4, however for D1 if a Team is moved up to Open Division. Then the highest rated Quarterfinalist team will be added to the 4 count. If 2 teams go Open then add another team. So if that happens 6 teams can advance out of the D1 SJS Playoff Bracket. 4 to D1 and 2 to Open.How many Teams advance to Norcal?
Some of the First-round games might Suprise some folks. Then the Quarter Finals round is a dog fight. Lincoln could be hosting Monterey Trail. Folsom could be hosting Vanden. I know Weston Ranch and Mountain House will not go down quietly and could create UPSETCITY.COM Gregori and Pitman are a lot better than many fans know about. I say, overall the toughest 1st round I can recall in the last 8 yearsI probably say it every year but D1 is an absolute grind this year. So many good teams are capable of winning this thing. Not much diff from 1-7. That Inderkum vs Sheldon game in the QTR Finals should be a great one.
The highest ranked team in any Division moves up not just Division 1, so if say # 3 in D2 is the highest ranked team that loses in the quarters, and D-1 goes chalk, the D2 team advances4, however for D1 if a Team is moved up to Open Division.

If a lower Division team is rated past the D1 Quarterfinalists they could be moved up to Open. Jesuit, Woodcreek and Christian Brothers have little to no chance of being moved up if they win their Section. While it can happen, it will not happen this year.The highest ranked team in any Division moves up not just Division 1, so if say # 3 in D2 is the highest ranked team that loses in the quarters, and D-1 goes chalk, the D2 team advances
Yeah its going to be a war. I could see Oak Ridge beating Franklin. But that's an 8 vs 9 so not much of an upset. Besides that game I don't see any other shockers in the first round. The 2nd round becomes very interesting....Some of the First-round games might Suprise some folks. Then the Quarter Finals round is a dog fight. Lincoln could be hosting Monterey Trail.
