In order to be considered as a sectional site, the facility must meet the following seating criteria: Class A - 1,000; Class AA - 1,250; Class AAA - 1,500. These are to be permanent seats and based on 18" width.

  3. The new 2007-08 Championship Event Card will provide complimentary admittance for the sectional basketball games. Each member school received two event cards. This card admits ONLY ONE PERSON PER CARD and replaces the use of the TSSAA Directory for school's complimentary admittance. This is the ONLY acceptable card/pass for complimentary admittance to the sectional basketball games.

The officials assigned to your sectional game shall come from an association that does not service either school unless both schools use the same association. You will receive confirmation of assignment from the officiating crew assigned to work your sectional game.

  4. The regional winner will wear light colored jerseys and shall be designated the home team on the scoreboard. (This applies regardless of the site of the game.)

  5. There shall be no practice at the game site. (Exception to this would be if a team uses the game site as its regular practice site.)

Individuals will not be allowed to stand or use tripods. A school will not be allowed to tape or film a game unless its team is involved in the game. All taping or filming must be approved by the Game Director.

  7. Permission to telecast live any sectional game must be approved by the TSSAA Board of Control. Permission to tape a sectional game for replay the next day may be granted by the Game Director provided the Game Director has space to accommodate the TV or Cable Station. Before taping is allowed, the station must pay the Game Director a fee of $200.00 which will be considered as part of the game receipts.
