purple75gold Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 How can the t$$aa possably justify sending a district champion to a different quad and making them a 3 seed. Then having the runner up in their natural quad 3 as a 2 seed. Plus there are three teams that would have shorter travel in the second round. If I were Lawrence I would be throwing the biggest fit possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedRealist Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Per TSSAA handbook: After the 32 teams have qualified for the playoffs they will be geographically grouped into four eight-team quads. This grouping will be done without regard to district/region alignments. So they are not supposed to look to see who won this district or who came in 2nd - when placing them in quads - its strictly geographically.Then once they are in quads the district winners get seeded first then runner up.

BigRed, it amazes me every year (but especially this year) how much trouble some people have understanding this really very simple principle. NO one got. screwed this year!! The eight most westerly of the 32 qualified teams ended up in Quadrant 4 just as they were supposed to be placed.Lawrenceburg High School,s longitude is 87.3158 degrees West :Kenwood High School, the most western of the qualified Clarksviille schools is 87.2618 degrees West.. This means that Lawrenceburg is 0.05 degree more west than Kenwood. GOP BIG RED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest randy72 Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 If you think no one got screwed you have your head buried in the sand. Or you must be a member of the TSSAA. Every year some team gets shafted in this ridiculous system they have in place. Then you have teams like Tullahoma who got blown out by Lawrence Co., then got blown out by Lincoln Co., and they make the playoffs. I hope someday the TSSAA will change this system, but I am not confident in any thing they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkH Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Randy72, what if there were 9 eligible teams in your natural quad and you somehow were #9 according to the tiebreaker standings. If they don't move you, you don't make the playoffs. The goal is to get the top 32 teams and once you do that, then you seed them. Next year you won't have to worry about it because the TSSAA has changed the system and gone back to the old way. Top 4 in each league make the playoffs. Want a home game? Finish first or second. If you don't, then you can't complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest randy72 Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Glad they are going back to the old way. That was a more fairer system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bounder Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) Get over it! At least their in the playoffs instead of getting ready for basketball! They could be sitting at home next friday night. Win and there's no big deal. Edited November 2, 2014 by bounder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been all over CoachT as well as any sporting news outlet for over a year about the change coming next year. But neither this year, nor next year will reward one team over another team for "blowing an opponent out" to get a higher seed or preference for a quadrant. Lawrence County gets a home game, not a screwing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest randy72 Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 I wasn't implying that teams get a better seed for blowing out an opponent. I was just giving example of how screwed up the system is. And I have been keeping up with the news. I don't pretend to be an intellectual like some people on here do.

TF38478 Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 No they shouldn't reward a team for a blow out. But they should reward teams for a fine regular season. Other wise the 10 games are useless. Don't think lc is whining just voicing a dislike in there placement. Don't think it matters where a team is placed in playoffs. But it is is a injustice when a team defeats a team and is placed as a lower seed. Not that it matters Henry county couse there is a purple and gold train a coming. Good luck to y'all with mundord.
