Headed to a tournament next weekend where there is no pool play, only an exhibition game (or two if you pay for it) and then a power bracket where they reseed as bracket play progresses. Coaches have been asked to give 1 team they would like to play. Question is who would you choose? There are 4 other local teams in it, so I would eliminate them. DD’s team is likely in the bottom 1/4 of the teams entered and more than half of the team hasn’t played a game in more than 2 months. So do you choose one of the top teams entered, a middle of the road team or one which you think you have a decent chance of beating?
Personally I would want to play one of the better teams but with some of personalities on that team I am afraid taking a beating in the 1st game will ruin them for the rest of the tournament...
Edit: I am not a coach so this is purely theoretical. Also this is 12U so an answer of “who cares” is perfectly acceptable
