Post-Season Information

Playoff Information

Certification of District Representatives. The District Chairman will certify representatives. The last day for determining the district champions is February 8, 2025 for Girls Basketball and February 15, 2025 for Boys Basketball.

Teams Advancing to the Playoffs.

Conference 1A-6A - the top four teams from each district advance to the playoffs. The two advancing schools with the largest enrollments, as submitted in October 2023 are bracketed into Division I and the other two schools are bracketed into Division II, with both divisions playing for separate state championships.

Warm-Up Games. Teams that have advanced to the playoffs may schedule a warm-up game after the District Certification Date that is set by the UIL calendar and before their first playoff game if a team has not reached their allowable season limit. School week limitations still apply. Note: Prior to district certification, games left in a teams allowable season limit may be scheduled like any other regular season game.

  • Exception – Warm-up games for teams who have exhausted their season limit are given a UIL exception under the following conditions:
    • Teams that are a district champion and have a first round bye.
    • The one game exception can be played only at the end of your school day on Friday, last day of instruction (with no loss of school time) or anytime on Saturday.

UIL Playoff Reporting - Teams Advancing. Coaches are required to submit playoff results immediately following their contest. The winning school should submit playoff game results and next round information via MaxPreps through the assigned coach/admin account. The score reported by a coach on a team’s page will automatically fill in the bracket.

  • The completeness of the data presented on the UIL Texas Scoreboard will be dependent upon the participation of schools and coaches. For more information, please see www.uiltexas.org/athletics/uil-maxpreps.

Police Protection. Adequate police protection should be provided for all playoff games, whether the game is played at a neutral site or on the home court of one of the teams.

Officials.  In all conferences at all playoff levels, except regional tournaments and state tournaments, officials are to be obtained by the two schools involved. If schools cannot mutually agree, then the UIL will assign officials.  Please use the "Basketball Officials Assignment Request Form" located at http://www.uiltexas.org/basketball/officials for this request.

Contracts. All playoff arrangements between two schools should be made in writing and signed to protect both parties.

Team Information & Pictures. Teams winning the regional semifinal game must submit the following materials to the UIL no later than Wednesday, February 19 (Girls Basketball) and Wednesdady, February 26 (Boys Basketball):  

Failure to submit this information could result in a range of penalties as described in Section 27 (b) of the UIL Constitution and Contest Rules or your team not appearing in the State Tournament program.
