What happens for all the "errors' the usually happen with the seedings favouring a certain club?

anon find an 'error' and share it with us.

Will have a look and get back to you.

What do I get for finding one?

can almost garuantee the first game of pool A in 18 boys state will be between Sturt and Forrestville so they dont have to flog themselves the day before the cross over games

And the game against the 6th seed will be a early Saturday morning game, so the coach of 1 team can try and have his kids out oif bed earlier to get an advantage.

So you haven't found any errors in the pools?

Reserve U14 Girls.

Mavs have mysteriously be seeded 5th instead of 9th and thus avoid Forestville even though they didnt play summer. 8 teams who played summer seem to have nominated.

why would they be seeded 9th? They didn't come up from Division 3, they;re a brand new team.

Obviously the Committee decided they were better than 9th.

From the pools document
* Eastern did not compete in the Summer competition, so has been subjectively seeded at position 5

So is that an error or a difference of opinion?

Absolutely a brand new team. How exactly do they get seeded 5th? What do they have to go on?

Perhaps a rumour after 1 game that they are good. How many different factors could effect the outcome of that game?

If 8 teams play summer, surely they should get the top 8 seeds, and new teams should come in below. Otherwise, why play summer? Or use summer to grade teams?

Otherwise why cant a div 3 team be "subjectively seeded 5th". It opens up a can of worms on a number of levels. one of which is the recomendations come FROM Bsa to the committee. And what club is that person from, and why is it that rumour has it this team is good and then avoids both the top 2 Forestville teams, but gets to play both Norwood and Sturt?

The question is, why was this the only teams graded in such a way? And what was used to suggest this as a seeding? Yes it can be done. But why?

Who suggesated it and was it explained that it could be concieved to benefit the club they come from rather than using a rule, and was this explained to the competition committee?

and who cares its the reserves competition, its only being used as a BSA cash cow, the only teams that should be allowed to play on this weekend are division 1 teams

haha that's code for - anon won, and found a seeding error. And the challenger has tried to deflect that...

134 isnt the person that was talking about the seedings

i promise

i am only interested in division 1 the only division that should count

anon if this is the only team to be graded this way maybe that's because this is the only team at State Champs which didn't play in the District summer season?

Clearly you have a personal grudge. Move on mate.

Cash cow?

Compare nomination fee to Norwood and try and say this is run as a money maker.

Easter Classic, now there's a cash cow.

If this sort of thing haddnt happened every year for the last 5 years, including fa certain person having their team in the wrong pool, it might not be an issue.

What sort of thing? If you have an issue why not go through your club and fix it?

There is no error. Your Eastern issue has been explained.

There's no seeding error. And when the draw is released I'm sure you'll see that every grade is programmed the same way.

You're chasing ghosts man. Let it go.

It's happened time and time again over the last 3 or so years.

The Eastern issue has been "explained" under the terrible "subjectivity" clause. In other words, in a way where there is no accountability for such a decision. No suprises there though.

I'm not the anon talking about it previously, and this year it's looks pretty right for all the grades I've kept up with - but to say it hasn't happened in the past (for whatever the reason may be) is plain wrong.

they don't

the competitions committee make these decisions.

Sturt U16B defeated by North I think at Norwood carnival.

Southern U14B easily beaten by North tonight who are seeded 10th. Can't see Southern getting anywhere in State Champs if they can't beat North

Sturt beat Woodville in 12 boys in a thriller.

Good to see the draws up!!
