I was kind of waiting to get this started until the VHSL released the updated pairings but I think we are all aware that Essex is #1 seed and Riverheads is #2 (in the east), but I'll go ahead and get this posted for all to see.
The bracket challenge works just like NCAA March Madness Tourney Challenge, as you pick the whole bracket before the playoffs begin and see how it all plays out and this is open for anyone who wishes to play. Games in round 1 will be worth 1 point, and games will be worth double in each round that follows, so round 2 games are worth 2 points, round 3 games are worth 4 points, etc. Remember, in round 4, the East and West cross bracket, where the highest remaining East seed hosts the lowest remaining West seed, and the highest remaining West seed hosts the lowest remaining East seed. Please refer the the printable brackets that VaPrepsRod has pinned at the top of the forum to see the brackets, and refer to the seeding listed on vhsl.org, knowing that Essex is #1 and Riverheads is #2.
Get all the brackets in by kickoff Friday, and no editing after kickoff.
I will post my bracket below, and I would like it if everyone could use this same/similar format, so when I tally up points it will be easier and save me some time. Also, since Essex, Sussex, Franklin, and Riverheads all have a bye in round one, everyone will automatically get 1 point for each of them making it to round 2. I find it easier to keep up with the bracket by listing them in the bracket.
Let me know if you guys have any questions.
