Discussion Points of WIAA Ad-hoc Committee Proposal

• 7-game regular season and all teams participate in a Tournament Series play-in game in Week 8
• Coaches will seed to assign pairings for Week 8 games with 64 teams per divisions 1-6 with the remainder of teams in Division 7, which needs further review of match-ups with less than a full bracket
• Week 9 championship bracket and beyond will be considered WIAA playoffs (Levels 1-5) with revenue generated from Week 9 to Week 13 in Championship Bracket operated as WIAA playoffs have been traditionally
• Losing teams in Weeks 8 and 9 will play other teams losing in those weeks to complete a 10-game schedule
• Schools or conference commissioners will assign officials in Week 8 and for Extended Season Bracket games in Weeks 9 and 10
• Reduced player football and jubilee post-season in 2012
• Extensive travel considerations need further review for a 16-team crossover plan; Week 8 match-up considerations vs. conference/previously played opponents need further review in 8-team plant
