In a four horse race it doesn't make sense.

 

I dont' follow.

For the same reason Bellevue, Dayton and Newport do not want to seed in the 36th. They have that chance to draw each other on the bye side of the bracket if it's a blind draw. If they're seeding, most years they're playing against the 1 and 2 in the first round and stand little chance. Again, I said MOST years.

 

In a 4 team district, you don't have to worry about one of those teams getting a bye and "spoiling" a better teams chances. You may as well blind draw...

Ahh, I now follow.

 

I'm still in favor of the seeding though.

Clear as mud?

Do over

Seeding is still the best way to do it. In the 36th, all that does is have the potential to eliminate the 1 of the 2 best teams, that way a 4th or 5th seed could move to the region, which is stupid IMO.

 

I understand that teams want to move to the region, but in fairness... seeding would normally take the top 2 teams.

And that's why the 36th does it. It's always NCC and HHS voting for seeding, Dayton and Bellevue voting against and Newport is seen as the 'swing vote'. So, 3-2 against seeding.

You're right. Why have a chance for a small school to make the tournament. Cinderella stories have never been a part of baseball tradition. We've never had an underdog make a run at a title. Uderstand that life is not fair. It has never been fair to schools like Dayton, Silver Grove, Bellevue, et al because in baseball they have to compete head to head with the likes of CovCath, PRP, Henry Clay, LexCath, etc. So having the ever so slight chance of gaining the opportunity to play for a district title simply because the draw happens to favor them is small compensation for schools like those mentioned above in the unseeded districts. When baseball goes to a class system like it should, then I'm all for seeding or whatever else the "powers-that-be" suggest. But at this time, giving those schools an ever-so-slight chance isn't killing anybody. Besides, can anyone even remember the last time NewCath, Newport and Highlands all drew into the samr portion of the bracket? I can't.

I bet I know one time you weren't. :thumb:

Got the shaft anyway...:lol:

 

Seriously, I agree with your sentiments. Seeding is the way to go if and only if there's classification. Another argument, another thread.:thumb:

You are, as usual correct sir. Another thread. Perhaps a discussion at the BB&G

Upsets happen in baseball. Think back two years ago in the first round of the districts to one of the biggest upsets in KY highschool baseball history.

It has been confirmed that Beechwood will be the #1 seed followed by HC, CCH, and Holmes.
