PLAYOFF PAIRING FORMAT
The CIF-SS Volleyball Commissioner and the Volleyball Advisory Committee, has made an
effort to update, clarify and enhance the overall presentation of the CIF-SS Ford Boys Volleyball
Championships, new language for the construction of playoff brackets has been adopted. SEEDS
- The initial step is to designate four teams in rank order as seeds, with No. 1, 2, 3, and 4 placed
in the designated draw position in each quarter of the bracket (see diagram 1). Now, designate
the next four teams in rank order as seeds, with No. 5, 6, 7, and 8 being placed in each quarter of
the designated bracket (see diagram 1). Next, the teams designated as seeds No. 9, 10, 11, and 12
will be placed in each quarter of the designated bracket (see diagram 1). The last four teams in
rank order designated as No. 13, 14, 15, and 16 will now be placed in each quarter of the
designated bracket (see diagram 1).
14ADJUSTMENTS
Adjustments to this procedure would be made if the seeds in the same half/quarter of the bracket
were from the same league. If this occurs, using the example of the top half of the bracket, should
the No. 1 and 4 seeds be from the same league, No. 4 would become the No. 3 seed and the No. 3
seed would fill the No. 4 designated position.
Another adjustment may become necessary to ensure that the No. 1 and 2 entries from the same
league are placed in opposite halves of the overall bracket.
Note: Throughout this process, a league No. 2 entry may not be seeded higher than the No. 1 entry
from the same league, nor may a No. 3 league entry be seeded higher than the No. 2 entry from
the same league. If there are First Round byes available in playoff brackets, those byes will be
awarded to League Champions first, regardless of the overall seeding for that particular bracket. If
all of the League Champions in that particular bracket have been awarded a bye, and there are still
additional byes available, 2nd place teams will have priority to receive them.
FILLING THE DRAW
The next step is to begin completing the draw by placing any remaining No. 2 league entries in the
opposite half of the bracket from the No. 1 entries from the same league. The final step to complete
the draw is to place the remaining No. 3 entries (along with any No. 4 entries, At-Large and/or
Freelance teams) from each of the respective leagues in the remaining open slots, attempting to
place each in one of the remaining “quarters” of the bracket where the league is not represented.
This process eliminates the aspect of schools from the same league meeting in the second round
of competition (Exception: if the overall bracket holds less than 32 teams, it is possible for two
teams from the same league to meet in the second round).
LEAGUE CHANGE OF ENTRY
Once the draw sheet has been finalized by the CIF Southern Section Office and then notification
is received that a league has made a mistake in submitting the proper entries in order of priority,
this Office will exchange positions of the schools involved in the bracket from that league.
Each league is entitled to two (2) entries with a four-team league, three (3) entries with a five or
six team league, four (4) entries with a seven or eight team league and five (5) entries with a nine
or more team League
END OF COMPETITION
All league competition for entries must end on or before the Thursday (girls) and Wednesday
(boys) prior to the first playoff date. For girls’ teams October 11 and for boys’ teams April 24.
Schools may compete until Saturday in non‐league contests. For the girls’ teams October 13 and
for boys’ teams April 27. Any contest(s) played after the completion of league play and/or
submission of league entries will not impact the seeding or ranking of a team or teams that were
involved in those events.

DETERMINATION OF SITES / EQUAL FACILITIES
To decide who shall be the host team AFTER the first round of competition will be the sole
responsibility of the Commissioner. In cases where two teams are paired after the first round of
the playoffs, the team having the fewest number of host games in playoff competition shall be
designated as the host team. When both teams have had an equal number of host playoff contests,
the Commissioner shall toss a coin to decide the host team. When a school has been designated as
the host school for a playoff contest it shall (1) act in that capacity unless excused by the
Commissioner, and (2) be considered the host team regardless of where the game is being played.
SPECIAL NOTE: Teams receiving a bye in the first round shall automatically be the host team
in the next round of the playoffs.
The designation of "host" does not guarantee the game will be played at the host school's facility.
It does designate the responsibility for management of the contest which includes suggesting a site
that will handle the anticipated crowd. A host school may use its home site facility if it can safely
provide for the anticipated crowd.
The host school is charged with the responsibility of securing an adequate gymnasium for the
holding of a volleyball playoff contest. It is recommended that where available and when
approved, playoff games shall be played in rent-free high school gymnasiums, but in cases where
it is necessary to pay a rental fee for an outside gymnasium; such an arrangement must be approved
by the Commissioner prior to the contest. Although it is necessary that one team be designated as
the host team, it shall be kept in mind that the game belongs to both competing schools, and facility
seating must be split equally. A pre-game planning meeting may be conducted to plan all
details connected with the staging of every playoff contest.
Competing schools are reminded that CIF Southern Section playoff volleyball games, while they
may be played at one school, are under the control of the CIF-SS. Both competing schools in any
one game are given equal consideration in regard to seating. If, in the Commissioner's opinion, the
host team gym is not large enough to accommodate the anticipated crowd, the host team will be
required to reserve one-half of the gym's capacity for the visiting school's rooters.
*The CIF - Southern Section Division 6 Championships will take place on Saturday, May 11, 2019
@ 6:00pm. One team will be designated as the “Home” team and will be responsible for securing
a site for the Section Championship. A host school may use its home site facility if it can safely
provide for the anticipated crowd. A date and or time change may be adjusted if the two opponents
can mutually agree on the adjustment and upon approval from the CIF-SS office.
In addition, selected divisions will be played at Cerritos College on Saturday, May 11, 2019 OR a
designated “Home” site. The determination of which divisions will be played at Cerritos College
will be made after the semi-final round on Wednesday, May 8, 2019. The Division 1 Southern
Section Boys’ Volleyball Championship will be played at Cerritos College on Saturday, May 11,
2019.
18PRE-GAME ARRANGEMENTS
The host school is responsible for:
1) Securing an adequate court for use in all playoff games which meets the
regulations as outlined in the National Federation Rules Book.
2) Contacting the visiting school prior to game day to establish any necessary ground
rules should the court or equipment not be within specified standards.
3) Game Ball - It is the responsibility of the host school to inform the visiting
schools prior to game day of the model of volleyball available for use in the
playoff game. (Spalding TF-VB5, TF-VB3)
4) Providing information to the visitors regarding directions to the school, locker
room arrangements, visitor parking, anticipated crowds, or any special court
conditions.
5) Ticket Procedure for both Home and Visiting school. The CIF-SS Office is not
presently equipped to survey all sites in use during the coming post season
competition. Therefore, we depend upon the good judgment of the host school
management to notify this Office and all opponents if a given site does not meet
minimum standards as outlined in the National Federation Rules Book.
ELIGIBILITY LISTS
The eligibility list is your updated and complete roster which is submitted to Cifsshome.org
PRIOR to your first playoff contest and will suffice for all remaining volleyball playoff contests.
SQUAD SIZE
There is no restriction on the number of players on each squad; however, the CIF-SS will only
provide awards up to 18 per team. There is a seat limit at the Championship Finals and all
overflow players/coaches/trainer/stats personnel will be seated behind the team bench area if
possible or in the bleachers off the court.
GAMES OFFICIALS
Officials for all playoff matches will be coordinated through your local assignor and confirmed
with the CIF-Southern Section. Out of area Officials will be assigned staring in the Semi-Final
round. Schools will be notified of the names of officials assigned to their games. In all matches
leading to the championship finals, First Referee shall receive $85 and Second Referee $79.
MILEAGE
When officials travel significant distances to officiate a playoff game, meals and mileage may also
be authorized.
LINE JUDGES
It is recommended that schools hire officials or use adults and not students to act as line persons
during the wild card, first and second round games. If officials are not hired the visiting school
should have the opportunity to provide one of the line persons. Two-line persons will be
automatically assigned to all quarterfinal and semifinal contests. The line persons shall receive
$42 each.

sticks, musical instruments other than those in the band, etc.) will be permitted inside the
gymnasium at any CIF Southern Section Volleyball Game (non-league, league, tournaments, or
playoff). Megaphones may only be used by the school’s uniformed cheer squads.
2. Cheering devices such as rally towels, pompoms and pennants are acceptable when used
within the bounds of good sportsmanship.
3. Face painting is acceptable from the NECK UP ONLY and shall not include any inappropriate
letters or symbols. Assigned school staff shall monitor their cheering sections at all times.
4. It is the expectation that cheering section behavior will be monitored by the assigned school
staff of the school that they represent. All improper behavior/language should be addressed
and corrected immediately by school staff supervisors.
5. Rules are subject to specific events and or venue limitations.
PEP BANDS, CHEERING SQUADS
If the host school has a band of not more than 12 members capable of contributing to the
entertainment, there is no objection to having it play before games and during intermissions.
Under no circumstances may the band instruments be used for cheering purposes. Electronic
amplification is prohibited.
Even though additional members of the band purchase tickets, not more than 12 members may
comprise the pep band. Because many of gymnasiums have poor acoustics, it has been necessary
to limit the number of players in a pep band. The noise generated by a large band in a gym with
poor acoustics is detrimental to the match and possibly distracting to players.
No band other than the one from the host school shall be admitted as an organization except by
special permission of the Commissioner, who will act upon petition by the principal of the host
school. Under no circumstances may more than 12 members comprise a pep band.
Members of an authorized pep band, cheer and song leaders from both competing schools shall be
admitted free of charge if in uniform and accompanied by an adult supervisor.
29POSTERS AND BANNERS
Posters and banners are an excellent way of creating good sportsmanship between competing
schools. Only those posters and banners exhibiting this concept will be permitted. Schools that
hang banners are responsible for removing them as the end of the match.
PROTESTS
BY ACTION OF THE CIF-SS COUNCIL, PROTESTS OF PLAYOFF CONTESTS
INVOLVING NATIONAL FEDERATION RULES WILL NO LONGER BE
ENTERTAINED FOLLOWING THE CONCLUSION OF THE CONTEST.
Coaches may direct questions to the game officials as they pertain to a possible misapplication of
the rules in accordance with the National Federation rules governing that sport. No protest may be
carried forth once the contest is completed.
Coaches are encouraged to carry National Federation rule books with them for all playoff contests.
Schools may have the opportunity to protest a contest in accordance with Southern Section rules,
Rule 1111, as it pertains to use of ineligible player or violations of any CIF-SS rule in accordance
with the contest.
TICKETS
For games under the direct control of the Commissioner's Office, tickets will be issued to
competing schools in accordance with their request. See Ticket Procedure page 24-25.
30FINANCIAL REGULATIONS
RESPONSIBILITY
The principal of each school participating in the CIF Southern Section Volleyball Playoffs shall be
responsible to see that prescribed procedures pertaining to playoff regulations, as outlined in this
section, are followed. If the principal so desires, this responsibility may be delegated to a member
of his staff.
FINANCIAL REPORT
The CIF-SS Executive Committee has required that the host school charge admission to
Boys Volleyball Playoff contest. (See financial policy Article 1, Section 143-145, CIF-SS
Blue Book, page 57). All information can be found on the CIF-SS website at www.cifss.org.
Financial forms shall be submitted via www.cifsshome.org. Any reports submitted via e-mail
or U.S. Mail will be returned to the submitting school as submission via the link above is
mandatory. Checks and unused tickets are the only items that should be physically mailed to
CIF-SS.
All Playoff costs exceeding $350 must have CIF-SS pre-approval.
SPECIAL NOTE:
Financial reports MUST be submitted within TEN DAYS after the contest.
TRAVEL EXPENSE STATEMENT
The visiting school will pay its own traveling expenses and submit a statement of these
expenses, after the game (within three days), via www.cifsshome.org. These expenses would
include mileage for transportation and lodging and/or meals where approved by CIF-SS Office.
Traveling expenses of the visiting team are considered part of the game expenses.
31ALLOWABLE TRAVEL EXPENSE
The CIF-SS Executive Committee has set the allowable travel expense as it pertains to
volleyball.
Traveling squads shall be limited to a maximum of 18 in the party, including players, coaches,
manager, and administrators. Schools may take additional personnel if they wish, but at their
own expense. A maximum of $1.50 per mile round trip will be approved for either chartered or
school bus transportation. The maximum allowance for private automobile transportation (limit
of three cars) would be $0.50 per mile, per car, round trip. Distance obtained from Map Quest,
Google Maps or Yahoo Maps shall be used, when available, for computing expense.
It is the intent to encourage schools to utilize private automobile transportation when possible to
keep the travel allowance at a minimum and possible financial loss to schools involved. Please
pass this information along to the person on your campus charged with completing the financial
report form.
MEALS AND LODGING
No allowance will be permitted for meals or lodging without prior approval of the CIF-SS
Office. Approval to travel will only be accepted via e-mail. Please send to Erin Courtemarche,
erinc@cifss.org. This pre-approval is necessary to insure uniform expenditures for all schools.
Where approved, maximums are $3.00 for breakfast, $5.00 for lunch, $8.00 for dinner for a party
of 18. The number of meals allowed a school will be determined by the CIF-SS Office based on
distance traveled and the scheduled time of the game. No meals will be authorized when the
travel distance is less than 140 miles round trip. Where lodging is authorized, the maximum shall
be $10.00 per person for a group of not more than 18.
No lodging will be permitted unless the distance is over 550 miles round trip.
TELEPHONE CALLS
Telephone calls will not be listed as game expense. Both competing schools and the CIF-SS
Office will pay for all calls from their share of the game receipts.
CONCESSIONS
Where concessions and programs are involved in a playoff contest, the profit or loss from
such enterprises shall not be included in the financial report. The host school reserves the
right to handle the program and concessions as a separate venture and need not share the profit
nor expect the CIF-SS or the visiting school to share in any loss.
32GAME PERSONNEL
The host management is responsible for staffing the gymnasium with the personnel necessary to
conduct the contest. It would be expected that the same pay schedule followed for league
contests would be used to reimburse ticket sellers, ticket takers, police, physician, and custodial
help. In determining the pay scale for working personnel in playoff games, schools are reminded
that it should be computed based on one contest.
In playoff contests, payment to faculty personnel to supervise a rooting section is not an
allowable expense and may not be charged to game expense. It is realized that some schools pay
faculty persons to supervise rooting sections in league contests, but because this is not the policy
in many schools, the Executive Committee has ruled that if a school (host or visitor) desires to
pay such personnel, it shall do so out of its share of the net receipts and not charge the cost to
game expense.
There is a wide disparity of staffing policies for athletic contests among schools in the Southern
Section. Because of this, schools in the playoffs are asked to assign the minimum number of
personnel necessary to assure efficiency and safety.
GATE PROCEDURES
All schools hosting playoff games should make certain that gate personnel handling tickets
are advised of the following procedures.
1. All tickets presented for admission are to be torn in half to prevent further use.
2. All tickets are to be checked for appropriate color. This is to prevent someone from
entering with a ticket designated for another game or with a ticket that was used for the
previous playoff round. This also prevents an adult from entering with a student ticket, a
student with a child's ticket, etc.
3. All ticket-takers and gate personnel should familiarize themselves with the CIF-SS Press
Pass, CIF-SS Photo Pass, and CIF-SS Courtesy Card.
4. All ticket-takers and gate personnel will be provided a CIF-SS Courtesy Card Void List
sent prior to playoffs via email to the Athletic Directors to check for any invalid cards.
Please instruct them to confiscate any voided cards and return them to the CIF Southern
Section office.
33ADMISSION OF WORKING FACULTY PERSONNEL
BOTH SCHOOLS: Only those regular faculty personnel from the competing schools who have
been assigned definite supervisory responsibilities for the playoff game will be admitted free of
charge. No other administrators, counselors, faculty or staff members will be admitted without a
complimentary or general admission ticket.
HOST SCHOOL: The host school shall submit its designated number of working faculty
personnel (i.e., supervisors for reserved seat areas or rooting sections, and other related
assignments) as part of the Game Management Form which is required by the CIF-SS Office
prior to each scheduled playoff game.
VISITING SCHOOL: The visiting school shall submit its list of working faculty personnel
(i.e., supervisors for rooters' buses and rooting sections) directly to the host school prior to the
date of the game.
COMPLIMENTARY TICKETS
Each school participating in the CIF Southern Section Volleyball Playoffs will receive an
allotment of 10 general admission tickets for each match in which they compete.
If additional tickets are desired, they must be purchased at the prevailing rate by the school.
Drivers of team and rooter buses must be provided with tickets by the school; they will not be
admitted without a ticket. These tickets are also to be used for scouting purposes.
COURTESY CARDS AND PASSES
CIF-Southern Section Courtesy Cards will be honored for all volleyball playoff contests,
INCLUDING THE CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS. Courtesy Cards will be checked at the gate.
Courtesy cards from other sections and officials' association passes are not valid for admission at
any CIF Southern Section playoff contest.
CIF-SS press and photographer's credentials (see Media Section) issued by the Commissioner's
Office, the State CIF Courtesy Card, and the State CIF Life Pass are the only credentials to be
honored for admission to volleyball playoff contests.
NO SCHOOL, LEAGUE, DISTRICT, OR LOCAL NEWSPAPER PASSES WILL BE
ACCEPTED FOR ADMISSION TO PLAYOFF GAMES REGARDLESS OF LEAGUE
POLICIES GOVERNING THIS MATTER.
3435
TICKET SALES
Ticket sales for all games, except those under the direct management of the Commissioner’s
Office, will be controlled by the competing schools, with the school designated as the host school
responsible for ticket accounting for the game. ALL UNUSED TICKETS MUST BE
RETURNED TO THE CIF-SS OFFICE.
The CIF-SS Office will provide pre-sale and ticket supplies. See pages 24-25.
Tickets for each host school will not be provided by the CIF-SS Office unless specifically
requested. Drivers of team and rooter buses must be provided with tickets by the school. They
will not be admitted without a ticket.
PRE-GAME SALES AT VISITING SCHOOL
Each visiting school will be provided, upon request to the CIF-SS Office, with student tickets.
NO TICKETS WILL BE ISSUED TO A SCHOOL AUTOMATICALLY – THEY MUST
BE REQUESTED. General admission tickets for sale may be secured upon request. Although
these tickets will be issued to the visiting school directly from the CIF-SS Office, the accounting
of these tickets will be made to the host school.
As soon as possible (preferably the night of the game) the visiting school should send the
following items to the financial manager of the host school:
1) All unsold tickets
2) Complete report for all advance ticket sales vis www.ciffinancialreports.org
3) Check of the total amount of the ticket sales
4) Statement of travel expenses, including mileage for transportation and lodging and/or meals
where approved.
We suggest that the visiting school return all unsold adult tickets to the host school, prior to
the contest to ensure that there are ample tickets available at the gate.
STUDENT TICKETS
For games in all divisions, students from the competing schools will have an opportunity to
purchase a STUDET TICKET food for admission. To get the discounted student price, please
encourage our student to either carry or have a picture of their ID’s on their cellular device.
