2024 OAC States

The 2024 OAC State Tournament was held at Olentangy Berlin High School on May 4, 2024, to determine the state champion of Ohio for the 2024 season.

Format

Games were played using the OAC format.

The tournament used a 16-team double elimination format, as it had in every year since 2019. After a team lost twice, they were placed into a consolation pool with the other teams who lost in the same round, guaranteeing each team at least five games.

Teams were seeded based on a formula that calculated their controllable points per game (CPPG) at 2024 OAC Regionals. The top two teams in each of the six regions automatically qualified for the tournament, and the next four best teams across all regions, based on underlying stats, would qualify as wild-cards. New for the 2024 season was a rule that said lower-placing teams could not be considered for a wild-card berth until all teams who placed above them had already received bids, which locked out teams such as Oakwood, Indian Hill, Teays Valley, and Madeira. Runner-ups in a region couldn't be seeded ahead of their regional winners, and wild-card teams couldn't be seeded higher than their regional top two.
