GATE CITY IS THE #1 SEED OUT OF THE CLINCH MOUNTAIN CONFERENCE 40.
AS THE REGULAR SEASON CHAMPION, I BELIEVE THEY ALSO GET THE #1 SEED OUT OF OUR CONFERENCE IN THE REGION TOURNAMENT AS WELL.

THE CLINCH MOUNTAIN CONFERENCE 40 TOURNAMENT IS HOSTED BY THE #1 REGULAR SEASON CHAMPION SO THE TOURNAMENT SEMIFINALS AND FINALS WILL BE HELD AT THE GATE CITY MIDDLE SCHOOL. GYM.
 
Dan River is the #1 seed for Conference 37, hosts the winner of #4 Appomattox County and #5 Gretna.
Chatham and Buckingham plays each other, but I don't know who's the 2 or 3.
 
Glenvar hasn't hosted yet. This will be James River's 2nd time hosting within 3 years. Giles hasn't hosted either. I know I'm not trying to make a 2 hour ride to Giles either. Floyd Co is the most central site for Conference 38.
 
In order to host I think you have to have gym seating of a certain capacity, someone can correct me if I'm wrong. I don't think giles or glenvar qualify on gym seating? There shown as 1200 w Floyd at 1400 and JR at 1575. Martinsville listed at 2000. Also have to have a school that will agree to do it. I don't understand why JR would be hosting again this quick either. It is a money maker for the schools for concessions and some of the gate receipts. I think the VHSL gets a bigger portion of the gate to pay the high salaried employees. For all those wishing to apply, yea it's outdated ....................

How has Richlands clinched Conf 39 #1 seed and they haven't played their championship yet??????

C39 has always made the 1 seed for the regional playoffs the winner of the regular season. The C39 tournament serves to find the 2nd team that the conference will send to the playoffs. Richlands technically could have forfeited their game tomorrow and they would still be the 1 seed in the playoffs.

I always liked the way better. It made the regular season have some great matchups!

I may be wrong but my informants tell me that Graham goes to Gate City and Union to Richlands in the quarterfinals

I agree with what you say - Richlands got the automatic #1 seed for Conference 39 - Graham is the #2 seed by virtue of their win over Virginia High last night in the SEC championship - Virginia High is out.

Thanks. You are correct. I hate that some conferences give the regular-season winner the #1 seed, while others only use the conference tournament to set seeds.

The VHSL has messed with this and messed with this until it's very confusing........why can't they leave things alone? If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!!

At least we are done with conference tournaments after this year. We'll see what happens with the next set of changes.
