    Sectional Draw 2023

    I don't think this is necessarily true.  My boys play LOTS of travel baseball as well.  The biggest reason that we care about pool play is not getting stuck with the 8:00 am game on Sunday and maybe playing one less game on Sunday if you get one of the byes.  Outside of that, the boys like it for the "prestige" of saying that they were ranked #*whatever*.  Ultimately, when the parents and coaches talk Saturday night about what's coming Sunday, invariably, the statement is always made, "It doesn't really matter where we get seeded because we have to win them all tomorrow to get the championship." 

    Those two things are pretty important.

    In regard to USSSA rules, Saturday is a little irrevelent if you consider some teams save pitching for Sunday and maybe you're down to your 3rd pitcher because you wanted an earlier seed and they saved theirs for the last game. My son was on a team and their coach was great at predicting when Sunday would be a washout. He'd burn his best pitchers to get the #1 seed and get a ring because Sunday was canceled.

    Lmao you obviously don't know me. 

    I'll take I won the argument since you've resorted to (wrong) ad hominem attacks. 

    Literally not a single person on this thread agrees with you and you think you've won an argument.

    I'll say this, if you have coached anything, it's hard to tell.

    Then win the games in front of you.

    Even then, we're talking about max 2 weeks extra development. And how much time are coaches going to spend working with young guys when they have playoff games to prepare for? In my experience, most coaches focus less on their young guys as the season moves deeper into the playoffs. The playoffs are not about developing younger players on your team. 

    You've obviously never coached anything.

    My point is that development should be happening during the season, when the coach knows he has practices and games. If we did away with the all-in, I would not be opposed to seeding the tournament. But with the current format I do not see the need to seed. 

    And my point is more development can happen when your season is longer.

    If you're playing the other best team in your Sectional, isn't that the de facto Sectional Championship? Again, seems like its really only a semantic issue. If a team is that shook up about losing in the de facto Sectional Championship as opposed to the official Sectional Championship, I think they've got their priorities in the wrong place. 

     

    Is it the IHSAA's responsibility to ensure more reps for Freshmen/Sophomores, or is it the coach's? The IHSAA's responsibility in this is to run a football tournament in the most expedient way possible. 

    Well the coach can't practice with any of his kids once the season ends. So it's kinda out of his hands.

    My kids do a lot of travel baseball, softball, and basketball. The organization that runs the tournament, seeds the tournament based on pool play. This happens in every single tournament. I doubt anyone would sign up for a tournament if the organization said, You will play pool play Saturday for no reason then we will randomly put you in a bracket. It's easy to seed a tournament.

    What a tragedy they have to play a team one week earlier than they otherwise would’ve. 

    Exactly. Don’t think teams care whether they lost round 1 or in the sectional title game. 

    I agree I don't think teams care if they lost in round 1 or in a sectional title game but that's not the point. You get very few games in football. The teams that are better, should be rewarded with more games. Those freshmen and sophomores that may not play a lot of varsity but those extra weeks of practice that teams get when they advance are a huge advantage for those kids and their development.
