How to read the projection

The labelled line marks the end of the division’s automatic or play-in places. How SCVAL qualifies — Article VII §2 (first three in each division are automatic qualifiers; fourth place plays in for the SCVAL 7th AQ; the play-in loser and both fifth-place teams go to CCS for at-large consideration).

Every status in the tables is a written word. There are no probabilities on this page, because there is no model behind it — only the league points played so far.

Each team’s playoff division is from the Section’s 2026 Divisions sheet; the Open Division’s eight are drawn from Division I at the end of the regular season. A designated league champion (not co-champions) is guaranteed at least a play-in game, and each league names its champion, not its table.

Tournament of Champions

Oct 22–29 · the postseason for the Sunset and the LA independents

The Tournament of Champions is the postseason for the Sunset and the LA independents: eight teams, five from the Sunset and three LA independents, Oct 22–29, run by the Los Angeles Field Hockey Association, not by CIF. Round 1 Thu Oct 22, semifinals Tue Oct 27, the final Thu Oct 29 at Huntington Beach High School. Its games count in no league table. Nothing official publishes its pairings; the games below are as MaxPreps lists them.

Sunset — Sunset field hockey league

The Sunset’s postseason is the Tournament of Champions, Oct 22–29, which it shares with the LA independents. The Los Angeles Field Hockey Association runs it, since the CIF Southern Section holds no field hockey championship (Blue Book Bylaws 2011.1 and 3500.2) and CIF no regional or state one; a Sunset team not in it ends its season with its last game, Oct 31 at the latest.

Five of the eight Sunset teams play in it: Edison, Great Oak, Huntington Beach, Newport Harbor and Temecula Valley. Not in it: Chaparral, Fountain Valley and Marina.

Tournament of Champions games

LA independents

The LA independents’ postseason is the Tournament of Champions, Oct 22–29, which they share with the Sunset. The Los Angeles Field Hockey Association runs it, since the CIF Southern Section holds no field hockey championship (Blue Book Bylaws 2011.1 and 3500.2) and CIF no regional or state one; an independent not in it ends its season with its last game, Oct 31 at the latest.

Three of the five LA independents play in it: Bonita, Glendora and Harvard-Westlake. Not in it: Chaminade and Thousand Oaks.

No league gathers these five schools. Glendora, Harvard-Westlake and Thousand Oaks are the only field hockey teams in their all-sports leagues on MaxPreps (the Palomares League, League B and the Marmonte League). MaxPreps and si.com list Bonita and Chaminade in the Sunset, but MaxPreps marks none of their games against the five Orange County Sunset teams as a league game, and each plays every other independent home and away, so this site lists them here. The table counts every game between two of the five, whether or not MaxPreps marks it as a league game (it marks only Bonita’s two games with Chaminade), and orders them by this site’s 3-1-0 points.
