5 match rule? How will it effect region tourneys?

No problem.

The old region V had 24 teams. We were forced to turn the tournament into a 2 day event. In order to guarantee the 5 match rule is in place, TSSAA should stipulate to the regions the bracket they should use and the dates they should have the tourney.

 

Point of historical accuracy: Old Region V was a two-day tournament from the first year it was designated as such by the TSSAA beginning in the 1989-90 season. Region III was the predecessor of the former Regions V, VI, and VII. It was a two-day tournament from year of designation through the 1988-89 season. The Region III of the 1970s and 1980s was preceeded by Region II from mid-1960s into the early 1970s when there were only two regions in the state. Region II of those early years held a two-day tournament to qualify for the State also.

 

Summation: Old Region V and its predessors always held two-day tourrnaments.
