-
There will be two (2) #1 seeds and two (2) #2 seeds at each site for the first round of the tournament on Friday, February 25. The #1s will play each other and the #2s will play each other. The winner of the #1s will move on to the round of 8 which will be held March 3-5. The loser of the #1s will play the winner of the #2s on Saturday, February 26. The winner of that game will also advance to the round of 8.

The first round sites will be finalized during this fall.
The Board also decided that the 2011 3A, 4A State Baseball Championships will be played at Cheney Stadium in Tacoma, WA, as a result of a scheduling conflict at Safeco Field.
