According to some screwy glitch in this year's playoffs, one team in the third district gets to have a bye and one team gets to play the #5 team from the Northern KY district. However, #1 PRP DOES NOT GET THE BYE.....for some reason, the KHSAA is giving the BYE to the #2 seed Butler and making #1 PRP play Boone County....

 

Supposedly winning the district is supposed to give a team the easiest way to advance to the next round, but this year, being the district runner up in 6A-District 3 gives you an edge over the district champion....

 

Do you hear the laughing coming down Dixie Highway in Louisville?

Dixie Highway will from Northern Kentucky will not take you to Louisville. US 42 will take you there or 71 South just saying.

There several different roads, in multiple states, named "Dixie Highway."

No, just the sound of cars crashing followed by sirens. Normal day on Dixie Highway.

Yea I forgot there is a Dixie Highway in the Ville.

Whatever it takes for PRP to get passed the 2nd round of the playoffs for the first time. Whatever fuel they can use . If its not X Male or T there in the 2nd round then its a fully rested Butler .

PRP football forever !

This seems flawed, no matter how the system, someone loses out. I would just use it as motivation and keep on pressing forward. However we all know that in 6A, the road goes through one national powerhouse and you have to beat them to get yourself a ring.

In my mind this just proves that the KHSAA has a bad case of cranio-rectitus sometimes.

I thought there were exactly 4 teams in each district in 6A and 1A. That is why 2A - 5A has some districts with 6 teams now. Basically everyone in 1A and 6A makes playoffs where other classes that is not the case.

OK I read the KHSAA justification for this on KHSAA.org and it does make some sense. When they decided to take the 5th place team from NKY it was with the stipulation that they would always play a 1 seed in round 1. This is a 1 time only scenario.

It would have been an easy fix if they would have rejustified before the season and said there would be a 2 vs 5 matchup... everyone new coming into the season this was going to happen. Should have changed it at the beginning. They didn't want to reward a 5 seed with playing a 2 seed... so they punished the 1 seed. Makes a lot of sense.

The Battle For Second Place....

And some poor hapless school gets to play Trinity at Marshall Stadium. Makes a ton of sense to me :scared:

AT, can you repost that justification here. I want to make sure both sides are represented.

From 10/22/12 – 6A Bracketing Reminder | Kentucky High School Athletic Association

 

6A is the class that has a rotating cross-bracket chart listed in the Competition Rules (numbered page 16 of http://khsaa.org/handbook/competitionrules/fbcompetitionrules.pdf). District 2 was originally assigned only three teams to the district, and lost one of them (Nelson County) through a school split beginning this year.

 

In addition, be mindful that District 6 was permitted to have its 5th place team automatically become the 4th seed in District 2 for the playoff pairings purposes. This assurance that the 5th place team would always face a 1st place team was key in the approval of the experimental bracketing to prevent a team from District 6 from being sent to a geographically isolated part of the state for playoffs.

 

Districts 2 and 3 are paired for the playoffs this year. So the fifth place team in District 6 will be the fourth place team in District 2 for playoff purposes. Part of this issue is resolved for 2013 and 2014 as Muhlenberg County will move into District 2 to allow for four teams in the playoffs, with the opening of the new consolidated McCracken County school. The issue should only be present for 2012 playoffs.

 

Current listing -

District 2 – Central Hardin, Meade County, Muhlenberg County (beginning 2013 season)

District 3 – Butler, Pleasure Ridge Park, Seneca, Southern

District 6 – Boone County, Campbell County, Dixie Heights, Ryle, Simon Kenton (*)

 

The pairings for that cross bracket will be

 

1st place District 2 vs. 4th place District 3

2nd place District 2 vs. 3rd place District 3

2nd place in District 3 will have a bye in round one as there is no 3rd place team in District 2.

4th place District 2 (which is 5th place from 6) will play 1st place District 3.
