changed anytime the CIF wants to prior to the start of the games, but chances are, other than a change in time for a game, you won't see these change very much at all. Again, please, please, please, check your local paper, and/or call a school before you make a trip for a game, because it might be rescheduled, and we can't be responsible if you make a long drive. If you do without first checking, don't come crying to us about it. We told you so.
