: : : : : : As the season winds down with the new playoff system , will there be any at large bids for teams that don’t qualify automatically ?

: : : : : 2 per division

: : : : Is that an average or are two guaranteed per division? In volleyball the higher divisions had more at-large bids

: : : 2 in each division

: : Are we sure it's not 3? I believe it is 3 no?

: Where is this stated? Why is there a hard rule on at large bids if the goal is to have true competitive equity? Why would a team in an outstanding league not get included at higher divisions vs a team in an average one at the lower divisions?

There is nothing stated specifically in the blue book regarding at-large, at all that I saw, other than .500+ record. There were 0-2 at-large bids per division for girls volleyball. I would think you take the total number of automatic qualifiers and looks at where it is relative to a multiple of 32 (minus the open division), and figure it out from there. If you're 11 short of a multiple of 32, then there'll be 11 at-large bids, and I would assume they just start at the highest ranked one's and work their way down. If they have like 2 over the multiple, then there will be 2 byes.

Could it be more complicated than that? Sure, but I don't see why it'd need to be.
