The state quarterfinals are actually played at school sites. Only the semifinals and finals are at Lipscomb. In division two there is a real prize if you stay out of losers bracket games. Once you get to Nashville it is still bracketed. There is no redraw like there is in the D1 tournament when they hit Murfreesboro. In D2 the bracket rotates a little bit every year as well to keep matchups fresh

I agree D2 is a little strange, but it get easier to decipher because every sport (except football) uses the same exact State XII bracket. Region tournaments each determine seeds 1 thru 4, then they are placed in a standard bracket. Each of the 1 seeds gets a bye to state quarters and one of the 2 seeds gets a bye as well. This rotates on a 3 year schedule and East #2 gets it this year. They also have a few exceptions that prevent teams from having to travel 400 miles to play a game (for example USJ baseball played CAK in State XII last year at Middle #1 which was Friendship Christian). One other caveat is for baseball and softball, first round of State XII is single game, but State Quarters are best of 3. 

Taking this week for example, each team that won on Tuesday is guaranteed at least 3 more games including a State XII or State Quarters game. Adding a little more confusion, each of the 3 regions determines its own plan to find seeds 1-4. Middle always plays districts then region. West has one big region tourney.

Why are a lot of these games at 4:00? Don’t understand. Are we that short of refs here that they have to double up?

There’s 4 games tonight at USJ.  Last game tonight is at 8:30.  That’s the reason for early games.  Boys and girls are both playing.

Know TCA plays at USJ at 4:00 today and Goodpasture is at CPA today at 4:00. Don’t get me to lying on how they determine the brackets and times. Know Carrol Academy is tough in Middle TN as well as is The King’s Academy in East TN. Harding and Tipton Rose play soon too. I think there are 12 left. Don’t know 100% if they are do or die games either.

Not do or die. Region basically sets up seeding for substate.  All four teams advance.  TCA vs USJ for round three of rivalry at 4 pm and then Harding and TRA at 7 pm.  Boys play between and afterwards.
