No, the regular season champ is guaranteed a spot in the playoffs. The tournament does not like much use for the 3A teams except for bragging rights. But for 2A, it is a different story-I'll use the CVAC as an example...Hibriten is currently 3rd in the conference behind Foard and Hickory, but since they are the top 2A team, they are in position to get an automatic bid to the playoffs. Bandy's is currently in 4th in the conference and they are the 2nd place 2A team. If all seedings stay the same, Bandy's is in position to get a playoff bid, but if another 2A team wins the conference tournament (besides Hibriten) then the winning team will receive the bid over Bandy's. So in that conference, it looks like Foard is going to receive the automatic bid for the 3A and Hickory is in a pretty good spot to recieve a wild-card bid who will probably finish 2nd in the conference.. If I had to guess, Hibriten will finish 3rd in the conference which will make them the top 2A team-guaranteeing them a playoff spot. Then I believe Bandy's will finish 4th, which will give them a playoff bid unless a 2A team besides Hibriten wins the tournament.

Does everyone follow that? If not, I will try to explain it a little better

From what I see, it looks like there are only 2 wild card spots in the East and 2 wild card spots in the West. www.nchsaa.org/pdf/5039C.pdf.

You beat me to it Red Bear, Playoff brackets only show 2 wild cards for each end of the state, that is why each game is so important no matter who you are playing. Some really good teams could be left out of the playoffs this year. By the way, HOW BOUT THEM TIGERS???
