It seems like a ways away, but the fall sports postseason will be here in the blink of an eye. With the Colorado High School Activities Association streamlining the playoff seeding process, we thought we would take a glimpse at how things are shaping up with volleyball regionals.
Using the Selection and Seeding Index, the qualifying teams were broken into the 12 regions for their specific classifications. Movements were made based on seeding criteria which is to avoid league matchups between top two seeds in each region. Geographical movements were also factored in.
These are regions are not official and only represent a prediction of how they would be seeded if the regular season ended today.
