Based on section standings, the top team in each of the five sections will earn an automatic bid to the 16-team state tournament. The remaining eleven teams for the state bracket will be based on the power rank of the division. The state tournament will consist of four rounds and will be single elimination.
- 5 automatic bids and eleven (11) at-large qualifiers based on ranking
Division I & II Pairs: Top eight teams in end of the season power rankings as No. 1 pair automatically qualify for the tournament. Pair must have competed as a pair in the No. 1 team competition slot in at least eight competition opportunities. Remaining eight pairs will be determined at the Division I coaches state tournament seeding meeting. Once the 16 school pairs are determined, coaches at the seeding meeting will seed the top eight pairs for the No. 1 through No. 4 bracket slots and the computer will do the blind draw for slots 5-16.
