Just about everyone that plays LAX anymore uses LAXPOWER to set their seeding, I'd think in GA it's a little more difficult with the number of schools that are playing in comparison to some of the areas that have a lot more schools playing.
No sacntioned sport in the state would use a 3rd party power data ranking to seed their playoffs.
While the seeding this year probably wasn't balanced as one side of the tournament bracket was very heavy with talent, it will rotate next year.
Just to chime in here...do they use just a bracket format, or do they determine the teams by overall record and give them a section for playoffs before the tourney - so basically two playoffs?
In Minnesota this year, we are going to section playoffs (how they do it with everysport) , than state tourney with the 4 winners.....the only problem is one section has 6 out of the top 10 teams in it....which leads us to believe the section 5 tourney will be better than the state 4 team section winners....next year I know they have discussed bumping the number of teams up to 8 for the state. 2 powerhouse programs will go this year, and two signifigantly less skilled teams get a shot because their section is so weak..
Personally, I like the big bracket - with random seedings drawn after the first four have been given their seeds....
