Hillcrest has ben caught on both sides of this issue the last three years. This year the brackets have worked in our favor. We have a 50/50 chance to make to the final eight. The last two years we would have had a better chance to advance if teams were seeded. Instesd of playing a region champ. we probably would have played a second place team.
I feel seeding may not be perfect but you do get a better chance of having the top teams go futher in the playoffs. The only modification i would make to seeding is that you could not play a team from your region in the first round. I think its more fun for the girls to play someone different.
