The teams won their respective sub-conferences and will play each other at 1 p.m. Saturday for the top seed for the playoffs. Fairview will host. The winner of Saturday's game will have home-field advantage throughout the playoffs until the neutral-site championship, which will be played in Billings or Laurel on Nov. 23.

Circle will travel to Ekalaka in the East matchup between second seeds, and Plentywood will visit Culbertson in the game between the two No. 3 seeds. Lodge Grass will also play at Forsyth and Broadus will play at St. Labre.

The complete schedule for the 8-Man East inter-division seeding games is below. Updates to the schedule were announced on Tuesday, with Plentywood and Culbertson agreeing to a 2 p.m. kickoff, while Broadus has forfeited its game at St. Labre due to lack of players.
