The PIAA gave a first-look of what the future state playoff tournaments may look like last week, when the Board of Directors passed a first reading, detailing state qualifiers for classifications, as well new brackets in the six classification sports for the 2016 and 2017 calendar years.

The proposal must pass three readings to become official with the final adoption slated for a meeting on May 25.

Overall, the number of state qualifiers has went up for schools in District 11 with girls and boys basketball seeing the biggest bump in numbers. In girls basketball, 6A will receive four qualifiers, 5A will get one entry, 4A gets two, 3A gets four, while 2A and 1A each receive two spots.

In boys basketball, 6A will now get four spots, 5A will see two, 4A qualifies four, while 3A and 2A each get two. Three teams will qualify from 1A.

Boys and girls soccer has increased to four classes and will see two qualifiers in 4A. All other classes will have one qualifier.

Field hockey will get two qualifiers in 3A and 1A, leaving one spot in 2A.

Baseball and softball will have one qualifier in the first five classes, but get spots in 6A.

Girls volleyball will now have two qualifiers in 4A and only one in the three other classes, while in boys volleyball will now receive two qualifiers in 3A.
