Our playoff system is set well in advance, early in the season like the first couple of weeks. We start off with the Regional sites, then the Sectionals (only 4 teams make that level who win their respective regionals). Then the Super-Sectionals which are the level before they go to the State Finals (which has 4 teams per class).
All the sites are set as I stated. Usually the bigger and better arenas are picked. A team that is hosting might not be playing at a particular Regional or Sectional site. The Super-Sectionals are usually held at a rather big high school arena or mostly at a college or professional type arena like Northern Illinois University or Chicago State. Almost all regional hosts and sectional hosts are at schools that are in those parings and if they win they will can play at their host schools, but hosting has nothing to do with being the top team. Everyone makes the playoffs theoretically and will at least play one game, but the lower the ranking in a sectional, they will play a much better team that makes it very difficult to get to the Regional Final let alone a Sectional. Regionals can have anywhere from 4 to 6 teams total for the most part. At best, the top seed in each regional can get a bye at their assigned site. And as stated before, that does not mean you host.
