Bracket 2 looks like the group of death. Prob no wildcards coming from this bunch. Group 1 looks the easiest. How are these brackets determined?

Depends on who you are saying its easiest for?  Agree group 2 is toughest with two top 5 teams in it.

Not sure if I am viewing the latest rankings.

Bracket 1 has the 8, 10, 18 and 21 ranked teams.

Bracket 2 has the 4, 5, 6 and a top ten-like Kitterman team.

Bracket 3 has the 2, 15, 16 team along with TSC Winters.

I smell home cookin!

Looking at the Flights, they have Elite as the lowest seed in Bracket 3. The other two brackets appear to have seeded the teams correctly.

I agree, something fishy is going on here. LP Elite ranked last and LP Premier first? Wtf

I've looked at this & several other brackets. Get the feeling that seeding was minimal this year.

Agree that 1 & 2 were probably seeded correctly per group, but not as a whole. Referencing our lowly little team, in group A, we have a W-L-D record of 2-0-1. Against group C, 2-0-0. Group B, 1-5-0. Looks like we have little chance of advancing to the elimination round, plus we play teams we've played more than any other. Oh well, at least we get a chance to prepare against the best teams in the tournament (outside of Elite).

Who is your team?

Based on the seedings, does anyone know if the tournament shirts will say "Legacy Freedom Cup" on it

The red-headed stepsister.

That narrows it down!?

Everyone needs to quit whining about the way the seeding was done. It happens in almost every tournament including the LH QT. I doubt there is some great conspiracy out there to screw over the other teams that paid to play in this tournament to the benefit of a few. That would be bad business and teams would not come back. So what if your DD has a tough round robin grouping they still have to knock off the best of the other brackets to win the shinny little trophy or medal. Let the kids battle it out in the 105 degree heat so the parents can come on this board to gloat when their DD's team wins and make excuses when their DD's team gets knocked off. Chances are LP Elite is going to lay the wood on the other teams in this tournament anyway so what does it matter. Although I would like to see Elite play Premier and see what would happen.

Somebody's grumpy

Meh, no big deal. At least we get to play three of the toughest teams which hopefully will further prepare us for LH. It would just be nice to be able to get out of group play in the regions biggest tournament. Good luck to all who entered.

Seems like bracket 2 folks really should be only 1s to complain in gold.

In silver A, bracket 1 looks heavy compared to others.

In silver B, pure crapshoot

Bracket A ????   Reallly.  No top teams.

Yeah I know her.

Prediction: All 4 teams in bracket 2 advance.

Your math must be helluva good..

Well, unlike your comfy bracket, none of our games will be 15-0. Ours will be 0-0, 1-0, 2-1, etc. I can see everyone in bracket 2 getting a win, each with a relatively good GF/GA.

Umm you are not looking at the current rankings
bracket 1 has 17, 3, 5, and 15
bracket 2 has 7, 4, 8 and tsc kitterman
bracket 3 has 13, 1, 11 and tsc winters

so bracket 2 looks the toughest and most evenly balanced
Bracket 1 is top and bottom heavy so could produce 2 teams
bracket 3 depends on where winters is but could be bottom heavy

who will win this tournament?
