What Green says is true.
But when TD start monkeying around and try to give the host team an advantage instead of how things should be seeded, it just plain sucks to go to a tournament and play the same two or three teams. Not to mention facing a good team in the second round, knocking them out and then run rule the host in the championship.
Coaches won't pay to play at those tournaments for very long and will go spend the teams money elsewhere.
Yep...I see it all of the time. I look at the brackets and the host team or organization has a much easier path to get deep in the tourney. It's a load of you know what and there is always a note how the bracket is set by blind draw. Yeah, and monkeys are going to fly out of my butt.
I like it better when they seed the bracket from pool play.
