Brackets
***For those that are new to Buckeye: there will be many revisions until the FINAL bracket listing is confirmed and we move onto scheduling. Teams will receive an email when final brackets are posted. DO NOT BEGIN SCHEDULING! We will be creating match-ups in each bracket so please do not try to pre-schedule as you may not be matched up against teams you try to schedule with.
Hierarchy from Highest to Lowest:
Buckeye State; Elite 1; Elite 2; Premier 1; Select
- Select Divisions are equal levels. We try to accommodate bracketing teams by district/location for these levels (ie: Select Black may be Columbus/Dayton, Select Red may be Cincinnati/Dayton, etc).
Please be sure to look at the teams in your bracket and not the bracket name as some age group bracket levels were shifted up or down to balance the large number of teams in that age group.
- If your team is missing from the brackets, but you think that you applied, please call us at 614-591-3181
- If you see your team duplicated, please let us know!
Bracket Change Request
If you feel your team has not been properly placed, please do NOT email or call– you must complete the Bracket Change Request Form found below. Please note that if you are requesting to move to a bracket that already has 9 teams (unless in the Select brackets), you will need to provide records of which team needs to move out of the bracket.
Please note we will be very restrictive on moving teams into brackets that are already full (9 or more teams). Not all change requests will be able to be accommodated – teams may be promoted or relegated based on previous season’s performance.
