The Wisconsin High School football body approves changes in playoff qualification – on3.com

The Wisconsin Athletic Association Council agreed to change the qualification of playoffs for football teams in the high school. The 10-1 decision approved a proposal from the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association to follow an indicator based on victories for playoffy slots.

Prior to the approved change, Wisconsin football teams must win over 50 percent of their playoff qualification conference games. From there, a controversial computer algorithm, which can leave room for dispute and dispute, determines sowing.

The new policy, ratified by 8-3 votes, provides transparency when it devises pairing and regional groups. The so -called football matrix calculations will be available, starting with the upcoming season.

As Jimmy Casca from Civic Media writes, the proposal received strong WFCA support. Brian Kaminski, president of the association, revealed that 400 of the 425 Wisconsin football coaches have meant their support for the WFCA proposal.

The helmet added that the controversy was emerging using the previous system to determine the playophically sowing. One such concern is the Oconomowoc conference champion, which starts the Petar of the Road as six seeds, despite the 8-1 record.

While there are more than 450 Wisconsin football programs in Wisconsin, only 256 enter into the admission. The new guidelines should facilitate the designation of playoff qualifications, even if the teams have adverse conference records.

Before eight divisions of 32 teams made up the national championships from 11 to 11. After the new system was launched, there will be seven divisions of 52 teams, with 32 qualifying for the Administration. The transformation can begin in the 2026-27 season and it is not yet certain whether this will affect conference groups.

In addition to the playoffs, the football teams of the Wisconsin High School can pass a promotion or fall on the basis of the implementation factor of the tournament. They can go to division if they accumulate enough points after the season in the last three seasons. Conversely, the teams can miss a division if they have zero points on the same section.
