Bracketology MHSAA style

November 1, 2011

Be sure to check out our tournament brackets for football, soccer and volleyball that we've been updating throughout those MHSAA tournaments.

They're an easy way to keep up with who a team has faced, will play next and when, and also where it might be heading for the next round. 

And anyone can register to give us a hand and update game-by-game results for soccer and volleyball events. Better yet, registering to update scores allows you to do so for any team for an entire season -- which not only will update that team's overall record in the bracket, but give us all a better idea what it has accomplished this fall.

Click here to see every event being played any day, and click "Submit Score" next to an event to update it or "Dispute Score" if we have an incorrect result.

Visit our soccer page to view interactive brackets for every tournament level.
Go to our volleyball page to view the same for this sport.

Be the Referee: Hockey Delayed Offside

By Brent Rice
MHSAA Assistant Director

February 16, 2022

Be The Referee is a series of short messages designed to help educate people on the rules of different sports, to help them better understand the art of officiating, and to recruit officials.

Below is this week's segment – Hockey Delayed Offside - Listen

Bundle up because we are on the ice today with a delayed offside situation in hockey.

During the delayed offsides, the puck is shot directly on goal. Should the official:

► Whistle the play dead and restart with a faceoff from the offending team zone?

► Whistle the play dead and restart with a faceoff from the closest dot from where the shot was taken?

► Whistle the play dead and restart with a faceoff from the neutral zone?

► Or – let the play continue.

If you said let the play continue, you are correct. In this situation, the play should be allowed to continue until all offensive players clear the offensive zone.

The next time there’s a delayed offsides call with a shot on goal, you’ll know what to do.
