The Division and Seeding selection process divides the top 48 MaxPreps/Calpreps** state-ranked local teams into 4 equal size groups. The top 12 teams become Division I, the next 12 become Division II, and so on.

The top 4 seeds in each division get a first round bye and teams 5-12 are paired into a standard structure, similar to the national collegiate tackle football 12-team playoffs. Some minor adjustments avoid first-round same-league pairings.
