Here is a look at all of the potential playoff and tiebreaker scenarios. Teams in Districts 1, 2, and 3 have one week of regular season play remaining while schools in Districts 4, 5, and 6 have started their play-in round games, meaning that the scenarios listed for District 4, 5, and 6 are now null and void.

Clinched Playoff Berth
Kendrick Tigers
Deary Mustangs

One week remains in the White Star League and only one game remains that has any sort of playoff implications: Deary vs. Kendrick for the conference championship. Both teams have already qualified for state. Here are the scenarios:
If Deary beats Kendrick
Deary finishes first and takes seed 1-2A, Kendrick finishes second and takes seed 1-2B.

One week remains in the regular season for the Sawtooth West Conference and all teams are still in contention. Only two teams have officially clinched a playoff spot (Dietrich & Carey). It should be noted that the four berths to the state tournament are really to the play-in round of the playoffs.
This week, Dietrich hosts Carey and Lighthouse Christian hosts Castleford. Camas County has completed their regular season slate of games. Here are the scenarios:
If Dietrich beats Carey and Lighthouse Christian beats Castleford
Dietrich finishes first and takes seed 4A, Carey finishes second and takes seed 4B, Lighthouse Christian finishes third and takes seed 4C, Camas County finishes fourth and takes seed 4D, and Castleford misses the playoffs.
If Dietrich beats Carey and Castleford beats Lighthouse Christian
Dietrich finishes first and takes seed 4A, Carey finishes second and takes seed 4B, and there is a 3-way tie for third place between Lighthouse Christian, Camas County, and Carey.
This tie would be broken via a 3-way Kansas City Playoff on Monday, October 24th at a neutral location. The winner of the Kansas City Playoff would earn seed 4C, second place in the playoff would earn seed 4D, and the loser of the playoff would miss the state tournament.
If Carey beats Dietrich and Lighthouse Christian beats Castleford
Carey finishes first and takes seed 4A, Dietrich finishes second and takes seed 4B, Lighthouse Christian finishes third and takes seed 4C, Camas County finishes fourth and takes seed 4D, and Castleford misses the playoffs.

Butte County Pirates
Rockland Bulldogs
Clark County Bobcats - seed 5-6D
Eliminated
Watersprings Warriors
One week remains in the regular season for the Sawtooth East Conference and all teams are still in contention. The four berths to the state tournament have already been claimed, with Watersprings on the outside looking in. North Gem is the conference champion and Clark County can't improve on their 1-3 conference record, but holds the tiebreaker with Watersprings meaning that the Bobcats are locked into the fourth seed from the conference. It should be noted that the four berths to the state tournament are really to the play-in round of the playoffs.
This week, North Gem hosts Watersprings and Butte County is at Rockland. Here are the scenarios:
If Butte County beats Rockland
Butte County finishes second and takes seed 5-6B and Rockland finishes third and takes seed 5-6C.
If Rockland beats Butte County
Rockland finishes second and takes seed 5-6B and Butte County finishes third and takes seed 5-6C.
