Not that it really matters, but I like to give out correct information.

I have Buckingham and Page County at different totals. I went back and rechecked, and I still get the same numbers.

It's a good thing (whether I am correct or not) that it doesn't determine who's in or out.

 

[oldfool2]

Wonder when they will have pairings up.

 

[BullRun66]

Buckingham should have a walk at Strasburg. The rams lost a key defensive lineman last night to a broken fibia and dislocated ankle. Possibly lost starting quarterback to a shoulder injury.

 

[Gridiron1960]

Brackets up

 

[Gridiron1960]

2D did a whack job on VA High. They are 2nd in powerpoints in the region but travel to Union while Richlands is 6th in powerpoints but gets home field advantage.

 

[GrahamHighGmen]

2A did a whack job on King William and Nottoway. Both teams are 1 and 2 in power ranking and 1 and 2 in seeding, but have them playing in round two. Poquoson, the 3rd highest rated team in power ranking was made the 6th seed? What the he**? And, because Poquoson is the 6th seed, they somehow avoid King William/and or/ Nottoway until the Region Title Game. I have no idea what Region A pulled, but it looks equally as stupid as Region D.

Where are you seeing Nottoway and King William would play 2nd round?

The seeds thing I see, but the 3 with 8 seeds are all listed 1, 2, 3, 4

 

[Fairlawncat]

I think he interpreted Nottoway and King William playing due to the way it's listed. The Graham fan probably interpreted it this way because when looking at Region D, the way it's listed in order is exactly how it works out for round two. For example, if Graham and Union win, Graham plays Union in round 2 even though Ridgeview, a 3 seed, if they win in round one, would not play Graham in round 2.

I also thought this was also the case initially, but then the King William fan pointed out that the way it's listed by order isn't who plays who Which means, KW and Nottoway wouldn't play (if both win) until round 3, not round 2. I agree with the other posters on Poquson though. How a team with the 3rd highest VHSL rating could be a 6 seed and have to travel the first two games is a tough draw. But, if that's the way the school officials, be it the principals or AD's or coaches or both agreed to, then it's the way the cookie crumbles.

 

[GrahamHighGmen]

It's exactly how I interpreted it. The way it's listed, it looked to me like Nottoway and King William would play in round two. Also, are you guys absolutely sure that King William and Nottoway do NOT play in round 2 if both win. If a team can have the 3rd highest VHSL rating and somehow be a 6 seed, then what confidence would one have to be 100% certain that KW and Nottoway don't play in round 2?

Last of all, what if your Poquoson? I'm not just talking about being upset with this year, you are worried sick if your from Poquoson because what if this isn't a one year thing? Is this a new thing for Region A? The VHSL rating is for a reason. It's fair. The other two ratings are totally subjective as one poster from Lafayette mentioned. So, if your Poquoson, you have to worry about the future because it's evidently pretty easy to play what is arguably the most difficult schedule in the state of VA for a 2A school, again, arguably, and you can finish well ahead of the others with the 3rd highest power rating, and within one day, become a 6 seed at season's end. Next year, lets say you finish with the 2nd highest VHSL rating in Region A, or even the highest, who's to say you aren't the 4 or 5th seed?

It's reasonable for regions/districts to assign seeds and who makes the playoffs BASED on the system WE HAVE. If individual regions say take the top 4 or whatever in each district like Region D, that's fine, they aren't creating another system, they are still within the framework of the VHSL power rating system. It's a whole, whole other ballgame to simply ADD or CREATE another system to supplement the VHSL system. That's the first time I've ever heard of this basically in the history of VHSL athletics. They seem to have actually CREATED another ranking system. Just unheard of.

 

[NNDman]

Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard that this system was approved by the region in the spring due to the likelihood of there being an inequity in the number of games each team plays. This is simply what I heard

If this was agreed upon and it's the rules, then so be it. I would just hope the Region understands the disaster it actually created and understands why it should never be used again. Region D did something similar (not this outlandish or insane) but did something similar, but they still worked within the framework of the VHSL power rating system. They didn't start CREATING formulas and basically creating its own system, and even in Region D, there is outrage and it's obviously clear they will not be repeating the same set of mistakes made. I think Lee High fans are still wondering how they are actually in the playoffs over Gate City and even they probably feel a little dirty about being there. Almost inconceivable that they are there over Gate City, who played the tougher schedule, who had the better district record, and who beat Lee High by two touchdowns, and both teams finished 4-6.

 

[NND Sports Fan]

Some weeks ago (not sure if it was here or the SWVA site) it was noted that D was going to go by District standings for the seeding purposes.

 

[GrahamHighGmen]

Some weeks ago (not sure if it was here or the SWVA site) it was noted that D was going to go by District standings for the seeding purposes.

They kind of did. There are 2 districts in Region D. The Southwest District (Graham-Richlands district) decided to go by district record. The Mountain 7 (Union-Central-Ridgeview) went with power point rating. It was agreed that each district would take their top 4 teams and that would make up the 8 team format. HOW the districts determined their top 4 teams was what threw people off. All year long, people thought BOTH districts were picking their top 4 to make the playoffs according to district record (makes sense) and then if the district record is the same, then head to head as the decider, and if a 3 way tie, power rating as the decider. This makes sense and the SWD did this, but it came in the last week that the M7 decided to take their top 4 according to power rating. This is where controversy set in because Gate City had a one game better district record than Lee High, beat Lee by 2 touchdowns when they played, and both had a 4- 6 overall record, and Lee got in the playoffs by barely, barely edging them in power rating.

But, even with all of the above...............they did not ADD. They did not CREATE. They took the VHSL power rating and worked within that framework. Region A? A whole other ballgame. They actually CREATED formulas, added a rankings system, and applied this with the VHSL ranking system, and basically shifted the heavy weight in favor of the system they created (region ranking and winning percentage, lol).

The real laugher Winning percentage and Covid based on worrying about not getting in a full compliment of games? Ummm, math says that doesn't matter. It's why it's called PERCENTAGE, lol. Regional Ranking? LOL. Can't make this stuff up......well, actually you can. Region A pulled it off.
