Seedings for all regionals

Post by Bleed Maroon and Gold »

What are everyone thoughts on how the AA Bantam and Pee Wee regions ended up having the selection committee decide who made it to regions. I would like to see this being done at all levels. Here is what in my opinion should be done. Have the North Region be true north teams and then have the remaining teams battle it out for the east, west and south regions. I think in order for post season play offs to mean something from each district the team that wins the district tournament gets a seed at regions and then the remaining seeds would be at large bids. I will use the A bantams as an example as that is what I am most familiar with. I will compare how the seeded bracket would differ from the regional brackets that are being used. This is all hypothetical as I am using the youth hockey hub rankings and I am sure not all teams have their entire scores in. Let me know what you all think of this.

Tournament Champions
District 2 - Highland
District 3 - Wayzata
District 4 - Luverne
District 5 - Litchfield
District 6 - Edina
District 8 – Farmington ?
District 9 - Mankato
District 10 – Rogers
District 11 – North Shore
District 12 - Virginia
District 15 - Alexandria
District 16 – East Grand Forks

So here is how I would like to see this broken down

North Region

Districts 11, 12, 15 and 16

So the teams that would make the regional would be. I am not putting this in pairings of who should play who I am just trying to get the best teams in the regionals/
