In WPIAL Class 1A, the top five teams in each section make the playoffs, and also one sixth-place “wild-card” team. The top two teams in each section, and the top two third-place teams will play home games in the first round of the playoffs. Wild Card records do not supersede conference records to determine the order of the conference standings. See the full conference standings here. To determine the wild-card teams, and the two third-place teams in each class that will earn home-field in first round games, the following system will be used:
All potential qualifiers and tiebreakers will be based on the results of the following games:
- Section 1 (Eastern Conference) – 7 Section games + 1 game vs. Section 2 (TCS)
- Section 2 (Tri-County South Conference) – 7 Section games + 1 game vs. Section 1 (Eastern)
- Section 3 (Big 7 Conference) – 8 Section games
