If, as a result of this calculation, two or more schools with equal enrollment fall between two classifications, they shall be placed in the lower classification. The next reclassification will occur after the 2002-2003 school year.
All teams qualify provided they submit their entry on time.
The top-four teams in each region will be seeded according to the highest winning percentage. All other teams will be randomly drawn into the remaining bracket locations. Subsequent regional tournament contests will be played at the school site that has had the fewer home games in that year's regional tournament. If both teams have had the same number of home contests, the school with the lower-numbered line position will host the contest.
