Anyone know the dates and where each tournament is being held? Furthermore, does anyone know the qualification process for each league? I've enclosed the M7's policy, this is accurate unless it was changed prior to the start of the season: District Tournament 1st Place 12 points 2nd Place 10 points 3rd Place 8 points 4th Place 4 points 5th Place 0 points 6th place 0 points 7th Place 0 points Regular Season District Standings 1st Place 16 points 2nd Place 12 points 3rd Place 9 points 4th Place 6 points 5th Place 3 points 6th place 2 points 7th Place 1 point

I’m guessing tonight’s results have opened things up a bit. Given that everyone in the region has at least one loss with two weeks to play, could someone (VHSL Helper) breakdown some scenarios?

Who knows Havoc? The rules have nothing written down about splitting points, maybe a coin flip decides the points? It also says common opponents matter, which would give edge to Union, on another part it says you exclude tournament games but that's just listed on the head-to-head tiebreak. This happens every single year, happened last year with Battle and Central. Why can we not get a points system like football that everyone understands? Can the ADs not just rotate turns keeping up with it on a year-to-year basis?

Am I the only one who feels like mass confusion has occurred every year over regional basketball seeding since they started this new formula? We're into the final week of the regular season and seemingly not one person knows how Grayson Co. will factor into the regional bracket. I've said this for years but, why can't we have a points system like we have for football? Could an athletic director or group of athletic directors not keep up with points for teams in our region and then seed accordingly? Seems to me this would also boost attendance at basketball games. As it is now, unless it's a district game you are just playing for pride.

What I was given before the season basically had points awarded for district finish (regular season and tournament) and had no mention of anything else. I’m guessing that’s wrong so I’m totally lost. I would think in any logical system Central would be much higher than 8th. I’ve got what I was given but, it says it’s too large to upload.

I'm not sure if this is accurate or not but how any team that is fourth in their own district and third in the region is baffling to say the least.

Ervin was 13-for-13 in that game, that has to be some type of VHSL record or at least tie one?

Last I heard, WAXM was covering the Burton game.

I’ve always wondered why they wait til all teams are eliminated. At the college level, all-conference teams are announced prior to the start of conference tournaments. Seems to me they would get more press that way as opposed to announcing the teams when everyone is in basketball mode.

Fun fact. Clarke County's starting quarterback (Jordan Turner) started all season as a true freshman on the baseball team at UVa-Wise last year. Played shortstop and centerfield, kid is a good athlete.

The Union - Central rivalry has gotten out of control. Both sides are equally to blame and the adults are as bad as the kids. Someone is going to end up getting seriously injured in a football or basketball game between these two. It’s past time an authority figure in the schools or central office stepped in.

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.
