03/23/23- Basketball Scheduling and Corresponding Dates Reminders for 2023-24 and 2024-25

March 23, 2023 2022-2023 News Releases

Nearly two years ago, the Board of Control approved revisions to the corresponding date calendar for basketball necessitated by the annual rollover of calendar dates, the periodic movement of the NCAA championships calendar and the availability of postseason championship facilities. In order to impact as few post-season sites as possible, the association adjusts its calendar periodically to allow for the incongruence of NCAA and NFHS planning calendars but so as not to lessen any competition season. This information was shared in detail during past regional meetings of the membership and the Designated Representatives and Principals in attendance.

Schools are reminded that the periodic  “rollover” of corresponding dates occurs during 2023-24 and will result in an additional week of play for 2023-24 that is not available in 2024-25 and was not available in 2022-23. Whether you view the last week as the “extra week” or the first week (labeled Week 0 below), is a matter for scheduling. Due to the number of events that are scheduled based on the time prior to district tournaments, the chart below reflects the first week allowed by Bylaw 23 as the extra week.

The deadline for seeded district games remains the Wednesday of the final regular season week, which for 2023-24 is February 21, 2024.

It should also again be noted, as was announced previously on multiple occasions and through the regional meetings, that the season will remain corresponding in 2024-25 with the same length mandated by Bylaw 23 (12 weeks). However, there will be an extra week between the first and second state tournaments as Rupp Arena hosts the NCAA First and Second rounds as a “make good” for the COVID-canceled event during 2020.
