(Feb. 14, 2012) - My wife said please don't get her anything special for Valentine's Day so I'll put that effort I would have spent shopping into (trying to ..) explaining how the Region II Division 3 and Division 4 girls and boys basketball tournaments will be seeded.

News: Dulles District Appears the Winner as Region II Levels the Playoff Playing Field with Expanded Format

(Aug. 26, 2010) - Region II has unveiled a new payoff format that addresses previous unequal representation in a region where the Dulles District, with nine schools, is almost twice as large as the Northwestern and Evergreen districts, which each have five schools.

The Dulles District appears the winner in the new format that will see some sports (volleyball, baseball, softball, girls and boys soccer) expand to an 11-team regional tournament with four of the teams qualifying from the Loudoun County-based Dulles District. In the past just two Dulles District teams from each sport moved onto regional play.

In addition, football and basketball, which run their regional playoffs based on VHSL criteria, have expanded their Division 3 and Division 4 playoffs in Region II from six to eight teams, eliminating the need for first round byes.
