Teams qualified for the postseason through their regular season performance. Each league champion automatically qualified for the state tournament, and the other spots were determined by the
CHSAA Selection & Seeding Index, with the consideration that two teams within the same league couldn't match up in the first round.
In each of the brackets, teams were flipped due to head-to-head competition and/or to avoid league matchups. In 3A, Eaton and University were flipped, as were Southeast Colorado and Forge Christian. In 4A, Durango and Silver Creek were switched, as were Discovery Canyon and Mesa Ridge. In 5A, Chatfield and Arvada West flopped, Mountain Vista and Chaparral switched and Fossil Ridge and Greeley West were switched.
