No. They have till the 29th before they have to forfeit state playoffs. CPS school will still be seededIn this editorial, it is mentioned that CPS has until noon Saturday or CPS schools will not be seeded.

Really? Like a 4-5 Marist or Naperville Central among others? There are plenty of other 4-5 teams who would be better than the CPS team.
There are some good cps programs that can beat some schools in the Burbs. Orr won two state games last year so yea
That’s a very interesting question.If the strike were to continue and cause forfeits, would the recipient of the W due to forfeit have to travel if their next opponent was the lower seed in game 1?
Like Marist? Naperville Central? Not fair to other teams that earned their way in to not have a definite opponent until Wednesday.Plan for the cps school and if they get bounced who ever they put in place will be sub par anyway relax
Fenwick a couple of years agoNo ... not by a stretch.
I don't think so.Think back to 87.With CPS only getting Lane Tech in many 6-3 schools who would have been left out got in.Rich South got all the way to the semi finalsLike Marist? Naperville Central? Not fair to other teams that earned their way in to not have a definite opponent until Wednesday.
I said the same thing.That would be funnyHere’s an interesting possibility. If somebody draws a CPS school first round and in the game next to them are two CPS schools, they are automatically in the quarterfinals. Terrible.
too bad IHSA doesn't have committee like NCAA hoops making choices, they'd make sure it would't happen. Tragic for a team to get a two week bye in the state playoffs!Here’s an interesting possibility. If somebody draws a CPS school first round and in the game next to them are two CPS schools, they are automatically in the quarterfinals. Terrible.
Most likely the case. Would suck for higher seeded school and lost playoff game revenue.If the strike were to continue and cause forfeits, would the recipient of the W due to forfeit have to travel if their next opponent was the lower seed in game 1?

What doesn’t make sense to me is by the time we get to Saturday we will know long before the pairings if the CPS teams are still on strike or not.
seems to me if they are still out they should just seed the playoffs without them. Harsh I know but it’s not fair to teams who get a bye, lose a home game and have their first playoff game on the road as a better seed.
Piss on the CPS.Should have had this taken care of long ago1. Your scenario about first game in round 2 on road as higher seed only happens if the other game has the lower seed win on the road week 1. So you’d have to have a team who happens to be paired with a CPS team and gets the forfeit also happen to be above or below a game where an “upset” also occurs. We aren’t talking about that many instances and potentially none.
2. Regarding seeding the CPS teams. On pairings day Saturday you WON’T know if the strike might end by the end of the day tuesday! Good luck explaining that if it happens and oh too bad Phillips you got the boot in place of a 4-5 non-qualifier and you could have played if we would have seeded you cuz the strike did end in time... welp, sorry.

What efforts? Almost each year constant blowouts,forfeits,strikes,etcYeah, screw those kids and their efforts!
How come they (IHSA) hasn’t made a official statement regarding the issue at hand or did they and I just missed it the Chicago tribune reported it one way and the sun times reported a different way. Both sources are reputable
I’m pretty sure that’s exactly WHY they went out on strike now.Those that caused it should own it. The fact should be understood that by going out on strike when they did, this was the unavoidable result.
They did some time ago but people don’t want to accept it. They ARE seeding and bracketing the qualified CPS teams even if they have to forfeit.
Can you post the link. So we can shut everyone up
You've seen the proposals that haven't been made public yet?I'm normally very, very pro-labor, but the city has offered a proposal more than fair. They should take the money and run.
The teachers union backed the wrong (understatement) horse in the mayor's race and they feel a need to show their muscle after that humiliating defeat.
