Oh the game this week between ER and Randleman will be very interesting. ER has 2 games left and Rand 2 1/2 so pitching could be very important if games are bunched up at the end of week because of rain.Yes, long way to go though...going to be tough to beat Randleman again, and then there is the conference tournament...If ER & Rand. split the two regular season meetings, then whichever one gets further in conference tournament gets seeded in tier of 1 seeds...then if anybody but the 1 seed wins conference tournament, then there will be another tier of 2 seeds for conference tournament winners....of course not all conferences have a tournament, and you have to figure some conference regular season champions will win their tournaments, but maybe not as many as you might think, as if you're already locked into one of the top seeds, some coaches may choose to not burn out their pitching to win a conference tournament that would not help their seeding, other coaches may give it everything they have to try to win conference tournament, especially if you could jump from 12 or 13 seed up to 5 or 6
Think the pod system was adopted to get away from teams from same conference playing first round match ups.
That has been true but an unforeseen, I believe, consequence has been the tremendous amount of travel for some teams caused by pod system. This appears to effect teams centrally located in the state the most.
As I have stated numerous time on this board ER has been lucky to qualify for the state playoffs in baseball,football and basketball within the last calendar year. As I have also stated the school has traveled approximately 11 hours just in 1st round games.
Now I ain't a mathematician but that is a little over 3 hour average, and that is just one way. By the time the athletes get home on a weeknight school is about to start for the next day?
I know there are many more people smarter than me that could make the pod system work with less travel times.
Some have suggested going to a best 2/3 series each week. Playoffs would need to be shortened to 32 total teams instead of 64 and expand by 1 week. Not sure if that's viable. Similar option would be to shorten to 32 teams (16 from East, 16 from West), doing single elimination for first 2 rounds, best 2/3 for 3rd round, regional finals, and state finals.In 1A lower the amount of teams. Some have no business in the playoffs. I also like the SC model with double elimination pods. It rewards good teams, not just a team with one arm.
Still some things could change in the 4A west with the CPC tournament winner taking the 1 seed if its West Forsyth, North Davidson, or Reagan. 4A East still has multiple conference still finishing conference play and I am not going to try to project wins/losses. With that being said, here is the 4A West Predictions. I will put their overall west seed in parenthesis.

If weather forecast is correct some tournaments may not be finished. Rain today and Thursday, Friday.I talked with the West Forsyth coach last night and it was my understanding that who ever went the farthest in the CPC tournament of the 3 tied for 1st would be the 1 seed from the CPC.
I take it you beat Randleman Friday?And ER would be PAC6 #1.
Randleman may want to play in galoshes.
Dude ER went to First Flight in 1st round last year.That is going to be a ride for wheatmore, but the fighting warriors might surprise people when landon is pitching.
