TOURNAMENT PROGRAMS
what's changing with tournament programs?
Beginning in Fall 2025, the WIAA will offer Tournament Programs exclusively online for free, and will no longer print and sell physical Tournament Programs.
- Tournament Programs are now digital only and available through Issuu and each sport’s Tournament Central about two days before events, replacing all on-site printed sales.
- The move aligns with the national standard, addresses capacity and efficiency concerns, and ensures statewide access for fans before, during, and after State Championships.
- Fans can download programs at no cost and print them anywhere to continue their physical collections without interruption.
What’s changing with Tournament Programs?
The WIAA will now offer all Tournament Programs exclusively online for free. Printed programs will no longer be sold on-site at State Championships.
Why is this change being made?
This transition aligns with the national standard among State Associations. After surveying all 51 State Associations in Spring 2025, the WIAA found that most now publish their programs digitally. Moving online also helps reduce printing waste and allows fans to access programs before and after events.
What’s changing inside the Tournament Programs?
The content fans are used to isn’t going anywhere. Each Tournament Program will continue to include team rosters, brackets, tournament history, statistics, and records, along with other familiar features, just in a new, convenient format.
Where can I access a Tournament Program?
Programs are available through Issuu, a leading digital flipbook platform, and on each sport’s Tournament Central page.
How do I download a Tournament Program?
When viewing a program, users can download the PDF file directly by clicking on the download button on the bottom bar of icons.
When will Tournament Programs be made available?
Programs will be uploaded to Issuu and Tournament Central pages about two days before each State Championship event, making them available before events for the first time! Fans can now view programs before the events begin and revisit them anytime afterward. Once uploaded, they remain available throughout and after the State Championships.
Can I maintain my physical collection of Tournament Programs?
Yes! You can absolutely continue your collection. After downloading your Tournament Program PDF, you’re welcome to print it however you like: At a local print shop or office store, through an online service like Canva, or even on your home printer. You’ll have full access to your digital copy, so whether you want a traditional booklet or a poster, or something else, that’s completely up to you.
Will the printed programs ever return?
There are no current plans to return to printed, on-site program sales, as digital delivery better serves fans statewide and aligns with national practices.
Can I still get a program if I can’t attend the tournament?
Absolutely! One of the biggest benefits of going digital is that anyone can access Tournament Programs, whether you’re attending in-person or following from home.
Complimentary Passes
COMPLIMENTARY pASSES
Beginning in Fall 2025, the WIAA will offer complimentary passes to State Championships exclusively through the Association’s digital ticketing partner, GoFan.

Complimentary passes will only be accepted through GoFan to enter WIAA State Championships.

Broadcaster Educational Opportunities
BROADCASTER EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
In an effort to enhance the streaming efforts of high school athletics and activities across Washington, the WIAA presents three free courses for all interested broadcasters. Broadcasters on the NFHS Network for WIAA State Tournaments must complete the three courses below before broadcasting a State Tournament contest. As a result of the growing importance of broadcasting high school athletics and activities, the WIAA partnered with Jamie Council, a prominent freelance broadcast journalist in Washington, to create the WIAA Broadcast Training Course.

- Scan the list of available courses until you find WIAA Broadcast Training Course.
Estimated Time for Completion: ~45-60 minutes
The WIAA Broadcast Training Course exists to help give high school athletes the best coverage while assisting broadcast professionals in their development. The WIAA wants to create opportunities for students and those passionate about serving high school sports. It is the WIAA’s hope to serve both entities with a required training course for all WIAA announcers. The hope is to put forth established expectations that the WIAA can expect accountability while also uplifting broadcasters and providing professional development.
nfhs learn: play-by-play announcing
Estimated Time for Completion: ~60 minutes
Play-by-play announcing is a key aspect when broadcasting a live game, providing vital insight to the moment-by-moment action of the sport, as well as developing stories behind-the-scenes. That is why the NFHS has created the course Play-by-Play Announcing. This course demonstrates how to professionally prepare for a game as a play-by-play announcer, how to successfully work with an analyst or reporter, how to use proper tone and inflection, and the important aspects of play-by-play announcing during a live broadcast. So, take the course Play-by-Play Announcing, available for free on the NFHS Learning Center.
nfhs learn: implicit bias
Estimated Time for Completion: ~60 minutes
Implicit biases are the automatic reactions we have toward other people based on our past learning and expectations. Studies show that Implicit Bias affects the experiences of students in school athletic and activity programs. The NFHS has partnered with Project Implicit to bring you this course, Implicit Bias. Studies support that there is a relationship between implicit bias and real-world behavior, which highlights the importance of being aware of and managing your bias. This course defines and illustrates examples of Implicit Bias and provides research on how it impacts our society.
Multimedia Policies

RPI Rankings – Welcome – Copy
It is the responsibility of WIAA member schools to manage their schedules and scores using Arbiter. For questions regarding the accuracy of information of a particular school, please contact that school’s Athletic Director.
What is RPI?
RPI, Rating Percentage Index is a statistical system used to comparatively rank teams.
What is the purpose of the RPI?
The RPI will be one tool utilized by the seeding committees to determine first round bracket pairings into the State Tournaments.
What is the RPI formula?
The formula used is as follows: RPI = (40% x WP) + (40% x OWP) + (20% x OOWP)
WP (Winning Percentage): Divide the number of wins by the number of total games played for your team.
OWP (Opponents’ Winning Percentage): Average of the winning percentage of a team’s opponents (Note: this is not calculated via the combined record of the opponents, but rather by averaging the winning percentage of the opponents).
OOWP (Opponents’ Opponents’ Winning Percentage): Same process as OWP except the calculation is with the opponents of the team’s opponent. Note: there is an exception for out-of-state opponents – see below.
Why use the RPI vs what has been used previously?
The RPI system will be an accurate reflection of all regular and postseason games. Teams will be seeded into the state brackets based on their final ranking as determined by the seeding committees versus previous criteria that was based on how teams finished in the District qualifying tournaments.
Should scores from the jamboree be reported?
No, only scores from full games should be reported.
What if a game/match goes into overtime?
Overtime periods are considered to be an extension of the final period.
If a soccer match ends in a tie, how will it be calculated in the RPI?
All matches that end in a tie will default to a .5 win.
How do we report scores from a volleyball invitational tournament?
Since there is no consistent structure/format for volleyball invitational tournaments, they will not be included in the RPI.
Will postseason games be taken into consideration?
Yes, all games played through the District qualifying tournaments will be included.
What is important to make RPI successful?
Score reporting is essential for an accurate RPI. Schedules and scores will be managed through Arbiter. The WIAA will publish the RPI in the WIAA Live mobile app and on the WIAA website.
Where should scores be reported?
Officials will report the scores into Arbiter following the contest. Since the RPI will be based on the scores reported, it is recommended that schools verify scores.
How will out-of-state opponents be calculated?
For games played against out-of-state opponents, both the opponent’s winning percentage and opponents’ opponent’s winning percentage will default to .500.
What is the impact of cross-classification games?
The formula does not take into account classifications. A team will not be penalized for playing a team in a lower classification nor rewarded for playing against a team in a higher classification (see how the formula is calculated above).
Does the score differential matter in the RPI?
The RPI is based on a win loss formula. Score differential will have no bearing on the RPI.
What if teams have a different number of contests?
The RPI formula works off the averages of three components: winning percentage, opponents’ winning percentage and opponents’ opponents’ winning percentage, so an imbalance of one or two contests between teams will have virtually no impact on the ranking system.
What if a full contest is not possible due to inclement weather?
The specific sport NFHS rule books define a contest, which is what will be used to determine if a contest is considered to be complete.
What is the difference between a cancelled game and a forfeited game?
A cancelled game will not be included in the RPI. In a forfeited game, one team is declared a winner and the other team is declared a loser, so it will be included in both team’s RPI.
Are the WIAA Foundation games included in the RPI?
Yes.
Is a team’s RPI based on the opponent’s record at the time the game is played or is the RPI based on the final regular season record of their opponents?
The final RPI calculations used for seeding purposes will be based on the final records of all teams.
