swva_havok_fan 1,261 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 So, a buddy of mine just texted me and said that he had heard that the bottom two teams do not get to play in the conference tournament. Has anyone else heard this? If this is true, then that's a shame. In boys, it doesn't mean much, cause there's no way Ridgeview is beating Union. But in girls, John Battle has played everyone tough though they haven't won a game. I'm sure I'll be in the minority, but I don't like it if it's true.

Great City 210 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Union and Central have the EXACT same gyms. Only the colors are different. They only have 5-6 rows of seats on the visitor's side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swva_havok_fan 1,261 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Ridgeview at Union next Monday... Not sure of the Time, but hope it's at 7, so I can get there from work on time. 3-6 seeds are all still up in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swva_havok_fan 1,261 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Just John Battle at Gate City so far. Not 100% decided yet but most likely Lee at Ridgeview and Union at Lebanon. Hokie777 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliteSWVAFan 10 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Just John Battle at Gate City so far. Not 100% decided yet but most likely Lee at Ridgeview and Union at Lebanon. With the Lebanon girls win over Lee High tonight, it appears seeding for the girls tournament is finalized with these match ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swva_havok_fan 1,261 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 With the Lebanon girls win over Lee High tonight, it appears seeding for the girls tournament is finalized with these match ups. I totally forgot that Battle could tie Lee by beating them tonight, Not sure how a tie for 6th gets broken though, coin flip maybe? Lol. Anyway, yeah, girls (Tuesday) will be: 1 Wise Central (bye) 4 Lebanon vs. 5 Union 3 Ridgeview vs. 6 Lee High/John Battle 2 Gate City vs. 7 Lee High/John Battle Boys (Monday): (so far) 1 Gate City (bye) 2 Union vs. 7 Ridgeview Lee High is locked at 6, but 3, 4 and 5 could be either Battle, Central or Lebanon. Lebanon gets the 3 if they beat Central tonight, with Battle 4 and Central 5. EliteSWVAFan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leatherhead Larry 530 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 More than likely WC beats Lebanon and JSB beats Lee tonight. How will that make it look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swva_havok_fan 1,261 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Then Central and Battle would be tied for the 3 seed on 6 points and split head to head, not sure how tiebreakers other than first place are settled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leatherhead Larry 530 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 They split in the regular season. Maybe they go to overall wins next? JSB would win if so. 14 wins to Central's 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick_Vitale 342 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Rumor is they go with a pre season lottery number system. Basically if you pull a 1 you win the overall tie breaker if it comes to that and numerically down the list. First tie breaker is head to head... since JB/WC split (baring a Lebanon win for WC) then it will come down to their lottery numbers. I have heard that a few conferences are doing this and assume all are doing this if it does not involve the free birth to region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swva_havok_fan 1,261 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Lee beat Battle in girls, so the bracket will look like this: First Round -- Tuesday at higher seed 1 Wise Central (bye) 4 Lebanon vs. 5 Union 3 Ridgeview vs. 6 Lee High 2 Gate City vs. 7 John Battle Semis at Central Thursday Finals at Central Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swva_havok_fan 1,261 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Central boys beat Lebanon, so we have a tie at 3. I sent a DM to Central's Boys twitter to see if they knew who got the spot, never heard back. Boys First round Monday at higher seed: 1 Gate City (bye) 4 John Battle vs. 5 Lebanon 3 Wise Central vs. 6 Lee High 2 Union vs. 7 Ridgeview Semis Wednesday at Gate City Finals Friday at Gate City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Lebanon that's how Still, being .500 in conference should be better than being .455. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leatherhead Larry 530 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Still, being .500 in conference should be better than being .455. Lebanon counts as 2 wins or losses. Very ignorant. I don't see how a team gets credit for 2 wins or 2 losses when they only play once. But I get what you're saying. Take away Lebanon counting twice and the tie is broke, easy fix.
