A pilot program to seed the Indiana 6A high school football tournament won’t be considered by the Indiana High School Athletic Association.

The Indiana Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association board has voted 78.9-percent against a proposal from theĀ Indiana Football Coaches Association that would have seeded the state’s largest classification for a two-year period. The proposal needed to be approved by at least 50-percent of the IIAAA members.

The plan that the IIAAA voted on would have split the classification into four quadrants with eight teams. Each quadrant would seed the top four teams with a blind draw host site. The remaining four teams would get their opponent in a blind draw.
