Playoff Bracket Information

 District Alignment Information can be found on the UIL website: http://www.uiltexas.org/files/alignments/vb-4a-2010.pdf

4A Bracket Info:    http://www2.uil.utexas.edu/brackets/volleyball/volleyball-4a.pdf

Helpful hints:  There are 32 4A districts in Texas with anywhere from 6 to 10 schools in each district.  HP is in district 10 which falls under Region 2.  The Regions are arranged clockwise starting with Region 1 being mainly Ft Worth area schools and West Texas, Region 2 is Dallas area and Northeast Texas schools, Region 3 is Houston area, and Region 4 is San Antonio, Austin and South Texas.  The districts are realigned every 2 years.  The top four teams in each district make the playoffs.
The 4A bracket covers 2 pages and has a small legend in the middle showing what the various abbreviations mean.  W = Winner or First Place, R = Runner Up or Second Place, T= Third Place and F = Fourth Place.  To find Highland Park, you need to find Region 2's bracket and look for 10R for 10th District Runner-up.  The bracket does show the progression from Bi-District to Area to Regionals to State with the applicable dates.  Region 2 Regionals (semi-finals) are to be held at the Garland Special Events Center on 11/12 and the Regional finals at Sacshe High School on Saturday afternoon, 11/13. The State Semi-finals (11/18) and Finals (11/20) are held in San Marcos at Texas State University.  The bracket will be filled in at the end of district (10/30) and, as playoff scores are reported, the UIL playoff bracket will show the latest results.
