Does anyone have information on the bracket situation? What is the format going to be like this year? Also does anyone know when the championship game will be played? Like what time on Friday?

Ooops. Page three is for DII. I'm still not used to them having A and AA.

 

The first page has the DI information.

WOW. Division I remains the same, with the sectional format and 8 teams arriving at State proper.

 

Division II is having a quarterfinal playoff at the higher seed's site; only 4 teams proceed to State as we know it. Double elimination tournament with the top 4 A and top 4 AA. Very interesting.

The quaterfinal playoff will consist of best 3 out of 5 and thats it? Am i understanding that correctly? So couple of east/ middle teams will have to travel out to Memphis and Memphis will have to come to east/midddle for best 3 out of 5? Then the winners of those games will travel to Murfreesboro. Thanks for all your help!

Correct that's how it is in D-II this year. To take it to the worst possible drive Knox Webb and a Memphis team could easily have to play a best of 5 match. 10-12 hours of driving for a 1 1/2 hour to 2 hour match.

Shockingly correct. Where the logic is in this, especially considering a Memphis to Chattanooga possibility, beats me. I may "represent" TSSAA on the court, but I sure don't understand many of their moves.

 

I can appreciate the "sectional" style of lineup here, but the potential drive is outrageous. I suppose this is why it's being held on a Saturday (at 7 pm, even, if my information is correct).
