Contrarian,

You are correct about why MT adopted the 2 team system for their AA schools. When I was there (many moons ago) we didn't have a divisional tournament, we had 16 teams and every school took their varsity only team to state.

Having said that, they do have full 16 man brackets. With 7 schools at the divisional tournament, that equals 14 teams. 1 Varsity and 1 JV per school. The top 8 of each weight class qualify for state. Therefore, with 2 divisional tournaments, qualifying 8 kids per weight.....when they get to state, every bracket is a full 16 man bracket.
