How the bracket simulation works

WIAA basketball runs five separate single-elimination brackets — one per enrollment division — from regionals through the state finals at the Kohl Center. After seeding is set, the model plays every remaining game forward many times using team efficiency ratings and home-site advantage, then tallies how often each team reaches each round.

The probabilities nest: State Champion ≤ State Finalist ≤ State Qualifier ≤ Sectional Final. Switch the outcome above to rank teams by how often they reach that stage. Per-team round-by-round odds live on each team page; the full region-by-region brackets are on the region brackets view.

Wider error bars than the college models — prep stats are self-reported and noisier — but the same simulation engine drives the published winner accuracy.
