I can't speak for the Southwest District, but in the M7, teams get points for their order of finish in the regular season district standings, and then points for their placing in the district tournament.  The regular season does carry more weight.  The only team guaranteed a spot in the region tournament is the highest finishing 2A team in the regular season standings, and that team will get the M7's #1 seed to the region regardless of what happens in the tournament.  The 6th seed in the regular season could possibly outpoint the 4th or 5th place team if that #6 upsets the #3 in the tournament.  Also, who ever loses the #4 vs. #5 seed tournament game will be done for the tournament, but will advance to the region unless #6 upsets #3.
The SW district will have their own formula for how they will seed their four, and it will be complicated by the fact that they have to figure Grayson County in the mix.

Each region has the autonomy to allow as many teams as they choose to make the playoffs.

Only 3% of high school players go on to play in college.

Maybe you should let him announce that.

Maybe you should let him announce that.

Maybe you should let him announce that.

If Graham's girls were a #7 seed, why did they play #3 seed Grayson County tonight?  #2 usually plays #7.

And don't make comments that Richlands is better than Graham based on the game at Richlands...Graham played terribly and you can't make those grandiose statements from ONE single game...
 

Ryan, Don't let the Troll....Troll you.

I understand that but you and the committee are taking strength and winning percentage to mean the same thing when that wording is different on different tiebreakers. At the least, it's poorly worded. It's left it open for controversy which is evidenced by the fact they had to have this meeting.

Next year conferences will no longer exist, only districts and we will move back to an almost similar set up to what we used to have.  There will be 4 regions instead of 2 with each region consisting of 2 districts.  Clinch Mountain district will have Abingdon, Central, Union, Ridgeview, Battle, Lee, Gate City.  Everybody will play twice in the CM District.  Abingdon will play in the district tournament, but must compete in 3A for their region tournament. Southwest District will include Tazewell, Richlands, Virginia High, Lebanon, Graham, and Marion if I'm not mistaken.
 
The only odd ball thing is that Grayson County will not be in either of these two districts, but will compete in the region with Clinch Mountain and Southwest District teams.  Unless something changes, for basketball, 4 teams will advance to make an 8 team region tournament.
 
Seeding Abingdon in a 3A region tournament will be difficult, as will be seeding Grayson County in this region's tournament.

VHSL adopting a pitch count for this season.  Just wondering how teams and umpires are going to police this.  Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.
