Hosting District and Region Events
• District hosts are determined at the various district planning meetings for each sport.
• Region hosts for team sports (i.e. football, basketball, etc.) are determined by the setup of the playoff bracket.
• Region Cheer is bid in the same fashion as State Final Events
• Region hosts for individual sports (i.e. swimming, wrestling, cross country) are selected from volunteer applicants before the start of the season.
