NDA has the toughest draw for a number one seed. Glad to see Conner and NDA at opposite ends of the bracket

When will this idea of a blind draw, for all sports, not just softball, become a thing of the past?

 

Not only is it not fair to a team like NDA who has earned a true #1 seed in the region but have to play the toughest District Runner Up in Boone but it is also not fair to a team like Boone who came out 'runner up' in the toughest District.

opening thoughts

 

Holy Cross is 0-9 against the field....what would that make the odds for them to win it.

 

Boone misses region around 7 straight years and was probably better than NDA every year...Boone makes it and has to face NDA when NDA is the favorite to win it all.

 

Can Highlands rebound and but enough hits together against Butts...can st henry field well enough to keep them in the game.

 

Who the heck knows what will happen in the dixie/ncc game.

No disrespect to Boone but they are not playing at the level they were early...but I wouldn't be shocked if they won the whole thing.

 

How else would you want to seed them....we already have district games conf games...no way everyone in the region could play each other in regular season.

Record against the field....so if Holy Cross is 0-9 they are the 8th seed, NDA is #1 seed (but they did not play Conner due to rain out from what I understand)...HC gets an exemption since they just faced NDA in districts and gets to play the #2 seed while NDA would face #7 overall.

 

Teams with tied records vs the fields.... the team that won head to head would get the higher seed. Team A and Team B are both 3-4 against the field so they are tied for 5th overall seed but Team A beat Team B during regular season so Team A gets 5th seed and Team B becomes 6th seed. If the teams that are tied didn't play during regular season...those teams only get seeded in a blind draw at that point. Team whose name chosen first gets 5th seed (in my above scenario) and other team gets 6th seed.

No matter the scenario, if all teams in the region do not play each other, there will always be a complaint on doing the draw. Can't remember a year when two deserving teams did not make the finals in regionals. Bottom line you have to win. This year we have several teams that are evenly matched, so should be some great games. Good luck to everyone
