SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Girls Varsity Soccer AAAA Upper State Bracket (Old School)

Being out of the playoffs and finding myself with some extra time, I have decided to see what the brackets would be should the old system of points be used. Below is the points system used by football, which will suffice. Tournaments and scrimmages do not count. Only 16 games may be used (some play 18 regular season games and those extra two cannot be used) so find the best ones. I'll take care of region 1 if someone else would volunteer to do 2, 3, and 4.

I forgot, take the top four region teams as usual (finish). Finish means nothing for seeding, though, it's all about the schedule and performance once your in.

Region 1

Hanna 61 pts
Wren 60.5 pts
Greenwood 60.5 pts (loses tie breaker - head to head)
Easley 56 pts

Some teams (Dorman/Mauldin) only played 15. I'm thinking that 14 or 15 games would be more accurate in case of rain. Region finish handles tie breakers.

Region 2

Dorman 63 pts
Spartanburg 62 pts
Byrnes 62 pts (region finish tie breaker)
Mauldin 61.5

Region 3

Northwestern 59 pts
Fort Mill 53.5 pts (13 games)
Clover 47.5 (13 games)
Lancaster 42 (12 games)

Fort Mill obviously penalized for going "out of state".

No, Fort Mill punished for being poo boys and not playing a full regular season schedule.

Region 4

Lexington 65 pts
Irmo 62.5 pts
Aiken 58 pts
South Aiken 52.5 pts

Bracket 1

1 Lexington
16 Lancaster

8 Wren
9 Greenwood

4 Spartanburg
13 Fort Mill

5 Byrnes
12 Easley


Bracket 2

2 Dorman
15 Clover

7 Hanna
10 Northwestern

3 Irmo
14 South Aiken

6 Mauldin
11 Aiken

Negatives - could play region opponent a third time
Have to research out of state classifications and records (I did it and wasn't that hard)
Make up games are important! (probably should count 14 games)

Positives - rewarded for strength of schedule
Region of death alignment is negated
Stronger regions get higher seedings
