swva_havok_fan 1,261 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 This is in the KTN today: Region 1D will set the 8 seeds by the traditional top 8 in the power points basically. This is the excerpt on Region 2D from Kevin Mays: In Region 2D, things seem simpler but could get complicated. There are only two districts--the Mountain 7 and the Southwest--in the region. With that in mind, the schools in the region have opted to seed the top four teams from each district in the region quarterfinals. Seems simple enough. There's a little bit of a catch, however. As of now, the plan calls for using the schools' power point ratings instead of their final district standings to determine the rankings in the postseason. It's very possible that the top four teams in each district could advance to the playoffs. But it's also possible that a fifth place team could make the playoffs over one of the top four squads because of its power points rating. So it's not as simple as it looks. Is this news to anyone else? In the end, I guess the 8 that deserve to go are going to go, but just seems strange. edit: Just messaged a member on Facebook messenger and it apparently was already known by most everyone on here but me. Lol. Carry on with your day as normal then. Sorry for the post. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been hearing rumors of top 4 from each district, just not details on how they were choosing, or if there would be cross bracketing. The only issue I have is what if the 5th seed from one district has a higher PP rating than the 4th seed of the other district. How's that fair?

Well in the M7, I don't think there's any chance that Lee or Battle outpoint Gate City. I could be wrong though. Southwest, I don't think Marion outpoints Richlands or Tazewell... So in the end, I still think the 8 teams who deserve it are going, but to your point, not sure how the matchups are going to be drawn up.

I was more worried about Marion outpointing GC, but after looking at the remaining games, looks like GC has 3 winnable games left. Marion has none. Things will probably fall into line nicely.

Va High and Graham are going to be #s 1 and 2 from SWD, with #1 being the winner of their game. One - three seeds in M7 are completely up in the air. jarhead24219 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union has Ridgeview, Central, Richlands and Abingdon in a row. I realize that Richlands game may not be what it once looked like, but that's still a gauntlet. Also have Central/Abingdon coming up and Ridgeview/Abingdon left to go. Gridiron60 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure how any team successfully shuts him down for an entire game. If he’s in there, he’s making things happen. He’s a work horse & a half. I don’t know who’s up for POY in M7 but he’d be my pick. I see him giving all four teams listed a fit. Union_Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing half a game is gonna hurt him for PoY but he should get plenty of carries in the next few weeks Gridiron60 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
