@ rambait - we were notified by a coach of the situation 3 days ago. That request is being addressed. Not to sound like a smart Alec, but you'll have to forgive us for not checking message boards. We gladly answer to member coaches and administrators. Most often, that communication takes place via email, phone, or in person. Comments by anonymous sources on message boards are not necessarily viable to us. Heck, just read some of the back and forth on here. There's no way we have time to set policy based on what's posted on here.

@ newjacket - our website is http://www.kymiddleschoolfootball.com The rules for membership, playoff system, brackets, volunteer positions, insurance, coaches training, all star games, all state process, contacts, (I hope you are getting the point here) are all plainly laid out there. None of those processes are secrets by any means. We are absolutely transparent as an organization, and that is done purposefully. My comment about you not being a coach was that your questions simply demonstrate that you are not one. Any KMSFA member coach (especially one that even went to the finals last year as Williamsburg did) would know the answers to the questions you were asking.

Again, I say those things as humbly and as sincerely as I possibly can. Should you have any further questions, we will do our best to answer them.

Good luck to all teams and thank you for your support of middle school football here in KY!!

Again, no answer to my most basic question. How did North go from a 5 seed to an 8 seed? I guess I am supposed to assume the original bracket was incorrect the entire time and they were always the 8 seed and Whitley was always the 5 seed, but if that is the case then why not just come out and say so instead to referring me to your website and giving me the run around while trying to make it sound like I don't have the right to question the fairness of this situation. I suppose in all reality North would rather travel to Knox which is a lot closer for them, but if the brackets are truly seeded then closeness wouldn't matter. I hear our competition in the 1st round is complaining about having to travel to Williamsburg, but if we win, guess where we will be going the next weekend. Travel is always part of the equation when you enter this kind of tournament and shouldn't be a consideration when determining the seeds.
