10/06/23- Football Playoff Schedule Request and Football RPI Clarification and Clean-up
FOOTBALL PLAYOFF SCHEDULING REQUEST
As teams start qualifying for the playoffs, we are asking for schools’ help in scheduling, especially in the first round. As all are aware, our supply of officials is not at the levels we were during the early 2000s when we had abundant numbers. Many of our associations, including some of our larger groups, have struggled to return to even their pre-COVID legals in terms of numbers. As such, staffing that first round which is always difficult, is likely very problematic, especially if all teams insist on trying to play on the same Friday night. Our assigners are very conscious of the need to only use those that feel are “playoff ready”, and really need your help on these dates.
There are distinct advantages to playing on Thursday or Saturday that negate the usual concerns about different preparation weeks, etc. Teams seem to be very adept at moving games during fall […]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: OCT. 3, 2023
The Kentucky High School Athletic Association introduced the newest addition to its staff on Tuesday with the hiring of Supervisor of Officials Licensing Scott Bottoms.

As authorized by the Board of Control through the Commissioner’s office, member schools are requested to respond to two surveys regarding wrestling weight classes for girls’ competitions. Bylaw 22, Sec. 5 of the KHSAA Bylaws requires the Association expressly to use NFHS playing rules in sports for which those rules are written and the KHSAA sponsors a championship. Therefore, the events cannot by rule be run in the manner that prior events were run, including the past events managed by KWCA, with a hybrid set of weight classes and the KHSAA must conform to NFHS rules. The survey must be received by the close of business on October 12, 2023.
SURVEY VOTE ONE
The first survey requests the Designated Representative (per Bylaw 1) of each wrestling school to select between 12, 13 and 14 weight classes. A preliminary survey in 2021 has 35 schools select 12 weight classes, 33 select 14 weight classes and 11 […]

9/21/23 – Kentucky Esports – The Status of League of Legends and Other Titles
League of Legends
With a registration deadline of tomorrow, September 22, and the fall/winter season set to start next Monday — I want to share the status of one of our two longest-standing Esports titles in the state of Kentucky.
League of Legends, along with Rocket League, launched Esports in Kentucky. From our first in-person State Championship at Collins High School back on January 28, 2019, through this spring’s exciting championship at the University of Kentucky, League of Legends has been a staple of Kentucky Esports. It has offered one of the most exciting in-person championships we have — one that has consistently had a number of fans watching the action either in person or via Twitch.
Being 5v5, it offers the highest participation opportunities thus far of any title that we offer (though we do have two titles close at 4v4).
To give a little perspective, enrollment in Super Smash Bros. is outpacing LoL […]

The mandatory online KHSAA Rules Clinic for the winter sport activity of Esports is now available.

This clinic is required of all coaches (varsity, junior varsity, and freshman) whether or not the coach receives pay.
FOR ATHLETIC DIRECTORS
I cannot stress this enough: though your student-athletes and coaches have to be loaded into and be active in PlayVS’ system in order to play the games, they have to be loaded into the KHSAA online roster and coaching databases to be eligible to play the games. So please make certain all of your student-athletes and coaches are loaded into the KHSAA Online Roster System as soon as possible.

For member schools, the clinics are located on the School Log-in Page. To access the clinic, go to https://schools.khsaa.org/ and — under the section […]
