We were in 2A for the past two years and I loved the seeding meeting. It was a chance for a coach to make their case for being better than a similar team. It rewards teams that schedule tough opponents.
Now that we are 3A, we are in the predetermined bracket and finished 2nd in our region while being ranked #2 in the state. So we will host the 1st round game and if we advance, will have to be on the road the rest of the playoffs.
If it were seeded 1-16 and we the 2 seed, we would host the first 3 rounds.
It would also give teams outside of the predetermined spots a chance at the playoffs. Look at the AAAAA Region 3. They have Clover, Rock Hill, Northwestern, Nation Ford and Fort Mill. On the boys side a few years ago, they were probably 5 of the top 15 teams in the state but one of them missed the playoffs.
