Its definitely not perfect. I was just using it as a tool. But I think almost all sections use it, for all sports.

Easiest way to av Easiest way to avoid it all is a straight QRF seed. Its non bias and most sections are in a straight QRF seeding format already. If a tie breaker is needed it could be as easy as head to head Record Vs Like opponents Strength of schedule - Total win percentage of the teams...

Reading through all those posts to then take the time to correct an auto correct mistake must be VERY time consuming

So getting a 16 team State tournament seems to fit into the more tickets thing then not? I imagine there are several teams who have never played in a state tournament... Travel isn't a huge factor IMHO in a state tournament game. Communities are going to support them as long as its not a 4...

I think you guys are all missing the point. I want to see GREAT games in the state tournament. I think we get the correct state champs, but the state isn't awarded with the games we should or could get at the highest level. But I guess we can continue to hand out participation trophies to all...

Maple Grove was not advanced to the championship becasue in 6A at the quarter finals you are getting probably the best 8 teams. Now in the section play that the rest of the state has to play by you are advancing teams to the championship game. Grand Rapids last game is also a great example of...

I think that the need was shown in the post you quoted Maxy... no reason to have a team who is the second best team in the state by a large margin be eliminated in the section championship. That minniota BOLD game was epic and what everyone was forced to see in the championship game was...

My conclusion is they were better than 7 of the other teams that you claimed to deserve a shot to be state champions last year and your reasoning to keep them out is they are in the wrong area of the state

How is it not. BOLD leads Minneota all game until 4 minutes left in section champioship last season. They dont deserve to be in state tournament an show they are 2nd best team in MN, or maybe they are 1 play better a couple weeks down the raod and win the champioship. But a team who gets...

Once you get to the top 16 in the lower clases there is a lot of crossover things to look at. Several of these teams only play a couple section games and then when you are looking at top 2 from each section there is definitely enough to say this section is very tough, this one looks pretty weak...

Again I dont understand the stance of not trying to get the best 8 to quater finals? You are all for being hard on the weren't good enough be be state champ so you dont deserve the chance to be in the state tournament. But then take the stance that you deserve a shot if you are the best team...

Why are you so in favor of not getting the best 8 teams to quarters? Serious question Seems like a "we dont keep score" in this league stance

Anyone getting beat by 50 in the quarters is weak, and maybe if they were in another section they go 3-5... look at section 5A, they went 1-5 vs section 6A including their champion taking a loss... USA in section 6 might have been 4-4 and not 7-1. You are most certainly getting weak teams from...

SO you lose a section championship on last second and you are just fine saying we arent good enough, go ahead let schmuckville have a shot just to get beat by 50. Definitely insane. AND being an alum of a team in your scenario also isn't what I was talking about. Anyone on that team who could...

you are arguing to keep weak teams in a tournament to crown the best team, that's a loser mentality... let's not have the 2nd best team in the state at the state tournament but let's replace them with the 17th best just becasue they fall geographicly where id like to see a team come from.

I probably chose my words wrong. Class a almost always has a top 4 teamn left out. Your not winning section championship means you didn't deserve a chance to be in the top 8 is absolutely insane. Look at BOLD the last few seasons. Easily a top 2 team. And I bet if you were on the team who was...

Make it make sense though... Was there a vote in class 5A-9P to move to the same format as 6A? Was there a vote in 5A-9P to seed 1-16? Why does 6A get to vote on things while the majority of the state gets bent over the barrel by the MSHSL? Why would anyone want the 2nd best team in a class...

Just goes to show again the poll voters don't know squat... Also shows how the format should be redone and that every region from MN doesn't need a repetitive at the quarter final level. In class A probably 2 or maybe even up to 4 the top 10 teams are not in the state tournament when you...

Why are the announcers that do the NSPN games unaware how the brackets work. Last year I gave them a break because of the new system, but you would think the MSHSL would have given these guys some talking points about the crossovers. Each game I watch they keep running through the brackets and...

Yes. I know. I'm not saying that after the section finals that you just call up a school and tell them they are hosting... We already know who the host schools are in the spring. I also understand not all schools are able to host each game and 9 player keeps getting bought up for some reason...
