Details on football's plan for Season A and Season C - Colorado High School Activities Association

Following the vote on Wednesday night to allow schools to play football in the fall, if they choose to, here are further details about the season.

Schools can choose to play in either Season A (fall) or Season C (spring). Those selections are happening now, and schools must declare which season they will play in by Monday at 8 a.m. Declarations are for the entire program, including sub-varsity teams.
Schools can only play in one season.
The season structure will be identical in each season.
There will be a champion named in each season.
Teams will play a 6+1 season, meaning all teams will play a six-game regular season. Teams that miss the playoffs can schedule a seventh game against another non-qualifier in Week 1 or Week 2 of the postseason. Teams that make the playoffs will play at least seven games.
Teams must play four of the six regular-season games in order to be eligible for the postseason.
Playoffs will be an eight-team bracket, which is set and seeded by the CHSAA Seeding Index (RPI, MaxPreps, CHSAANow coaches poll, and Packard Rankings).
If possible, leagues will be kept intact if 50% of a league remains playing in a given season. However, leagues may need to be redrawn as needed to allow for six games.
All schools, in Season A or Season C, will have a schedule built by the CHSAA office due to the short amount of time prior to the start of the season.
Schools have been sent COVID-specific guidelines, and will continue to receive further information about these restrictions.
