Conversely, "T" has the FBR 37, 38 and 42 teams. That just doesn't seem right.

Affords one a coveted position.

I totally agree - there are teams like Titans and Andro Blue that not only got higher seeds than they should've but they got them in a way that also messed up week 2 brackets. I hope the LH people use the 'no two teams from the same club in the same bracket' excuse to make things right but they would have to change a few brackets and I doubt they do it. I know you have to just go out and compete but when a fourth place team from one bracket has an easier path to LH than the team that got second in a bracket it's hard not to get peeved.

When are the brackets released and official?

No offense to you, but my 10 year old could have got 12 of the top 13 right. It is the teams after that they screwed up so bad.

FC Premier...we all knew they were not a 20 seed...and this weekend proved it.
Sting Parker...we all knew they weren't a 27 seed...and this weekend proved it.

I could go on and on....some teams are still going to pay the price next weekend for the terrible seeding this weekend.

Bad job LH indeed.

Agreed on FC Premier, but Sting Parker wasn't that much better than the seeding they got. They took their beating from Dynamo, played a game again LP where the score really didn't reflect the how it looked on the field and beat Crush just like everyone else.

Not to mention if you put any of the 7 discussed remaining "best teams"
left for week 2 in seeding where Sting "Q" or Sting East got seeded most
of these teams would have won those brackets too.

Again, seeding does matter.

Alas, those teams didn't earn a high enough seed to be in that bracket. Whine, whine!! And at least one of those teams (umm, Dynasty) didn't win that exact bracket. Yes, seeding matters. But seeding is earned.

Y1-Solar Stark
Y2-Andromenda
Y3-Odysessy
Y4-LP Thompson

If this Bracket is true then two very good teams are going to miss out on D1. LP Thompson, Andromeda, and Stark are all very good teams and Odyssey has a very good defense which will limit teams from getting maximum points. All these games would be close.

What logic is this? They should change seedings because a the bottom seed has a "good defense and will limit teams from getting max points"?!?!?

Play the darned games...those who deserve will move on. The teams seeded 4th in brackets aren't there merely to help top seeds get "max points"...you have to earn them the good old fashioned way.

I think the point is that it is a bracket of death; that the road through this bracket is more difficult than the others; that the LH committee made some mistakes; take your pick. You can pick apart posts all you want - bracket T is ridiculous compared to Y and others. Pick away.

Just an observation. Not complaining about anything. It is what it is. Just tougher for some than others. Which is always going to be the case. Really not sure why you think I was asking for anything from my post.

Kudos to Sting Dunstan for making D1 the first week. Quiet, friendly, classy group who have gone about their business of teaching the girls how to play at a higher level.

Good job to you and your team.

No offense taken, we'll know how well they seeded after next week(i.e. which teams from 21-30 make D1 or does anyone outside LH's top 30 get in)
