New York state high school boys basketball championships

Following a 45-year ban on high school basketball state championship tournaments in New York State, the State Education Department granted approval in 1978 for the first boys Federation tournament to be conducted on an experimental basis. The original boys tournament was named the Super Sixteen tournament, as the four associations (NYSPHSAA, PSAL, CHSAA and NYSAISAA) competed in four classes, based primarily on student-body size. The four classes were called AAA, AA, A and B in 1979. From 1981 through 2003, the four classes were called A, B, C and D. ==Venues==

After the first two tournaments were held in Syracuse and Rochester in 1979 and 1980, ==Classifications==

For 2015, the NYSPHSAA classification enrollment cutoffs were as follows, counting the number of 9th, 10th and 11th grade students in the previous scholastic year (enrollment is doubled for all-boys schools): • Class AA: 910 and more • Class A: 480-909 • Class B: 280-479 PSAL, CHSAA and NYSAISAA have their own classification systems, not tied directly to student enrollments. A school may elect to play in a higher classification, but may not elect to play in a lower classification. ==Winners and runners up==
