I. Membership
The North Dakota High School Activities Association is a voluntary non-profit
organization of the high schools of the State of North Dakota. All 185 schools
eligible for membership belong to the Association. Membership is granted
upon application of the School Board, at which time the school agrees to
enforce the rules which the members have established and to participate in the
legislative processes of modification and revision of rules to fit changing needs
of the member schools and students.
II. Purposes
To unify the high schools of the state in the promotion of pure amateur
sports, music and speech activities.
To standardize the eligibility rules and regulations under which
interscholastic contests are held.
To provide the schools of the state with sound and adequate programs of
extracurricular activities.
To promote the maintenance of standards which conform with the
educational objectives of the schools.
To improve standards of play and to develop understanding of rules
governing play.
To prevent the exploitation of the schools, the school activities, and the
students enrolled therein.
III. Brief History
The Activities Association was founded in 1908 under the name of the High
School League and originally was concerned only with athletics. In 1923
the state organization became affiliated with the National Federation of High
School Associations. A full-time executive director was employed in 1949, an
assistant was added in 1963, a girl’s sports supervisor in 1973, and a music
and speech coordinator in 1978.
In 1950 the Consolidated League, an organization of the smaller schools of the
state, affiliated with the High School League, thereby uniting all high schools
of the state under one organization. Music and speech activities were placed
under the direction of the Association in 1955, and the name was changed to
the North Dakota High School Activities Association at that time.
TOTAL ACTIVITIES ..........................45,619
Schools in the League were all one class for basketball competition from 1908
to 1932. A two-class system was used from 1933 to 1947 and three-class
system from 1948 to 1963. In 1964 the two-class system was restored and
this arrangement has been in effect since then up to the present time.
V. Registration of Officials and Interpretation Meetings
More than 1,334 officials are registered with the North Dakota High School
Activities Association. These men and women are furnished rule books for
the sports in which they officiate, and examinations are provided annually
in football, basketball, hockey, gymnastics, soccer, volleyball, and wrestling.
Upon meeting certain prescribed standards, the members advance from
“apprentice” officials, “registered” and finally to “certified” classifications.
Official state champions have been named in track since 1908 and in
basketball since 1914. Official champions in other sports were later added
as follows: golf and tennis 1938; baseball 1950; wrestling 1959; crosscountry 1961; hockey 1967; girls’ track, golf and tennis 1966; girls’ gymnastics
1969; girls’ basketball 1974; boys’ and girls’ swimming 1974. State football
championships were determined off and on between 1916 and 1959, when the
practice was discontinued, but again restored in 1975. Basketball tournaments
for girls were conducted by the Consolidated League for a number of years
and by the NDHSAA from 1952 to 1960, at which time they were discontinued
because of the small number of schools fielding teams. Girls’ basketball was
reinstated as an Association-sponsored activity in 1973 on a district level, with
separate state Class A and Class B championships being named since 1974.
Class A girls’ volleyball state champions were first named in 1984 and Class B
girls’ volleyball state champions were first named in 1989. Boys’ state soccer
champions were first named in 1995 and girls’ state soccer champions in
1996. Girls’ state hockey champions were first named in 2003.
During the past year, 60 rules interpretation meetings have been held
throughout the state, and more than 5,000 individuals attended these
meetings. Meetings were held for baseball, basketball, football, golf,
gymnastics, hockey, soccer, swimming, track, volleyball and wrestling.
VI. Cheerleader Clinics
The NDHSAA has recognized the importance of safety in cheerleading.
Because of this, the Association has added rules/safety clinics for head cheer
coaches of all member schools. These clinics recognize the importance of
informing cheer coaches of proper safety techniques as well as emphasizing
the responsibility of cheerleaders for sportsmanship and crowd control.
VII. Video Service
The Association maintains a library of videos on sports and fine arts and are
on file at the NDHSAA office and can be viewed by schools upon request.
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is conduct which imposes a type of self-control
involving honest rivalry, courteous relations and graceful acceptance
of results. School spirit is a reflection of those attitudes and behavior.
Spectator etiquette requires that we refrain from displaying any action
to taunt the opponent’s fan section such as carrying flags around the
court and stopping to taunt the opponent’s fan section. This may lead to
competition among observers which is mistakenly under the auspice of
good sportsmanship.
Spectators are asked to remain in their designated fan section.
Approaching the opponent’s fan section with the purpose of taunting and
baiting will not be tolerated. The carrying of flags around the court will
not be allowed.
Good sportsmanship shall be defined as those qualities which are
characterized by generosity and genuine concern for others. An
awareness is expected of the impact of an individual’s influence on
the behavior of others. Good sportsmanship is viewed as a concrete
measure of the understanding and commitment to fair play, ethical
behavior and integrity.

NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
OFFICIALS HALL OF FAME
DEL GAB
While Del Gab has established himself as one of the top multi-sport officials in North
Dakota history during the past 45 years, his contributions in the areas of recruitment,
training, mentoring and promotion of officiating at the local, state and national levels have
been equally impressive.
A native of South Dakota, Gab began his officiating career in 1957 in basketball with
the South Dakota High School Activities Association. He moved to North Dakota in
1960 and worked boys’ basketball until 1992. He also officiated girls basketball from
1973 to 1990. Gab’s post-season assignments in basketball included 14 boys’ district
tournaments, eleven boys’ and nine girls’ regionals, and three girls’ state tournaments.
Although he worked baseball and softball for a few years and was a track starter for
nine years, football became his sport of choice. He began football officiating in 1971
and remains active today. He has officiated 43 first-round and quarterfinal games, 21
semifinals and nine championship games in North Dakota. He officiated the first elevenman football championship game in North Dakota in 1976.
In addition to his high school assignments, Gab officiated college basketball from 1974
to 1992 and college football from 1975 to 1994, and for a final year in 1999.
More importantly than the games he has officiated, however, are the hundreds of new and
younger officials who have benefited from Gab’s leadership. He started the Rough Rider
Officials Association mentoring program in 1973 and continues with that program today.
He is a consultant for the North Dakota High School Association and assignor of officials
for playoff games in southwest North Dakota. He has been an observer and evaluator of
football and basketball officials for the past 25 years.
Gab was president of the North Dakota Officials Board for ten years and has served as
state director for the NFHS Officials Association since 1984. He was an NFHS Officials
Association board member from 1988 to 1993 and was president during the 1991-92
year. His most recent contribution to the NFHS has been his service as a member of the
NFHS Official’s Quarterly Publications Committee for seven years.
Gab earned his bachelor’s degree from Northern State University in Aberdeen, South
Dakota, and his master’s and doctorate from the University of North Dakota in Grand
Forks.
Among his awards, Gab has received an NFHS Officials Association Distinguished
Service Award in 1995 and the NFHS Citation for Officials in 1997.
Still active as an insurance agent and football coach, Gab resides in Dickinson, North
Dakota, with his wife Joyce.

STATE BASKETBALL TOURNAMENTS
CLASS A TOURNAMENT HISTORIES
It was the usual practice to have a drawing to determine first round state tournament opponents regardless of season
records. The governor of the state or some other official conducted a drawing for the state tournament teams from 1914
to 1940. The teams were seeded into tournaments according to season records.
State tournaments were held over two days from 1914 to 1937. Games began on Friday morning at 10:00, and
continued Friday afternoon and evening and Saturday morning, afternoon and evening. In the fall of 1937, the coaches
also recommended a three-day tournament format instead of a two-day tournament. This plan went into effect the following
year.
A challenge system developed in the Class A. Challenges from Class A schools lower in their divisions, and Class B
schools, were allowed to challenge from 1933 till 1940. In some cases, schools played more than one challenge game
in a season. The challenge had to be issued before December 31 each year. This was amended to January 21 in 1938.
A team could withdraw the challenge by January 31.
1914-1919: All high schools were eligible for a four team state tournament: Four regional champions
went to the state tournament. Approximately 20 teams played for the honor to enter into the state championship.
1919: Basketball was catching on. Four districts were firmly established: 36 teams played for the right to enter the state
tournament.
1920-1932: All high schools played in an eight team state tournament:
1920: Eight regional champions went to the state tournament. A total of 48 high schools played basketball in the eight
district tournaments.
1925: A total of 64 teams played for the right to participate in the state tournament.
1928: Sixteen sub-district tournaments were held, with playoffs between sub-districts within a district, for the right to play
in the state tournament.
1933: State A playoffs began: holding regional and state tournaments.
There were 9 teams in Class A basketball. They were: Minot, Mandan, Jamestown, and Bismarck played in the west.
Grand Forks, Devils Lake, Fargo, Wahpeton and Valley City played in the east. Enderlin challenged Valley City and
won.
1934: Playing this year were Grand Forks, Minot, Jamestown, Bismarck, Valley City, Mandan, Devils Lake, and Fargo.
There were three challenge games.
1935: Teams: Grafton, Fargo, Mandan, Valley City, Wahpeton, Minot, Devils Lake, and Bismarck. Five challenge games
were played.
1936: Twelve largest Class A schools (those over 250 students) played in the state tournament. Park River (Walsh
County), Wahpeton, Dickinson and Williston joined Class A ranks. The top seeded teams from the each region
received first round byes. Teams included: Bismarck, Devils Lake, Dickinson, Fargo, Grand Forks, Grafton,
Jamestown, Mandan, Minot, Valley City, Wahpeton, and Williston. Two challenge games were played.
1937: Coaches recommend reducing the state tournament to eight teams. Schools were drawn by lot to participate in the
state A tournament. Again, teams lower ranked the Class A or Class B schools could challenge those eight teams
that, by luck, were drawn for the state tournament. Some teams felt that the challenge system was nothing more
than a qualifying game for the state tournament. A total of two challenge games were played.
1938: The eight largest teams in Class A ranks. A total of six challenges were played. Larger Class B schools could issue
challenges, when and if they had won the opportunity to go to the state tournament. The smaller school at Hannah
challenged Williston and won.

1939-1940: The eight largest teams in Class A ranks. Osnabrock challenged Valley City and won. It was decided to
designate a certain number of Class A schools as Class B. The teams would have to stay in that classification for
two years.
1941-1946: An eight team tournament was established. Teams taking 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th place from the East and
West regionals would go to the state tournament.
1944-1946: An eight team state tournament was established. The state was divided into four districts.
Northwest; Minot, St. Mary’s, Williston, Minot St. Leo’s
Southwest; Bismarck, Dickinson, Mandan, Jamestown.
Northeast; Devils Lake, Grand Forks, Walsh County, Grafton
Southeast; Fargo, Sacred Heart, Wahpeton, Valley City
The top two teams from one division would play the lower two teams from the division. The winners advance to
the state tournament.
1947 to 1949: Four-team state tournament held. The first and second place East and West Division teams played in
the state tournament.
1950-60: Teams placing 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th place in the regional tournaments qualified for state.
East Region: Grand Forks, Park River, Wahpeton, Shanley, Valley City, Grafton, Fargo, Devils Lake
West Region: Dickinson, Williston, St. Mary’s, Jamestown, Rugby, Bismarck, Minot, Mandan
1961 to 1963: Southeast, Northeast and West Regions: Top two teams in SE and NE regions and top four teams from
West region automatically qualify for the state tournament.
