Game Exclusions

A reminder that in the statewide tournament qualification and seeding all games count (including exclusion games). There is no longer need for a game exclusion form.

See July 1, 2025 thru June 30, 2027 MIAA Handbook language below:

MIAA Rule 34.1.3 Game Exclusion Notice: Member Schools may exceed the maximum number of seasonal competitions by two and exceed the weekly limit by one, when scheduling contests with the approved exclusion schools. Excluded schools are only allowed to play the maximum number of seasonal competitions and may compete against each other. All game exclusion contests will count in tournament qualification and ranking/seeding system.

Note: To obtain Exclusionary Status, an application must be submitted and approved by the MIAA Board of Directors. If granted, the status remains valid for two years. After the two-year approval expires, schools will need to reapply.
