No it doesn't....You can throw off on a very weak 1st round opponent.

Refer to the word "stud". Two stud starters could not have to have relief.

Not every district or region is created equally. And how often is there a "very weak" 1st round opponent in a regional tournament? Middlesboro played district runner-up South Laurel in the first round. Throwing off could have been a grave mistake. Additionally, as I said before, staffs at smaller schools drop off at a significantly greater rate than at larger schools.
