Northumberland defeated Rapp County twice this season (home and away) and has a better overall win loss record than Rapp County. Yet, Rapp County is seeded higher and almost has as many points as 2nd seed Rappahannock Warsaw.

This type of situation has happened in many sports.

This system has way too many flaws. Head to head (if records are similar) should always come 1st, then maybe do points for tiebreakers. As I have argued before, this system does not work like it does for Football which has more advanced formula.

According to the system, ADs should just schedule mostly 4As and 5As, go like 2-14 and enter the tournament as a #1 or #2 seed. Or just schedule mostly 1A cupcakes and rack up the points that way. I wonder which one is better and would come out on top?

I agree whole heartedly. I like powerpoints, but if you have a losing record all that goes out the window...we are basically teaching kids that winning doesn't matter. While that sounds good on day time TV, it just isn't true in the world...winning and a desire to win breeds success in all things.

Just for fun and I am only taking a crack at this so feel free to move teams and I may have missed a team that deserves to be in here so like I said move teams up or down not intended to ruffle anyone’s feathers but what if playoffs where like football….
1 Riverbend vs 16 Northumberland
2 Essex vs 15 Surry
3 Northampton vs 14 Lancaster
4 Mathews vs 13 Stonewall
5 Rappahannock vs 12 Middlesex
6 Windsor vs 11 Luray
7 West Point vs 10 ARGS
8 Altivista vs 9 Rapp County
If top seeds win
1 Riverbend vs 8 Altivista
2 Essex vs 7 West Point
3Northahampton vs 6 Windsor
4 Mathews vs 5 Rappahannock
If top seeds win
1Riverbend vs 4 Mathews
2 Essex vs 3 Northampton
That is some pretty competitive games in this mix

Which is why in the first round last night beat downs erupted across the state. Unnecessary games being played with teams that honestly shouldn't be there. CUT IT AT 4 teams and don't let points be the only factor.

WestmorelandFC....I'm guess you meant the #1seed to be Riverheads, not Riverbend.

I was about to point that out. My guess is that Riverbend could beat all of these teams put together.
