2017 KYMSFA MSFB Playoffs

Bracket meeting is this Saturday.

Looking to be a packed house this year, specifically in 7th grade if all the teams participate.

Win Loss forms due today by noon.

Does that mean the brackets will be set Saturday?

WOW, the reigning champs, undefeated, are ranked lower than 2 other teams in their district and they beat 1 of them and the other 1 did not play them????? That just doesn't seem right? What am I missing here?

Who are you referring to?

Seeding is based on who you beat blintz who beat you. So if you won against a lot of D1 teams and the undefeated team beat a bunch of D3 then the first team would be the higher seed.

So Newburg was undefeated and beat JCTMS and for some reason did not play Johnson (all three are in same district) but they are the 3 seed and JCTMS is 2 and Johnson is 1?

I agree that there needs to be more that goes into the seeding process. Currently it is only based off the points you get for wins based off the class those opponents are in. Most middle schools are only playing around 8 games and if you are in a large conference you have to play your conference opponents. You have no choice if those are D1, D2, or D3 opponents. To me if 2 teams are both placed in the same region, Team 1 is undefeated and team 2 has 1 loss and it is against Team 1 then there is no way that team 2 should be seeded higher which seems to be the case for Newburg. Not only is it unfair to them it is also unfair to the teams that matchup with them. They have to play a much higher quality opponent earlier in the tournament than they should have to. For the record i'm not involved with Newburg so I have no dog in the fight. Teams also don't get punished for losses.

Defending champ should have zero bearing on seeding since these are either 7th or 8th grade teams and the teams are or at least should be completely new each season.

Any word on the updated bracket?

Scores from last nights games:

How do you score 72 points in 8 minute quarters with a running clock?! I mean wow!

Too many teams make the playoffs. Need to reduce it down to the small numbers. Everybody gets a trophy.

Did I do it right? That's what we say during the high school postseason so I wanted to get ahead of everyone else. :lol2:

Saw it happen last year in a game, team scored 82 points, granted the other team scored 28 I believe, so it was 68 to 28 when the running clock started in the 4th quarter.
