District Tournaments

In Reg. 2, Dist. 4, the teams that are currently ranked 6th and 7th have to play each other next week (Thursday) and only the winner of this game will compete in the District Tournament. Does anyone know if this is true? Are any other Districts doing the same thing? I'm referring to the Kingston Lady Jackets and the Anderson County Lady Mavs.

I think that's called a "district play-in game" ... meaning the winner will have to win another game to guarantee a region spot.

 

 

 

YEAH THAT'S WHAT IT IS -- THE SIXTH AND SEVENTH PLAY FIRST ---

 

ONE AND TWO GET A BYE ---

 

DOES ANYBODY KNOW THE RATIONALE BEHIND THIS --

 

IT SEEMS TO ME THE ONLY TEAM TRULY BENEFITING IS THE NUMBER TWO SEED -- WHO GETS AUTOMATIC BID TO THE REGION ----

 

NUMBER TWO SEED IS NO LONGER RISKING GETTING BEAT IN THE FIRST ROUND -- WHICH STATISTICALLY SPEAKING THEY TYPICALLY WIN OVER A SEVENTH SEED, BUT MIRACLES DO HAPPY

 

SO AGAIN -- WHY IS THIS HAPPENING??

...I like the rule about the #1 & #2 getting a bye to the Region...they played during the Regular season and they are awarded...the only time it might have an issue is when the #2 & #3 seed have the same District record and it is determined by a coin flip...other than that as the 'ole sayin' goes>>>"That's the breaks"!!!

Other districts have play in games as well. 7v 10 with the winner playing 2. 8v9 with winner playing 1. The regular season is important. When you have a 10 team district and you finish 1 or 2 after 18 regular season contests you have proven you should be in the region.

 

 

 

i respect your comments ---

 

but tell that to the three four and five teams -- who beat the one and two -- and just happen to fall in other places that season ---

 

i really don't think anybody deserves an automatic right to the region - but that's just my opinion --

 

the number one seed is the ncaa doesn't go directly to the final four ---

 

but again -- no one has answered my question

 

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?????

7AA is doing the exact same thing my man. The last two teams as far as record goes play each other for the right to play in the tournament. I think this is fair. The regular season should mean something. The worst team in the district doesn't deserve to play in the District Tournament.

Then why call it a "District Tournament"?? If each team in a District, isnt allowed to play in the actual district tournament, its simply a tournament to see who goes on to the Region. As for giving the top 2 teams a bye into the Region, thats crazy! Thats the purpose of the District Tournament, to decide which 4 teams go to the Region so they can make a run towards the state. Based on some of the previous post who believe the top two teams in a district automatically go to the Region, then just cancel all the tournaments except the actual State Championship. Just take the top two district teams from each district and send them to the boro. Oh I forgot, TSSAA has to get their money!!

Well then why don't you come up with a bracket where everybody has to play and its all even... Well let me tell you: You won't. Unless you have a round-robin, which would probably take two weeks, which means the T$$AA gets MORE $$$. So what you want contradicts what you are saying. If you want everyone to have to play for the region, more games will HAVE to be played, which means more money will be put into the T$$AA's pocket... A round-robin is the only thing that'll work if you want everyone to play in, and let me ask you something: Isn't the regular season two round-robins? Cause everyone plays everyone twice. So you want another round-robin, so lets just have everyone play each other 3 times in the regular season, and just take the top four in the standings to Regions, and do away with Districts... And another thing, the distict brackets aren't determined by the T$$AA. They are made up at the coaches meeting. So if you want to gripe at someone about the brackets, you should gripe to your daughter's coach.

Yes. In districts with only five teams, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place are garunted a spot in the regions. 4th and 5th play in a play in game. Winner of that gets to regions. Then they play a bracket format for seedings in the regions.

Why not give a bye in District Tournaments to the higher seeded teams, which would allow the last place team to at least compete in the district tournament? Its not about whether or not a last place seeded team in the district would beat anyone, its about the Opportunity!

Come on now you don't honestly think that if your team finishes last in the district that they will make past maybe two games do you? Be sensible, the brackets will never satisfy anyone completely, so if this is what TSSAA decides to do then just roll with it. This also puts more meaning in the season.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
