The brackets WERE set up for the losers from yesterday to play today, but during a coach's meeting held last week, the coaches voted 3-1 (two coaches were not there) that the first set of losers should go down to the loser's bracket and wait for the second set of losers to play. According to what the coaches wanted, this prevented someone who lost the first game to last longer in the tournament than someone who won first round. And all winners get TOMORROW OFF, before the finals. The only true mistake I can see in the bracket is the fact that Watertown had to play Friendship for their second game instead of TCHS.. And Friendship had to play Watertown first game instead of Westmoreland. But for Watertown, a game against either FCS OR TCHS was going to be a hard game... And you can say whatever you want about the brackets being set up for FCS and TCHS to go on, but FCS had a DOG FIGHT to beat Watertown today, so if you ask me, no matter how the brackets are set up, you still have to win to advance... And I think in this district, Watertown, FCS, OR Trousdale could do that...
You are right, those numbers are just backwards according to the bracket in the paper... The loser of 7 plays the winner of game 8...
