Time to do away with the "sub states"...

Everyone play everyone. That way single a church league players can play real teams.

Now now...you need to get in touch with your PC side...even single A church league teams deserve a chance at a trophy.

Maybe that is what I am really trying to say...the 8 teams that make it to the Boro aren't necessarily the best teams.

They may not be the eight "best" teams. But they are the ones who made it. In tournament time, that's all that matters. Besides, it's very likely that the best team is among the eight who made it.

The only change I would make to the current format is to get rid of districts and regionals at 1 location. This leads to some unnecessary travel and some empty gyms. Higher seed hostS. If you get 2 #1 seeds in region finals then alternate years between the district.

I believe each district is allowed to set up their tournaments as they see fit. For example, this season District 11 AAA had all of their games at Centennial. But District 10 AA played their games at the higher seeds until the semi-finals. Both regions (6AAA and 5AA) switch which district will host the regional tournaments.

The district tournament is put on by each individual district to decide who goes to region.

 

Only thing I would change is I wish they would only take 3 from each district into the regionals. That way the consolation game really means something.

Totally agree. This would stop teams from throwing games which happens more often than people think.

Plenty of single A teams do fine against AAA teams. I remember one year when Pickett County was unbeaten and so was White County in AAA and they met in a Christmas tournament at Livingston. It went into overtime with White County winning on a last second shot. They weren't called for goal tending on PC's final shot, got the rebound and made their last shot. In girls' this year the PC girls beat every AA and AAA team they played. Just because you keep saying A is church league doesn't make it true.

Don't ruin a good system. Making the Sub-State is a big deal and should be kept. Several years ago TSSAA messed with the playoffs and quickly went back to the much better Sub-State.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I remember that year. In girls BBall Jackson Co. was #3 out of the district. Went to super  regional played at McMinn highschool gym and lost to McMinn Central in the final, and went to the 'boro as #2. That was the first of a 4 year championship run.
