No problem. Do you want to set a deadline on submissions so I can lock the topic at that time?

And we usually have to pick at least three non-number 1 seeds to qualify. Some of these people didn't even pick Class A. Chances are they won't be back to make revisions. With that being said...

Agreed, this is why I made a first draft before the seeding and making a final after the seeding is complete. No harm in changing your predictions before section play starts.

1AA: Lakeville South

3A: Hutchinson
4A: St. Thomas Academy
5A: Hermantown
6A: Sartell
7A: Hibbing
8A: Lake of the Woods

Thanks Lee.
And along with "75", agreed that this is a bit early, but there are actually some section games planned for this Saturday, Feb 19th in 6A and 8AA. So, how's about if we lock it up on Saturday, Feb 19th at noon. Just in case Wadena Deer Creek or Robbinsdale Cooper look like they are gonna make a run.
I know that all of the seedings my not be done by then, but you will just need to be smart enough to be able to figure out if Sartell and Little falls or Minnetonka and Wayzata are going to be on the same side of the bracket or not. But, of course you would be able to edit your picks until it is locked up.
