There has been a great proposal presented to the KWCA about this very issue, by Coach Alley, I believe. It is a written procedure for separating only the regional champs based on certain factors (previous year state finishes, etc.). The idea is to be sure to not have the standout top 2 kids meet in the semis if at all possible. And if none of the criteria applied, then the bracket did the random placement as the brackets are done now.

I am not sure what happened to the proposal at the KSHSAA level??

Any help anyone?
