If St. Mary's-STOCKTON wins their TCAL league, a D1 league, the Rams will return to playing in the SJS D1 playoffs (not D2) based on recent changes to the CIFSJS Playoff Plan. Per the Overview ...
- A school may only compete in one division lower than its league placement, but will compete in a higher division if its CBEDS numbers places it in a certain division. (For example, if School A were in a Division II league, the lowest division that it can compete in would be Division III. It would compete in Division I or II if its enrollment places it there.)
- If a school wins a Section championship at a particular level, that school must play at or above that level the following year
- League champions must play at or above the level of its league.
- After the 72 schools are selected, they are divided into six divisions by enrollment. Divisions I, II and III will have 16 teams each. Divisions IV, V and VI will have 8 teams each.
- A school that is misplaced due to the above criteria would be placed in its respective division and the Section staff would adjust the brackets accordingly.
