The IHSA met on Monday and approved a recommendation to institute two measures related to member school adherence to the state’s current mask mandate. IHSA schools will not be allowed to participate in the post season for a sport if they remain on ISBE probation for non-compliance with the state mask mandate on the date of seeding in that sport.
Additionally, the IHSA staff has been directed to set appropriate timelines based on the schedule for each fall sport to begin relieving schools of their post season hosting responsibilities if they are on probation as well.
The IHSA will hold its first-ever esports State Series in April of 2022 with the inaugural state tournament featuring three titles: NBA2K, Rocket League and Super Smash Brothers. Esports becomes the 10th activity offered by the IHSA and 41 total sports & activities.
