Looking at http://www.upa.org/scores/tourn.cgi?div=20&id=6093 I see that it says Unseeded, but it looks like it might actually be seeded. I hope Grit isn't seeded 4th, as they lost at sectionals to a team that finished 8th in the section, and also in doing so effectively screwed up the final placements of all the non-DW teams from Texas that made regionals. For seeding regionals, sectionals results are pretty important. A bad loss at sectionals should be reflected in a team's seeding for regionals.

Grit may have messed things up for pool play, but in the games that counted they won when they needed. Suess took the brunt of this because now they are ranked below a team they beat on Saturday in pool play but never played on Sunday. There were a few small teams that ran out of steam on Sunday. Blame the other teams in the Sections for not pulling their weight. That stuff happens in pool play - teams get caught looking. Now, I will say Doublewide looked stronger than I have ever seen them at Sectionals! They never looked past any point and their rotation looked tight even when they were blowing us out. On to Atlanta to see how it all turns out. . .

Actually, looking at http://www.upa.org/scores/tourn.cgi?div=20&id=6205 , looks like Grit did lose in bracket play in the first round, not in pool play. They still won out the rest of their games to take second in the section, so good, rank them above the rest of the Texas teams. But as far as comparing them against teams from other sections, like a team that won all their games and the section itself, they shouldn't be ranked higher. It's not like Grit lost to Doublewide to take second. They lost to some chump team and then won out in the 2nd place bracket. I think there's a difference.
Would be pretty ridiculous for Grit to be seeded above Diablo. Common opponents are: Tanasi - Grit (0-1) v. Diablo (1-2) Sons of Liberty - Grit (0-1) v. Diablo (1-0)

So is anyone else irate that people have already left to travel to Atlanta without actually knowing the seedings? This is such a reoccurring complaint that frankly I am astonished that this hasn't been a major focal point of the UPA. At what point do we start spamming the RC?

i'm more upset that monup.wordpress.com hasn't done a Regional preview for all 15.5 teams. Fuck seedings.

Jeez what a bitch. You put up the tournament 24 hours before it happens and then you immediately have time to go on rsd and call people out for being upset. Why don't you ask for volunteers more than 24 hours in advance of the event? I could have put this shit up for you if you had asked. If you don't want to be the RC, don't be. Just don't keep everybody waiting for this info without any communication and then be all pissed off that people are anxious to get that info more than 24 hours in advance.

At least you're at the primary fields and not the unlined, dirt filled, too-short, 30+ minutes away fields... (with minimal parking, no dogs, etc).

They can't be worse than the Sectional fields we used......can they?

Hey fuck you. I didn't see anyone else playing regionals with 12 people.

Huh? My point was that you guys kept it close early in the weekend but ran out of steam with so few subs, so the disparity may not have been as big as the Sunday scores looked.
