Thank you. I hate this cross bracketing idea. Imagine a school with almost no funding, like Fulton City, having to drive to the east side of the state to get crushed. I think it's gonna lead to some forfeits.

By and large they have done a fair job of making sure that scenario doesn't happen, specifically in the two smallest classes. With that said, it still doesn't make sense and you are still going to have long road trips only for running clocks.

The District with Walton-Verona for example is paired with CAL/DeSales. Walton-Verona may be able to hold their own, but the 3rd and 4th place teams will get crushed. You also have Glasgow's District playing NewCath's district.

The most glaring issue though is 3A with Belfry and Central's Districts paired.

I see no good that can come of Pike Central driving 4.5 hours to play at Central or Bardstown driving 4.5 hours fr Belfry to put a running clock on them. It also makes no sense for Belfry to go to Central for a Regional Title and essentially pass through two or three other Districts to get there.
