I was just checking the KHSAA Scoreboard to see the different games tonight and in the girls in the 15th region they have two first round regional games tonight. In one game Besty Layne is playing Phelps and Magoffin vs. Lawrence Co. The rest of the bracket is not even drawn out and the 57th and 58th districts are playing their district championships tonight as well. 

I have never seen anything like this. Does anyone know what is going or what their thinking is with this setup?

Experimental super region format, only district champions are promised the final 8. Runner ups get a "bye" to the play in game along with 2 of the 3 seeds due to having 2 3-team districts, then there are 2 play in games of 3/4 seeds to then face the district runner ups. The winner of the Play-In/3 seed bye vs. District Runner Up games will then move on to play in the final 8.

Betsy Layne was a 4 seed, Phelps a 3 (one of the 3 team districts). Lawrence technically was a "3" even though they were the 1 seed in their district tournament and Magoffin was the 4. East Ridge and Paintsville got the bye and will draw one of the district runner-ups same as the winner of the first two mentioned games.
