There can be an argument made

..as to why we had a 3 team playoff just for a tourney seed (still think it was money racket and folks had best hope that JJK and Appy don't pull "upsets" tomorrow,thus totally blowing things out of the water),but good luck convincing me that there is a need for consolation games. Both the Lady Raiders and Lady Green Wave will play for 3rd place in a meaningless game. The game was rendered so when both teams were eliminated from postseason play tonight. What is there to play for? The only argument that can be made is to give the girls (especially #24 for the Wave-been a pleasure watching her play over the last few years) a last hurrah,but we all know this is about money. J.J.K HS will benefit from 2 more communities paying for tickets and concessions on championship night, but that 3rd place game is going to be 2 teams with nothing to play for hitting the floor. I don't mind the bigger and better tourney deal,but it's hard to argue for a consolidation game.

Also, congrats to the Lady Indians from the Reservation for doing their usual thing and punching a ticket to the title game,and the PV Lady Vikings for continuing to show that they are arriving as a program by stunning the Wave. This league is not going to have a bad squad next year. We are lucky to have the quality of coaches that we have in the league (even Ol' Goforth,even if he doesn't see eye to eye with me here :/. Him and Day at PV have really made an impact)

i'm not sure how single A works...but in AA in the River Ridge District, Pulaski Co. finished tied for first in the season but lost tonight in the semi's to Blacksburg so we're having a consolation game with Salem to see who moves on to regionals

I completely forgot about this new mess that we have. My bad friends. The Wave and Raiders are still kickin' (guess with this new deal,pretty much everybody and their little brother gets in)

Whatta clusterfu%%

There has to be a third place game because there has to be a clear cut 3rd place finisher to determine who gets the 9 points and who gets 4.

Understand that now.
just forgot

Good luck deciphering this new system

I think I have gotten a pretty good grasp on it, the 3 way ties in the LPD and CD make it a little tougher though.

Seems that this new system is going to reward alot of mediocrity.

Making the regional tournament is no longer something to be proud of.

Yeah, someone didn't think it through.

When a tournament of 6 is increased to 16 and there are only 23 teams competing, somebody needed some money.

It reminds me of the TN football,where you have weak teams with losing records rewarded with berths. The only difference is they have too few in regions and we have too many.
