QUALIFYING The CIFSDS Field Hockey playoffs will consist of three divisions. OPEN= 8 teams, Division 1= 12 teams, and Division II= 12 teams. All team draws will be based on the CIFSDS Power Rankings with the top 8 teams in Division I being placed into the Open Division. The Open Division will be a true seed as it begins in the Quarterfinals and therefore league champions are not guaranteed home games if they are not a top 4 seed. Divisions 1 and 2 will allow for home games for league champs if they are a lower seed. Pairings will take place on November 11, 2015 9:00 a.m. San Diego Hall of Champions, CIFSDS Office. On October 7, 2015 The CIFSDS Board of Managers will vote on the following proposal that if passed will take effect immediately for the 2015 Fall- playoffs. If a league champion is not seeded into the playoffs, the champion will host a play-in game versus the lowestseeded team in that division. If more than one league champion is not seeded, the highest ranking league champion will play the lowest seeded team, the 2nd highest ranked league champion will play the 2nd lowest seeded team, etc. The play-in game will be held prior to the first round game in that sport. There will be no play-in games in the sport of football football league champions are automatic qualifiers and are guaranteed entry into the 1st round of the playoffs. League champions will host play-in games. League champions will host 1st round games unless playing a higher seeded league champion or playing a team seeded #1-#4 or league champion has hosted a play-in game.
