From Joe Durham:

Here are the zones for 2023, In A ball El Dorado gets the automatic as they are hosting A State, In AA Concordia gets the automatic as they are hosting AA state. We lost some teams because of injuries so AA top two teams in Norton, Seneca, Iola zones and in the Beloit zone, one team besides Concordia: Record for seeding in State will be by total wins/ overall record, (games played) then the winning percentage.

In A Ball top 3 except in Great Bend Zone, El Dorado and one other team:
