*-Split conference with 1A schools — 1-seeds must have an overall win percentage of .500 or better OR finish in the top three in the conference standings to be seeded with the 1-seeds, or else be seeded with the 2s and wild-cards.
**-Split conference with 3A schools — 1-seeds must have an overall win percentage of .500 or better OR finish in the top three in the conference standings to be seeded with the 1-seeds, or else be seeded with the 2s and wild-cards.
#-East Carteret and Martin County are the only 2As in a split conference with 1A schools and therefore must finish in the top two to have automatic spots in the playoffs.
