In your case at Sectional 33 that would mean that Andrean and Laville should be on opposite sides of the bracket and then blind draw the other 6 teams. Most of the time it is easy to figure out who are the 2 best, if there are 3 teams worthy then have the other 5 coaches vote. Yep! You are correct . . . . I should have put that in with the prior information. Top 2-3 teams in opposite sides of the bracket and then blind draw the remaining teams. as always, the game is better from_the_sidelines007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big question is how to would seeding be done? Based on records? Based on Strength of Schedule? Based on the sectional rank from the overall rating from the Sagarin Ratings? In looking at Sectional 33, which has Bremen and LaVille, along with Andrean, Hammond Noll, Lake Station, Wheeler, and Whiting, the finds were interesting to say the least. If SOS was used, the seeding would be: 1 - Andrean 2 - Bremen 3 - LaVille 4 - Whiting 5 - Wheeler 6 - Hammond Noll 7 - Lake Station If the Overall Rating From Sagarin was used, the seeding would be: 1.LaVille 2.Andrean 3.Bremen 4.Wheeler 5.Whiting 6.Lake Station 7.Hammond Noll If straight records were used, the seeding would be: 1.LaVille, 8-0 2.Andrean, 6-2 3.Bremen, 4-4 4.Whiting, 3-4* 5.Lake Station, 3-4* 6.Wheeler, 3-5 7.Hammond Noll, 0-7 *based on record v. teams within Sectional #33 With an odd number of teams, the #1 seed would get the bye. Then #2 v. #7, #3 v. #6, and #4 v. #5. The next question would be how to determine a home game to start the tournament? Would the lower number (2,3,4) be considered the home team? Anyone with an opinion? as always, the game is better from_the_sidelines007 As long as 2 best sagarin ranked team are on opposite sides of bracket I don’t care otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
