Per GHSA by-law 4.39, a “universal” coin toss was conducted to determine which part of the bracket would be “home” in classes 1A Division II, 4A, 5A, and 6A of the football quarterfinals if the two competing teams are equal seeds.
The universal coin toss result determined that the BOTTOM team in the official GHSA playoff bracket will be the designated home team in the quarterfinal round in cases where equal seeds meet.
This is only for games between equal seeds. In all other cases, the higher-seeded team will host as usual. This only applies to the 1A Division II, 4A, 5A, and 6A brackets - the other brackets are seeded so there are no like seeds.
