This is why any state playoff tournament should be single elimination. 8 seeds would be tanking like crazy in the NCAA tournament if they knew they could avoid Kentucky in the second round and still get to play their way out of a losers bracket.


I'm not sure how TN does it but it sounds like AL where they have Area play and the top 2 from Area make it. But you still play for area championship to determine home court

TN has districts (which is where this happened) and the top 4 move on to Regionals. Regionals are two districts matched up. The third place team would get paired on the same side of the bracket as Blackman, hence both teams trying to throw the game. In the Regionals, the top two teams advanced to Sectionals/Sub-State, where the winner of the Regionals host a game and the loser travels to play. It is a one game "win and you're in" deal. State has 8 teams, single elimination.

All of this was correct some 15 years ago when I played.
