In Texas, each classification (which is based on population), has 32 districts. 4 team from each district make the playoffs, so 128 total teams. That makes 7 rounds of playoffs, the first 5 being weekly, until the final four meet in a one game semi-final and championship. The first 5 rounds are either 1 or 3 game series, depending on what coaches agree to or a coin-flip. Each team has equal footing, with champions having no more say in length of series or location than a 4th place team from neighboring district.
The interesting thing is that the brackets for first 5 rounds of matchups are all geographically set up. District 1 plays district 2, 3 vs 4...etc. Very possible for two great teams to play in the first round, while lesser teams make it further because of matchups.

Here is our bracket this year.
