Down to 4 Contest

[mikesalem]

Pick your semifinalists (Final 4) for each Class. It will be interesting to choose before the season starts and see who gets the most points. Use the schedule below to pick a team from each Region and the 6 Classes.





2 pts for each correct Semifinal pick.
16 pts for each correct Final pick.
32 pts for each correct Champion pick.


Example:


C6

A Landstown *
B CD Hylton

C Annandale
D Centreville **


I just picked the 1st team from each Region for the example. Indicate the runner up with 1 * and the champion with 2 ** We'll go with the traditional A/B & C/D format unless the VHSL makes a change.

Picks need to be in by Thursday, August 28th, @7

Tomorrow is the deadline. Get your semifinal picks in.

 

[Pizzzzza2025]

Hey @mikesalem

Are we going to have to re-pick due to the thread “ Semifinal Playoff Format”

 

[mikesalem]

Hey @mikesalem

Are we going to have to re-pick due to the thread “ Semifinal Playoff Format”

We could redo C5 and C6, but how can we predict C4? It's not pre-set which Regions will play in the Semifinals.

 

[Pizzzzza2025]

I don't know...it certainly puts a monkeywrench into everything, doesn't it.

Perhaps get some imput from some of the members of this group?

And it's too bad because C4 is one of the toughest to pick!

 

[mikesalem]

We need to redo our C5 & C6 Semifinal matchups as the VHSL made changes.

C4 is doing a Region seeding which means there are no fixed Regional matchups. We really can't predict who will face whom. So we'll just award points for who you already picked as Regional champions, and who you picked as state champions for C4.
You will not be allowed to change the 4 teams you picked for Region champions, you can only change the winner of the new Semifinal matchups.

C5 pairings are A/C & B/D

C6 pairings are A/D & B/C
