The PIAA: It never ceases to amaze me, how they continually manage to find ways to screw things up.

I agree that they should study the success of the 17-20 kids. If only one of the 56 placed, then is it worth it. Although the same could be said for 25-33 at nationals.

Seeding is going to help, all around. But if they are going to seed, then ALL FOUR regional champs need seeded, 1 to 4, not just seed the top kid or the top two kids.

If we're going down the "if only one" road ... if the other 55 go 0-2, then it's not worth it.

Fortunately that's exactly what they're doing: seeding all 4 AA regional champs and all 5 AAA regional champs.

With history as our guide, we will be back here b!thing about something they screw up. At least it's progress of some kind.

Does anyone know the original reasoning for adding the extra four per weight? Seems obvious but maybe they had more than one reason.
