On Sunday, the California Interscholastic Federation will announce its lineup of 24 regional football games and two finalists — one north, one south — in the state Open Division.

Now, with a few exceptions, if a team wins a section championship it automatically advances to a regional game. The exceptions are if individual sections have Open divisions, then multiple teams from those sections can advance.
That is the case with the North Coast Section, which sends two from its Open Division, and none from Division 1.
