The four regional champions are seeded. They are each in their own quarter bracket, and the second man from that regional is on the other side. If one regional is stacked, they can have a re-match. In this 125 weight class, from just taking a quick look, you are right. I don't know 5A at all, but what you say seems to be true. It also seems that at HWY the four best kids MAY be meeting in the quarters. Once again, I don't know these kids well at all. Look at 189, last match. Another tough draw. Still, I think that the way it is done now is about the only way that it can be done. It would be almost impossible to seed every weight class fairly with out head to head. We have certainly been down the seeding on record only theory on another thread. This is why it is so important to seed regionals correctly, then expect it all to be thrown out with an upset or two. I don't really have an answer. I am not a big Al Davis or Oakland Raiders fan, but he said it best. "Just win, baby!"
