I TOTALLY AGREE 100%.....I WAS JUST INFORMED OF A CERTAIN TEAM IN D2 BEING NAMED THE OVERALL #1 SEED AND THEY ARE HOSTING THE TOURNAMENT (FIGURE THAT ONE OUT). HOW CONVENIENT IS THAT......THINGS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WELL BEFORE TOURNAMENT TIME. IT DOES CAUSE PEOPLE TO THINK SOMETHING IS GOING ON. IF THAT IS THE CASE I WOULD CHALLENGE THE "BOARD" AS THEY PUT IT TO EXPLAIN HOW EACH SEED IS DETERMINED FOR EACH BRACKET AFTER THE REGIONAL FINALS ARE COMPLETE. YOU CAN'T USE ONE SYSTEM FOR THE REGIONAL PLAY AND THEN DECIDE TO USE ANOTHER ONE FOR FINALS PLAY SO IT FITS YOUR NEEDS OR A CERTAIN TEAM. THIS IS JUST WRONG AND IT IS UNFAIR.....I HAVE RAN SEVERAL TOURNAMENTS AND SOME OF THEM ON A LARGE SCALE. YOU JUST DON'T CHANGE THE RULES AFTER THE FACT AND THEN EXPECT PEOPLE TO SIT BACK AND NOT VOICE CONCERNS OR SOME GET MAD. PLAY THE TOURNAMENT AS IT IS LAID OUT AND LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY. YOU CAN'T USE TIME OR TRAVEL EXCUSES NOW BECAUSE ALL THE GAMES ARE BEING PLAYED AT ONE VENUE.....DO YOU ACTUALLY THINK THIS WILL CAUSE TEAMS TO WANT TO GET IN THE PLAYOFF SYSTEM IN THE FUTURE? HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO GROW YOUR TOURNAMENT IF YOU ARE CONSTANTLY CHANGING THE RULES IN MID-STREAM. I'LL STEP DOWN OFF MY SOAP BOX NOW AND LET OTHERS CHIME IF THEY SEE FIT.:HitWall:

YOU GOT YOUR FACTS WRONG. tO BEGIN WITH IF ANY TEAM WERE GOING TO BE SEED #1 IT WOULD OF BEEN CORBIN. THING IS ,THEY ARE NOT SEEDING ANYTHING. THAT WAS PURE SPECULATION. THE REASON THEY ANOUNCED ON SATURDAY THAT THE BRACKETS WERE WRONG WAS BECAUSE EVERY YEAR SINCE THE BEGINNIG THEY ROTATE THE REGIONS IN THE SEMI'S. 2 YEARS AGO REGION 3 PLAYED REGION 2. LAST YEAR REGION 3 PLAYED REGION 4. GUESS WHAT REGION 3 WAS SUPPPOSED TO PLAY THIS YEAR, YOU GOT IT ......REGION 2. BUT...........COACH MANN (WHO IS DOING A THANKLESS JOB VOLUNTEERING TO DO THE CHAMPIONSHIPS EVERY YEAR BECAUSE HE HAS NO DOG IN THIS RACE) FORGOT TO FLOP THE REGIONS BEFORE THEY WERE RELEASED AND AFTER ALL THE CRAP LIKE YOU JUST POSTED HE DECIDED TO LEAAVE IT AS IT IS THIS YEAR SO NO FOOL WOULD ACCUSE HIM OF TRYING TO HELP ANY 1 TEAM. HONEST MISTAKE BUT IN THE END HE KEPT IT AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY RELEASED. MAYBE NEXT YEAR THEY CAN HAVE THIS TOURNEY IN PADUCAH OR BELL CO AND THEN LETS SEE HOW MANY TEAMS WILL TRAVEL THE LENGTH OF THE STATE TO PLAY. I ASSURE YOU IT WILL BE LESSW THAN WHAT IS PLAYING THIS YEAR. HECK, MOVE IT TO LOUISVILLE, THEN MAYBE YOU GUYS WILL QUIT THINKING LEXINGTON CATHOLIC OF CHEATING INSTEAD OF THANKING US FOR HOSTING IT. YOU CAN'T FATHOM HOW MUCH WORK AND PLANNING GOES INTO MAIKING THIS AN ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE FOR THE KIDS, COACHES AND PARENTS. NOW what so you have to say.......wow I guess I lot my voice from all this yelling.:please: P.S the board has nothing to do with the bracket. That would be a conflict of interest since most members are affiliated with other teams. You need to pull your foot out of your mouth OldBobcat
