For all other sports as the only 1a in a split conference Polk would have had to finish top 3 or with .500 or better record which they easily did in wrestling they were punished for losing a duel to RS who was also ranked top 5 in 2a and won in first 2 rounds Polk beat both Robbinsville and Avery head to head during season but got seeded behind them because of this.

Yes but for all other playoffs you would have had a playoff bracket that was double ( 32 Western Seeds instead 16). That is probably the reason for the "concession" that had to be made due to your brackets being smaller. On the other side of it, Polk gets to host regionals as a 6-seed due to proximity while Pisgah gets to drive to St.Stephens as the No. 1 seed. The dual brackets are just different.

I get that there are only 16 teams in the bracket but seeding Polk with the conference champions wouldn't have change who or how many teams made the playoffs, same teams would have gotten in they just would have been seeded differently but it's all good as you said they get to host the 3rd and 4th round but it's more of the point about matchups every team would have shifted one place after Mt Airy who matches up with who matters.
I get you. Had that seeding happened your bottom half of the bracket would have still looked the same for regionals but top half would have probably been Mt. Airy/ Avery. This is one of Avery's weaker duals team in quite sometime though, IMO.
