District Playoffs are the first step in the MAHA State Tournament. Each district runs a playoff to determine a champion. The champion then represents the district in the MAHA State Playoff Tournament. To enter, you need to fill out a district intent form (online, found under the district info section of this tab). You need to be credentialed (verification of paperwork and team eligibility requirements).
In some divisions there will be a runner-up tournament. This happens when other districts do not have a team to send to represent their district. It is mandatory that the District 5 runner-up in a participate in this tournament if there is an opening for District 5. This tournament is normally one or two weeks after the District 5 Finals.
