SPVA Conference

[name123]

I have no rooting interest or affiliation with this conference whatsoever. I stumbled across the bracket for their conference tournament and found it really odd that a team who lost their first round matchup won the conference tournament. Has anyone ever seen a bracket quite like this, or know of anyone besides Bridgeport who won their conference while losing in the tournament?

I didn't realize I posted the girls bracket previously.

Yes with six teams this year they did the goofiest seeding I’ve ever seen. I think they realized quickly that it backfired. Should have just gave the top two seeds a bye.

Next year they will be back at 8 teams so it be back to normal.

agree this is unuasual

I agree that this method is really outside of what I would call normal.

Bridgeport certainly took the toughest route possible to that Conference Title. I assume that they beat the 1 Seed, 2 Seed, and lost to the 3 Seed in the first round?

Bridgeport lost to Kimball in the first round, beat Perkins in the second round (Bport was the #1 losing team) and beat Kimball in the championship.

The GNAC did something like this when it was down to six schools. IMHO, it's working too hard to get every team three games. OTOH, a champion is whoever follows the rules and wins the last game.

BTW, The North Platte Class A district tournament in 1942 used a strange semi-double elimination bracket. (Signing off after using the only three acronyms I know!)
