In addition, an administrator from each participating school must be present for each of their respective games.

The district committee will determine the game site, assign officials, and a game manager for each game of the quarterfinals, semi-finals, and final games.

District IV teams that played 10 or more games with a winning percentage of 50% or more are eligible for the playoffs.

Eligibility / Seeding

District IV teams that played 10 or more games with a winning percentage of 50% or more are eligible for the playoffs.

There are two classes in field hockey for 2022. The power ranking system will seed the top teams in each classification based on winning percentage according to the power rating formula:

  • Highest percentage of points earned under the qualifying point system.
  • If a tie occurs, and teams played each other, head-to-head competition will be used.
  • If a tie still occurs, the team with the best TWWP will be used.
  • If there are teams that did not qualify for playoffs according to the power rating calculation but have a record of .500 or higher, they will be used to fill the bracket.
  • The top 8 teams will automatically qualify for the District 4 "A" tournament.

Please make every attempt to have your games completed by October 21, 2022. If necessary, scores of games that must be played on October 22, 2022, are to be called/text into Justin Simpson by the afternoon of October 22, 2022.
