The extremely short turnaround time between your District Championship and the Regional Semi-Final creates a few very important timelines. Please access the Regional Tournament Information on our Basketball Tournament Information page (listed above) for necessary Regional/State Tournament forms and information. Many sites will NOT be conduct a Regional Tournament Meeting as some have done in past years this is an effort to help coaches and administrators with their planning and practice plans. These meetings were generally held to provide pre-sale tickets, and other arrangements will be made in most cases. There are a few sites that may choose to still do this and they will provide separate contact information for you. Though all required information is located on the Basketball Tournament Information page, there are several items I have chosen to summarize here. Please provide this information to your Athletic Administrator and vice versa should the Athletic Administrator be the one receiving this. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me via email at jsnodgrass@ohsaa.org. Best of luck as you enter the Sweet 16 and your assistance in helping make this year s tournament a success is appreciated.

NEITHER are deemed as competitive advantages for a school provided it is not the school s home court. This should be understood entering the Regional Tournament as complaints will not be entertained concerning site selection. Regional sites were approved by the Board of Directors. The OHSAA Director was authorized by the Board of Directors to move individual game sites and/or times when it is deemed necessary. Submission of the Tournament Entry Form is an agreement by your school to abide by these conditions.
