BROCKWAY, Pa. – District 9 released the 2021 softball playoff brackets Thursday with championship games in Class 1A, Class 2A, and Class 3A scheduled for Memorial Day, May 31, and the Class 4A title game slated for Thursday, May 27.
All title games will be at Heindl Memorial Field in DuBois.
Seven teams have entered the Class 1A tournament, five are in the Class 2A field, two are in the Class 3A field, and two are in the Class 4A field. DuBois, the lone Class 5A team in District 9, is in a subregional tournament with Districts 5 and 8. They will play Brashear out of District 8 on Tuesday, May 25 at 4 p.m. at Heindl Memorial Field.
The seedings in Class 1A, Class 2A, Class 3A, and Class 4A were determined by the District 9 Power Point formula (take the number of wins a team has and multiply it by 5 then add schedule points for each opponent regardless of the outcome – 1/2 a point for playing a Class 1A opponent, 1 point for playing a Class 2A opponent, 1 1/2 points for playing a Class 3A opponent, 2 points for playing a Class 4A opponent, 2 1/2 points for playing a Class 5A opponent, and 3 points for playing a Class 6A opponent – and divide by the number of games a team has played)
