Softball and Baseball Playoffs and STAAR Testing

Questions have arisen in reference to the scheduling of softball and baseball post-season contests in conjunction with STAAR testing in the coming weeks.

In reference to those questions, please find the following information.

  • If any student in the school is taking any test at any time that day, no playoff game can be scheduled Monday through Thursday, as required by state law.
  • Once testing is complete for the week, teams may schedule playoff games beginning the following day, provided they remain in compliance with UIL rules for scheduling playoff games.
  • On Friday, when there are timed tests that end at a time certain, with school approval teams could travel no earlier than 30 minutes after the scheduled end of tests on Friday.
  • If any test for any student on a team involved in a post-season contest occurs on Friday and is an untimed test, travel for that team is not permitted until the end of the school day.
  • If there are conflicts between a playoff series and the state track meet, it is recommended (but not required) that schools schedule only a onegame series.
