Per GHSA by-law 4.39, GHSA Associate Director Merri Sherman conducted a “universal” coin toss to determine which part of the bracket would be “home” in the SEMIFINAL Rounds of SOCCER if the two competing teams are equal seeds.
The universal coin toss result determined that the teams in the TOP half of the official GHSA playoff bracket will be the designated home team in the semifinal rounds in cases where equal seeds meet.
This is only for games between equal seeds. In all other cases, the higher-seeded team will host as usual.
