Unlike in some states, regional and district placement has no bearing on regular season scheduling; schools form conferences on their own or compete as independents, although conferences generally consist of similarly sized schools which are geographically proximate to each other. Except in football, all schools in good standing fielding teams in a particular sport are allowed to enter that sport's postseason tournament which crowns a champion.
Unlike in certain jurisdictions, regional and district boundaries do not affect regular season arrangements; schools create their own conferences or compete individually, often including neighboring schools of similar size. In most sports except football, all qualified teams can participate in the postseason tournament that declares a winner.
