10 SECTION VIII PLAYOFF POLICY The following formula will be used to establish the number of teams that would qualify for the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) post-season play based upon the total number of teams in each classification. The same formula will be used by sports that do not use classifications. The purpose of this is to create an equitable and fair number of teams that make the playoffs for each classification. *1 team - Class Representative for Section VIII to New York State Regional games 2 teams - 2 team bracket **3 or 4 teams - 3 or 4 team brackets 5 8 teams - 4 team bracket 9 12 teams - 6 team bracket teams - 8 team bracket teams - 12 team bracket teams - 16 team bracket teams - 18 team bracket teams - 20 team bracket This would allow for a minimum of 50% of the teams/schools that offer a specific varsity sport to qualify for post season play.

11 State Classification numbers for 2018 to reach 20% per class Classification BEDS # of schools % AA % A % B % C % D 220-below % TOTAL %

12 Match Protocol A. Home team supplies the practice volleyballs for both teams. Minimum of 10 will be needed for each team. If you cannot supply that amount, please phone the opposing school so they can bring their own. B. Provide a proper warm up area. C. The home school is responsible for providing a certified or competent score keeper and a Libero tracker. D. Line judges should be trained and ready for the match. E. Have someone welcome the visiting team upon entry to your "home". F. Show them where the restroom facilities are and give them one-half of the volleyball court. G. Game time is the actual scheduled match play time (as it has always been). Officials will call for captains 15 minutes prior to scheduled game time and begin the formal 12 minute pre-game warm-up. If a team does not arrive in time to accommodate a 20 minute warm-up prior to their formal 12 minute pre-game warm-up, they will receive 10 minutes prior to the formal pre-game warm-up. For the match immediately following (whether it be varsity or JV), the visiting team is entitled to 20 minutes prior to their formal 12 minute pre-game warm-up if they so desire. However, if a team is not there in time for their allotted 20 minutes, they come under the time constraints elaborated above receiving no more than 10 minutes prior to the formal 12 minute pre-game warm-up. H. Coaches MUST report the results to Newsday (631) Cathleen cdnyprowsky@greatneck.k12.ny.us or text (516)
