AAA Pairings

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree here. You want to play the best teams, but not in the first round. Take this past year's NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament for instance. You wouldn't have wanted Kansas and Memphis to play each other in the first round because then there wouldn't have been the incredible championship game there was. I know that's probably not the best comparison, but to have what would've been the two lowest seeds play each other in the first round and then have what would've been the #2 and #4 seeds play each other in the first round seemed a little foolish to me.

 

The teams are #2 & #4 in your heart.

 

If each team played the same schedule, then the rankings would have a little more weight.

The teams are #2 and #4 according to eurosportscoreboard.com

So, what your saying is, the teams should be seated based on the rankings.

 

Can you share any other year it has been done this way?

 

I can see that this year, it would benefit you. Would you feel the same way if it didn't? As each of the teams play very few common opponents, do you think the rankings are always accurate?

The one thing that seems constant in this bracketing is that they seem to insure that two teams from the same district will not meet until the finals. Personally, I feel that preserving this may have greater weight in order to protect the reality that one district could have the #1 & #2 teams.

Perhaps you could make it a point to talk to your coach and make sure that each of the other seven teams are on your schedule for the upcoming year.

The pairing worked out for the best with Brentwood and Houston on oppsite sides of the bracket. They have been the two best teams in the state all year and should meet in the finals and not in the earlier rounds.

 

Go Houston!

[Canesoverhere]

Exactly. The best two teams, according to the format of this tournament, are playing in the final.

 

I would agree, these are the best two teams this year and it should be a great match. Best of luck to both teams.

Brentwood won in golden goal. Not a very good one but a goal.
