The official brackets have been released and we can start filling out our brackets. This works very similar to the NCAA March Madness bracket challenge, as you make all your picks out all the way out to your champion before the playoffs begin.
Some of the key rules: all picks need to be in by kickoff on Friday of the first game and no editing after that; only one 2A bracket per person will be accepted. Games in Round 1 will be worth 1 point, Round 2 worth 2 points, Round 3 (regional championship) worth 4 points, Round 4 (state semi) worth 8 points, and Round 5 (State Championship) worth 16 points. Tiebreaker #1 will be total points scored in the State Championship game, and in the event we need a second, Tiebreaker #2 will be closest total points in the Championship without going over actual points scored.
The match-ups can be found on the VHSL website, but they are also below:
Region A
(1) Goochland vs (8) Brunswick
(4) Nottoway vs (5) Amelia Co
(2) Poquoson vs (7) Bruton
(3) Greensville vs (6) King William
Region B
(1) Clarke Co vs (8) Strasburg
(4) Luray vs (5) East Rockingham
(2) Central Woodstock vs (7) Buffalo Gap
(3) R.E. Lee-Staunton vs (6) George Mason
Region C
(1) Glenvar vs (8) Dan River
(4) Floyd Co vs (5) Gretna
(2) Appomattox vs (7) Martinsville
(3) Giles vs (6) Fort Chiswell
Region D
(1) Union vs (8) Richlands
(4) Virginia High vs (5) Marion
(2) Graham vs (7) John Battle
(3) Ridgeview vs (6) Grayson Co
I will post my bracket picks below, and if everyone could try to do the same format (Region A-D, not necessarily the bold/italics, as I just did that for my own benefit), that'd be ideal to save me some time when I tally all the games.
