Per Jason Frakes, the LIT this year will only have 16 teams. The field will be seeded based on SETH rankings, a ranking system created by former JCPS Director of Athletics, Jerry Wyman. Wyman retired from JCPS after the 2020-21 school year and then accepted a job the following year for Bullitt County Schools as their district-wide athletics coordinator.

Tournament will be held January 8-13, with the quarterfinals, semifinals and finals being hosted at Valley High School in Louisville.

Moore being in ahead of Louisville Holy Cross is a joke. Also, Butler should not be the #1 seed the Seth rankings are just so silly how it is calculated.

Today I learned: St. Francis changed its name to the Francis Parker School.

Current TP94 Ratings for 6&7th Regions. Only take in account games against 6th and 7th region opponents. Out of region games aren't counted. Not a lot of games so far so they will change a lot I think.

St X 

Fairdale 

Prp 

Beth Haven

Leaves these three on cut line as first ones out

@Tigerpride94 how do you calculate these rankings? This is something you do yourself?

I do them myself. I started teams with last year's ratings. They use average margin of victory/loss against teams played then averages it to get rating. I update them each day unless no games were played between 6th and 7th region teams.

New SETH ratings released today.

Manual is good but should not be #1 also St. X is too low 

 

Obviously not the official bracket, but here's what it would look like today:

Manual (1)-Bullitt East(16)  

Holy Cross (8)-J'town (9)

Male (4)-CAL (13)  

Butler (5)-Fern Creek (12)

Trinity (2)-Moore (15)

 Eastern (7)-Fairdale (10)

Ballard (3)-Beth Haven (14)

 St. X (6)-PRP (11)

The tip 4 seeds would host Doubleheaders which would be Manual, Trinity, Ballard and Male for the first round then quarterfinals, SF and finals at valley 

How are the SETH rankings calculated? I’m sure it has been mentioned before; is it just against 6th and 7th region teams? Only KY teams?
