BASKETBALL
Proposal #1: AA Mercy Rule
 Class AA: The mercy rule shall be used for all regular season, region and SoDak 16 contest. When the point
differential reaches 30 or more points in the second half, the clock will continue to run. The clock will only be
stopped for free throws and time-outs. Regular timing rules will be used if the score differential drops back to less
than 20 points.
Rationale: Aligns all classifications using the same rule. Also, many felt not much is being learned when games get so
far out of reach and potential sportsmanship issues become more prominent.
_____YES        _____NO
Proposal #2: Out- of-state opponents
Out-of-State Opponents: Seed point averages for out-of-state opponents will be calculated to include all contests
(regular or postseason) through the South Dakota cutoff date.

Rationale: Growing concern to seek out of state opponents records as there is not a standard place to get this
information at this time for out of state opponents (111 out of state opponents this year). What takes the most time is
determining if these states are in post season play or not, so if we count all game up to the cutoff date, that makes it more
bearable in the check system we do to ensure that records are correct.
_____YES       _____NO

Proposal #3: Final cutoff date for regular season

No regular season contests shall be played after the cutoff date set by the SDHSAA.

Rationale: Contests that are played after the date become exhibition contests or scrimmage contests as they cannot be
used for seed point. This committee feels that the cutoff date is cutoff date and no regular season contests should be
played after the cutoff date. Region chairs need to have that information so they can get Region pairing and brackets set
for the Region play.

_____YES      _____NO
Discussion Items:
   1. Coach/Officials Evaluations
   2. Expanding the post season for AA AD’s- presently 3 boys and 3 girls teams do not make the playoffs. Is that the
       way we want to continue?

SIDELINE CHEER
PROPOSAL#1: Number of sideline cheerleaders

Change the number of sideline cheerleaders to 8 PLUS the mascot. The mascot will not be counted in the 8
cheerleaders for the squad limits.

Rationale: The mascot generally is not involved in the groups and helps with stunting to have the number be 8 instead
of 7.
       _____YES        _____NO
COMPETITIVE CHEER
Proposal #1: Warm-up time
To have a five (5) minute maximum time limit for warm-up on the competitive floor for each team, with the option
for host schools to schedule the time or not.
Rationale: Teams seem to be taking more than that to warm up and the committee felt we need to specify the time
frame in which they can be on the competitive floor. Have someone in the gym to time each team as they enter the
floor with a max of 5 minutes.
_____YES       _____NO
Proposal #2: Tweak Pyramid category language
Tweak in the Pyramid category in the 5 point difficulty to say three two advanced entries or release transitions.

Rationale: There needs to be a tweak in the Pyramid category in the 5 point difficulty to say three advanced entries or
release transitions instead of two. Two is listed in the 4 point category and was confusing to judges and coaches.

_____YES      _____NO
Discussion Items:
   1. Coach’s education requirements need to be completed BEFORE coaches start coaching the season.
   2. Changing facilities for male competitors, making sure we have adequate facilities during the competition and
       trying not to share with other male sports participants

COMPETITIVE DANCE
Proposal #1: Tumbling language change
SD Rules book changes to say the following tumbling skills will be allowed: cartwheels, round offs, aerials (front and
side with bent or straight legs), front and back handsprings as long as the feet or hands land first. Any flipping
movement that takes off or lands on two feet are illegal with the exception of round offs, front and back
handsprings. Front and back tucks are illegal. Tumbling passes that connect different or same skills remain illegal.
Rationale: Committee felt we needed to address which tumbling skills are legal and which skills are illegal on the
rubric. The Webster was removed.
_____YES        _____NO
Discussion Items:
    1. Color of floor tape be a bright NEON color, something other than white that is easily recognizable.
    2. Changing facilities for male competitors, making sure we have adequate facilities during the competition and
        trying not to share with other male sports participants.
    3. Coach’s education requirements need to be completed BEFORE coaches start coaching the season.

FOOTBALL
Proposal #1:
No formal proposals for consideration
Discussion Items :
   1. Extend the coaches box down to the 15-yard line. The NFHS will be changing to this in 2022. They will allow
       state associations to come up with the yard line that will be enforced in each state.
   2. AAA – Playing more games on week 0 with out of state opponents
   3. Tie breaker and seeding procedure sent to all schools from SDHSAA
   4. Continued success of All-Nations Conference
   5. Continue to Retain, Recruit Football Officials
   6. Games will need to be played again on Thursdays, Friday’s and Saturday’s
   7. Riding time for officials was discussed
   8. 11AA Seed Points -Discussion on seed points for 11AA due to disparity in strength of schedule amongst schools.
GOLF
Proposal #1: To Change the wording on the “Coaching on Course” Rule for all classes.
The Coaches would be able to coach their players anywhere, except on the greens. This would include the teeing
area, and those areas already allowable, and be allowed to coach players until all players are physically on the
putting green.
Rationale: –The coaches feel that this would help with pace of play and the student athlete experience.
_____YES         _____NO
Proposal #2: Clarification on permittable electronic devices.
Rationale: The coaches believe with the ever-evolving technology, that Bluetooth headphones/earbuds be added to the
list of prohibited devices while in competition. These devices are fine while prepping for any event, they should not be
allowed during play.
_____YES         _____NO
Proposal #3 Change to 60% from 50% for state qualifying field
Rationale: The coaches feel that competitive golfers are not making it to the state tournament. This Fall was the 1st year
of the 50% rule.
_____YES         _____NO
Proposal #3: If the 60% change does not get passed then they would like to go with the 50% and the
Redistribution of Athletes to Participate at the State Tournament due to schools not filling their original quota for
Region Tournament Participation.
Rationale: First, the SDHSAA already welcomes 37 Teams (Boys & Girls), to participate in their regions which if full,
their numbers equate to a total of 185 players throughout the state. The current rate for qualifying for state is at 50%,
with means the SDHSAA has already agreed to have 93 players at a Class A state meet. For various reasons, many
schools are not fielding full teams. Compounding this issue, participation is not as cyclically valued per region.
Therefore, the actual qualification totals are grossly unequal in both eligibility and quality. Again, it is not fault, nor
alignment, nor value. It just is, what it is. The need is paramount. Currently, year after year, schools are leaving home
players who shoot under bogey because our state tournament is not a full field. So, to ensure fairness for those players
worthy of participating in any state tournament, and not affecting realignment, not affecting current region participation,
and not taking away any player from qualifying for a state tournament under the current guidelines, we would like to
propose a redistribution method, not to exceed an already welcomed field of approximately 93 players at a state
tournament.
_____YES         _____NO

Proposal #4: Allow for coaches’ discretion on placement of players in Day 1 only of the State Tournament for
Class AA
Rationale: The AA Coaches believe with only meets with greater than 4 teams used that players averages, there are
additional smaller events that move those players in their respective teams. Thus, the coach should have the discretion to
align his/her players as they choose as long as they are eligible for the competition.

_____YES      _____NO
Discussion Items: Golf
   1. Allow the SDHSAA to arrange practice round times for the state tournament.
   2. Super Regionals for Class A & B
   3. Allow AA Coaches to set line-ups for first day of Sate Tournament
GYMNASTICS
Proposal #1: Consistent warm-ups for meets
The committee is proposing warmups for meets be run in one of two way:
   1. Traditional Warmup- the usual way that things were done prior to covid. Teams come and warmup a couple
      of hours before the meet starts going through their rotations and then compete based on the rotation
      assigned by the site host.
   2. Modified Capital Cup format: This is the warmup that should take place at all region/state qualifying meets.
      Gyms will open for stretching, and shared warmup on each event. Teams will have to rotate and share
      equipment for warmup in allotted time. One hour warmup time. Once competition begins, teams will have a
      5 minute TEAM warmup on each event regardless of the number of athletes participating. Then each athlete
      will have a 1 ½ minute touch warmup prior to competing. Vault will use the same time for touch warmup.

Rationale: Coaches felt these was lack of consistency with warm-ups throughout the season and they wanted a similar
format for all meets. Basically, these are the two warm-up formats that need to be used throughout the season and the
host site will decide. For the Region/State Qualifying meet, everyone will use the Modified Capital Cup format. That
way all warm-ups are the same at the Region/State Qualifying meets.
_____YES        _____NO
Proposal #2: Qualifying Scores
Adjust the state qualifying scores as follows: Class A: Vault - 8.7 and Floor – 8.8 and Class AA: Beam – 8.9 and Floor
– 9.2
Rationale: Based on the number of in-season qualifiers we had in these events this past year, the committee looked at
the 5 year average of scores and made the following adjustments.
_____YES        _____NO
Discussion Items:
    1. Meet etiquette prior to the meet being completed.

SOCCER
Proposal #1: State Tournament Schedule Rotation
The committee proposed rotating the schedule each year so each class and gender will play their State
Championship game at a different time depending on the year.
State Tournament Schedule Rotation
2022
       Boys Class AA (11:00am)
       Girls Class AA (1:00pm)
       Boys Class A (5:00pm)
       Girls Class A (7:00pm)
2023
       Girls Class A (11:00am)
       Boys Class A (1:00pm)
       Girls Class AA (5:00pm)
       Boys Class AA (7:00pm)
2024
       Girls Class AA (11:00am)
       Boys Class AA (1:00pm)
       Girls Class A (5:00pm)
       Boys Class A (7:00pm)
Rationale: Based on what we do in other sports and not knowing the weather situation that can come up the
committee felt it was appropriate to rotate the championship times and schedule every year.
_____YES      _____NO
Discussion Items: Soccer
   1. How do we balance the classifications.
   2. Salary and riding time for officials was discussed
   3. SDHSAA will send out reminders that officials need to leave immediately after game is over much like other
       sports do when they conclude. They should not stay for the handshakes and converse like club soccer.

TENNIS
Proposal #1: Change match format
Change the match format of the State Tournament to play 2/3 sets with a match tie break in lieu of the final set for
all championship round matches.

Rationale: This creates consistency with what most do all year long. The committee agreed that since we do not play
2/3 full sets all year long, it is hard to justify 2/3 full sets at the biggest event of the year and playing semi’s and finals in
both singles and doubles, is hard for the kids to endure.
_____YES         _____NO
Discussion Items: Tennis
   1. Should doubles matches be counted regardless of who plays in the match? Everyone understands the concern,
        but don’t want to hurt the wrong people.
   2. Line-up changes and implications when this happens. When coaches change their line up at the end of the
        season, if affect several athletes’ seed points. We do have rule in place that says you must play in the flight in
        which you played the majority of your matches throughout the season.
   3. Coach’s education requirements need to be completed BEFORE coaches start coaching the season.

TRACK & FIELD/CROSS COUNTRY
Proposal #1: Final Meet of the season

The final meet of the season shall be no later than Friday of week 46 with state entries due to SDHSAA by noon
on Saturday.

Rationale: Entries need to be to the SDHSAA by Saturday to help with seeding of state track meet.
_____YES      _____NO

Proposal #2: AA only – All state qualifying track meets must be run with F.A.T timing starting with the 22- 23
school year.

Rational: help to ensure top 24 qualifiers are qualifying all the same way. No longer want hand held times at qualifying
meets.
_____YES       _____NO
Discussion Items: Track
    1. State Track Schedule, 4X800 and eliminating the Boys and Girls 100 Semi-finals was approved for this year’s
       state track meet by the Board of Directors
    2. F.A.T Timing systems for Qualifying regular season track meets. Making it required.
    3. Athletic.net – Continue to use.
    4. State Track Schedule for 2023 look at adjusting the hurdles in the schedule
VOLLEYBALL
Proposal #1: Out-of-state opponents cut date
Out-of-State Opponents: Seed point averages for out-of-state opponents will be calculated to include all contests
(regular or postseason) through the South Dakota cutoff date.

Rationale: Growing concern to seek out of state opponents records as there is not a standard place to get this
information at this time for out of state opponents (111 out of state opponents this year). What takes the most time is
determining if these states are in post season play or not, so if we count all game up to the cutoff date, that makes it more
bearable in the check system we do to ensure that records are correct.
_____YES       _____NO
Proposal #2: Cut date final date to play
No regular season contests may be played after the cutoff date set by the SDHSAA.

Rationale: Contests that are played after the date become exhibition contests or scrimmage contests as they cannot be
used for seed point. PLUS it falls into the All State Chorus and Orchestra time frame as to when ASCO groups are
traveling to their State event. This committee feels that the cutoff date is cutoff date and no regular season contests
should be played after the cutoff date. Region chairs need to have that information so they can get Region pairing and
brackets set for the Region play.
_____YES        _____NO
Discussion Items:
    1. Line judges will not switch sides during the match. Line judges remain on the same side.
    2. Going to higher seed in VB for SoDak sites and pay mileage to the traveling team like we do in football.
    3. Riding allowance for officials who have to leave work early to make the contest and travel a great distance.
    4. Coaches education requirements need to be completed BEFORE coaches start coaching the season.

WRESTLING
Proposal #1: TrackWrestling Training
To make it mandatory to have TrackWrestling training for head wrestling coaches. This will be similar to the
online rules meeting that needs to be completed. If this is not completed by the deadline set by the SDHSAA a fine
will be assessed of $50 to the school.
Rationale: Coaches are not properly entering or updating results, which creates issues at Region seeding time. The lack
of understanding is creating a negative perception of the process that should not be an issue. School will be required to
keep their TrackWrestling up to date throughout the season.
_____YES       _____NO
Proposal #2: Deviation from NFHS rule on out of bounds ruling for high school.
This is to deviate with the NFHS on the out of bounds rules. We would follow the college rule as it pertains to
what constitutes the wrestlers being out of bounds. Simply put if any point of the wrestler is in the circle they are
still in bounds.
Rationale: Officials rule differently on each out of bounds situation. This would make it easier for our officials and
coaches to be more consistent with their call. The SDHSAA also has to check with the liability and insurance company
to make sure that our catastrophic insurance will still be covered if we deviate to this procedure.
_____YES       _____NO

Proposal #3: Out of State Dual seeding points for wins and losses
For out of state dual competitions each school will receive 45.5 seed points for a win and 34.5 for any losses that
occur.
Rationale: It is continuing to get tougher and tougher to get the accurate results of team records out of state. This would
elevate this issue when it comes to seeding time for state duals. We currently do not have an accurate way to check each
out of state school dual record for accuracy which could affect seedings.
_____YES      _____NO
Proposal #4: Amend “Tournament Administration and Regulations” Section A (p. 6 in Wrestling Handbook)
Handbook to read as follows: “Each team must use TrackWrestling as live management software for all
tournaments and dual competition, to include multi-dual events" In addition, add a section following the
TrackWrestling deadlines on page 6 of the Wrestling Handbook that reads as such “Failure to update
TrackWrestling via the deadlines above will result in a $50 fine to the school”

Rationale: Schools and coaches need to make it a priority to use TrackWrestling for all events in order to properly
update records, weigh-ins and seeding. This will allow schools better record keeping and more accurate records that will
help with regular, and post season seeding and scoring. School will be required to keep their TrackWrestling up to date
throughout the season.
_____YES       _____NO
Discussion Items: Wrestling
    1. Weight Classes for 2022-23 Season will stay the same as this past year. Discussion and voting for weight classes
       for the year of 2023-24. Please note that starting in 2023 season the highest weight class for females will be
       235.
       Weight Classes for Girls that we will need to decide on:
       12 Classes – 107, 114, 120, 126, 132, 138, 145, 152, 165, 185 & 235
       13 Classes – 100, 106, 112, 118, 130, 136, 142, 148, 155, 170, 190 & 235
       14 Classes – 100, 105, 110, 115, 120, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 155, 170, 190 & 235 Weight Classes for Boys that
       we will need to decide on:
       12 Classes – 108, 116, 124, 131, 138, 145, 152, 160, 170, 190, 215 & 285
       13 Classes – 107, 114, 121, 127, 133, 139, 145, 152, 160, 172, 189, 215 & 285
       14 Classes – 106, 113, 126, 132, 138, 144, 150, 157, 165, 175, 190, 215 & 285
    2. We will be putting together a committee to figure out our OPC system and how that will be regulated. Schools
       should set aside money for skin calipers and dehydration strips that will be used. Training and requirements
       will be sent out to schools once they have been put into place.
    3. Rosters/Coaches Deadlines will need to be followed or fines and or region and state events will be restricted.

IN/OUT OF SEASON & AD ADVISORY
Proposal #1 – Add Softball to In/Out of Season Handbook
Add Softball to In/Out of Season Handbook with the number of 7 as the maximum number of participating
athletes that can attend at any one time for Club Teams, All-Star Events and Private Lessons

Rationale: We have added softball to the sanctioned SDHSAA Sports starting in the Spring of 2023. We needed to
setup out of season requirements and are comparing them to
Discussion Items:
    1. In/Out of Season Rules and how can the SDHSAA educate to membership on the rules.
    2. Review the FAQ in the handbook.
