Anyone know how home vs away is determined after the 1st round of bracket play?

From CIF-SS bylaws:

3204. HOST TEAM AFTER THE FIRST ROUND
To decide who shall be the host team after the first round of competition in any sport will be the sole responsibility of the Commissioner. In cases where two teams are paired after the first round of the playoffs, the team having the fewest number of host games in playoff competition shall be designated as the host team. When both teams have had an equal number of host playoff contests, the Commissioner shall toss a coin to decide the host team. When a school has been designated as the host school for a playoff contest it shall (1) act in that capacity unless excused by the Commissioner, (2) be considered the host team regardless of where the game is being played, and (3) a “bye” designation shall not count as a host contest for the team drawing the “bye” following the first round and throughout the remainder of the tournament.

3204.1 Teams receiving a bye in the first round shall be the host team in the next round of the playoffs.
