Two format recommendations for the new Class 5A and 6A football state tournaments were approved today at the monthly meeting

of the IHSAA Executive Committee.

Those provisions included the creation of eight, four‐team sectionals in each class along with a bye week for the two teams

competing in each state championship game during the traditional semi‐state week. Both were unanimously passed by the 16‐

member committee.

The tournament formats and dates for Class A through 4A remain unchanged.

In recent weeks, the IHSAA surveyed the current 70 largest football playing schools and received 67 responses to a pair of choices.

Would the school prefer a tournament structure including eight, four team sectionals or four, eight‐team sectionals? Also would the

school favor a bye week during the first week of the tournament series or during the traditional semi‐state weekend?

The survey results strongly favored the format of eight, four team sectionals with 50 of the 67 respondents (74.6%) preferring that

format.

With regard to the second question, 44 of 67 schools (65.7%) favored the 5A and 6A bye week fall during the traditional semi‐state

week.

The IHSAA Executive Committee approved adding a sixth class to the football state tournament during its June meeting. Class 6A will

consist of the 32 largest schools while the next 32 largest will make up Class 5A. The smaller number of schools in both classes

requires a five‐week tournament series instead of the customary six weeks.

Certified enrollment figures to be used for classifying schools for the 2013‐14 and 2014‐15 school years will be released later this

winter. Sectional assignments will be announced in the spring.Football Tournament Dates
