Does anyone know what the format for the 1A state tournament will look like, under the new conference alignment?

Alignments are here: http://members.ahsaa.org/public/userfiles/Baseball.Softball/Conferences/SB_Conferences_17.pdf

From what I can tell, there are now 5 regions, and the top 4 from each region will qualify for state. A 20-team bracket would have to involve some byes. Anyone know how this will be determined?

link to basketball state bracket.  Also 20 teams, so I would guess it would look very similar.  But that's just my guess.

Thank you! You are probably right.

It's interesting that some of the 3-seeds get byes, and some do not.

I'm sure those will rotate, assuming this format stays for several seasons.  That's how football has always done: some conference winners get byes and some don't, but then it rotates each year.
