NEW PLAYOFF FORMAT
The NYSPHSAA has made some dramatic changes to the basketball playoff format that for Long Island, can mean that some years we could have more than one team in the Final Four of a particular classification, and they could potentially play each other in the Championship Game, and in other years, we might not have any semifinalists at all. The big change is that at-large teams have been introduced into the equation, so winning your Section isn't the only route towards a State Championship anymore. The at-large teams will balance off playoff brackets so that there are no byes from the sub-regional level on up. Byes happen when there are an odd number of sections in a particular classification. For example, there are 9 sections that have Class AAA teams, so an at large team is needed to make an even number. Section 11 wins the lottery this season, and will have an at-large team in the playoffs in addition to the Section 11 champion, but which section gets the at large bid will change every year. One thing's for sure - the days of the Long Island Champion going straight to the Final Four are over. Our champions will all have to get past the Sec 1/Sec 9 Champion in the Regional Finals before advancing to the Final Four, and Section 1 has won more State Championships than any other section. Our at-large teams will have a different, perhaps better path. By the way, Section 8 hits the lottery big time this season too, getting at-large teams in both Class A and Class B, even if their champions are eliminated in the Long Island Championship Game. MORE
