Burrall’s Pearls 61 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 So if Union beats Abingdon or GC beats JSB, Union is the M7 #1 for regional baseball? Not going to lie, I didn’t see this one coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrall’s Pearls 61 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Unless the M7 changed their point system that’s not accurate. Union would outpoint JSB with a win or a JSB L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is completely accurate. The regular season champion, which defaults to Battle, due to Abingdon being 3A is the #1 seed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandpaw trojan 17 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 you may be right with the way things are now, used to be the league winner an tournament winner or 2nd place team if tourney was won by league champ went to regionals. now they use points an send 4. they have made things way too way too complicated for me to keep up with, when was it ever a win to lose to a better team or school?

I think it all changed when Abingdon came in. They did away with regular season automatically gets one seed because Abingdon could win and you could be giving the one seed to someone who didn’t win regular season.

Battle is hosting the Region and is the #1 seed out of the mountain in 2A. That is fact! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breckt 9 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Graham lost to Marion yesterday and Richlands beat Tazewell. So what does that mean for seeding in the SWD in regional play and how does Grayson Co play in to that seeding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s an extremely bitter way to end a season that showed flashes of future hope and promise. Tazewell, who allowed 16+ runs in each of its games against Graham, will get the #4 regional seed over Graham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eersfan 36 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Graham came back down 5-0 and tied the game. Marion played great defense and their SS caught a line drive with the bases loaded and 2 outs in the 7th to seal it. As of right now , Graham is up on Tazewell in points. Marion played error free baseball and made plays even though they gave up a dozen or more hits. Graham left a lot on base because of Marion’s defense. Marion played a pretty tough schedule and have hung in there all year. Their record isn’t indicative of how hard they play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham should be 4 seed with enough points to get in I don’t think Richlands has a chance and Grayson has to outpoint seeds 2- 4, and they can’t outpoint VA High, solidifying them at 2. 1 Lebanon 2 Va High 3 Grayson 4 Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richlands would have to win the district tournament to get in as Grayson is set at 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityofRaven 2,444 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 How is it that Baseball is following the points but Softball is not? Example - With the result of the May 18th Regular Season SWD Softball Championship which Lebanon won, 4-0, that puts the records and points as such - Lebanon - 14-6, 5.4 points Richlands - 16-4, 5.85 points But with the win, Lebanon now gets to host the SWD Tournament and per the paper, next week's Region 2D tournament. What gives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is the Mountain is With Abingdon a 3A school, and district champion, they cannot move on to a 2A tournament. It defaults down to the next finisher in that district to get the 1 seed. In the Southwest district, Grayson county plays in a separate district as a 2A school, and feeds in on that district on a point system. It is very screwed up for our region.

Burrall’s Pearls 61 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Then what is the point of playing or attending any of these games? So Battle is 1, Union 2, GC 3, Central 4? There seems to be no point to any of this. cityofRaven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be no point to any of this. That is correct order on Mountain baseball seeding. I assume parents would want to see their kids play as far as attendance, but I can’t answer your question on why they have a district tournament.
