Brackets/Pairings/Seedings will be available following each sport's Seeding Meeting, and results will be posted as soon as possible following each competition.

Admission to all CCS events is subject to control: payment of established admission prices, and/or provisions of pass privileges.  Admission is only for purposes of viewing the event for personal pleasure; no other license is granted.  Admission may be refused or revoked for cause subject only to the decision of responsible CCS personnel or law enforcement agency.  Abuse of pass privileges will result in forfeiture of said privilege.

• Only CCS or CIF passes will be honored. League, school, booster passes are not valid for admission
• Working press are expected to have a CCS Press Pass or be charged admission.
• In order to be given a student discount ALL students must have their school issued ID card with them, otherwise they will be charged the general admission ticket price.
  • The student discount is not based on if they "look" like they are a student or even just because they are a student.  The Board has approved a discounted admission ONLY for students who have supported their school through the purchase of an ASB card or a school-issued ID.  No exceptions for this discount will be made at the gate. 

Please be courteous to the ticket sellers and takers.  They are charging what they have been instructed to charge for admission by the CCS Board of Managers.

Neutral Sites:

CCS bylaws, which are approved by the Board of CCS, consisting of  school administrative representatives from every league in the CCS does NOT guarantee, promise, nor expect staff to assign neutral sites in ANY playoff rounds or games, including the finals.   Where the notion started that schools are guaranteed or even should have a neutral site for playoffs is puzzling.   This is foreign to our CCS playoff policy and always has been.   There has never been any such policy or guarantee or even a position that this should be included in our policy.

In fact, most of the other 9 sections in California play at the home site of the higher seeded team through the semi-finals.    CCS has attempted to provide a more tournament-like atmosphere for the playoffs by insuring quality sites with good facilities for a multiple of schools to compete on from the quarter finals on in our championships.  It would be much easier for the CCS if we did as the other 9 sections do.  As a result of our extra efforts as a staff, we continue to be criticized by coaches and parents who obviously do not understand the process nor policies established by our member schools, nor the meaning of the "seeding" of a team.    Perhaps the following will be of assistance in providing a better understanding 

• The "seed" a team receives via the seeding process does NOTHING but determine who their opponents shall be.  There are no other rights nor privileges granted to higher seeded teams, such as neutral sites or some other perceived right to other benefits.  It has nothing to do with where or when a team plays, only with WHO they play.

• The CCS playoffs rely on the goodness of our member schools to host and staff such events. Schools willing to work extra days of their own personal time and generously provide their site for the use of many other schools have always been, and will continue to be, allowed to play on their own field.  They volunteer their site well before the season even begins; they agree to host whether they advance or not; they are not expected to send their team somewhere else and then require their own school support staff to remain at their site, missing their own school's game to host other schools.  This has been the CCS playoff policy and will continue to be until such time as the principals of our member schools change it. 

• This is a CCS Championship--the CCS geographically runs from San Francisco down to King City and schools entering such a section-wide tournament must be prepared to travel anywhere within those boundaries.  We do not guarantee sites that are georgraphically in every school's backyard, that would be impossible.  If schools do not wish to travel, they should not enter the CCS tourament and end their season with their geographically-proximate league season. 

• This is clearly stated at each seeding meeting of every sport to all the coaches present.  

For the Staff, CCS Commissioner, Nancy Lazenby Blaser
