Where is live its the same. I just know that in that time frame when I was a youth coach that some bigger schools went to that. The last year I coached 5th and 6th grade football, that 5th grade class is SRs today.

A lot of bigger Schools went to this "tackle bar" system at the lower levels up through JR High for a few years, so some these classes didnt learn to tackle in game until there freshman year. Could 100% contribute to poor tackling and for sure how physical they are. I was youth coach in...

Pretty broad statement. While I kind of agree the last 2 high level recruits that chose the UofM schools dont have hockey amd there are several guys in the NBA rightnow from MN. But I do agree if we didnt have hockey MN would probably be higher in talent level pool

I reread your posts. You state that we are getting the right champions. And I agree. But there are no posts on why trying to get the best 8 at the quaters is a poor idea. Just that you won your region of MN and that means you are one of the best 8. Which is false. The current format in your...

I dont think that anyone has made a post giving reasons why its a bad idea, just like your above post that you just think it's a bad idea. Maybe I'm wrong on that? I think a rebracket at 16 gets a better chance at the best 8 in the quarters. I feel some of the #2 seeds in some sections are far...

I probably am. But that could have to do with how MN runs its post season. Where football is more popular, they dont run things even remotely close to how it is done here. Maybe it wouldn't help, but not trying, and keeping the status quo will produce in the same results. I am always trying to...

Because having entertaining games should drive the sport up, drive up competion, participation. Having continuous blowouts during the state tournament keeps casuals away, keeps teams from participation if the incoming freshamn see the best team a town has ever had get smoked by 40 in the...

Other states that I have friends that coach in use a system similar to our sections but use those in this fashion #1 seed from conference A (section 1)1 plays #4 seed from conference d (section 5) and so on they put #2 seeds in areas of the bracket where you wont meet up until way late in the...

Pretty good argument to seed at the section championship games or earlier (going to a 32 team playoff) like a lot of other states do. And again its not an argument that we don't get the right champion, but an argument for more great games along the path to get there. Teams can get hot after a...

Of the months of posts in this thread about game theory, class sizes, great games and debate topics, this is what you choose to take the time to post on?

Kind of taking what I have been saying the entire time out of context. First off I would like to see the best 8 teams at the quarter final level. To get the best 8 teams to the quarterfinals a seeding at 16 is what I have been arguing for the entire time. You could call that round of 16 what...

How does your statement make the 16 team bracket not an even better idea then? I keep seeing people make arguments against it and your statements are actually proving why its a good idea... All of you keep saying that these teams deserve a shot, I would like to see 8 more in the bracket and...

I dont have I don't have time to run through every sport and every section... 6A is also completely different set up in football... But a quick look through baseball and its a high majority in the lowest class to use QRF, same with class A in basketball so unless Soccer or tennis its 100%...

Currently 9P 7 qrf seeded sections A 5 qrf seeded sections 2A 5 qrf seeded sections 3A 8 qrf seeded sections 4A 3 qrf seeded sections 5A 2 qrf seeded sections So 30 of the 48 sections use qrf to seed for the section brackets in football

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...
