This was a failed bracket. Conspiracy or not, it’s not hard to make a bracket.
Step 1: A/B from a region opposite half
Step 2: Place remaining teams
4 regions had A/B same half, 1 was same QUAD, the one that had both finalists from 2022.
It’s not a reach to see intention.

@TownBallTuesday
It’s more that all regions should have the ability to have their A/B seeds meet in the finals should they win to get there.
Previous champs was/is irrelevant in this argument, although, it would be smart to keep those teams on opposite sides to allow for the potential rematch
@csspringers
Doesn’t the state require all players who didn’t play 4 games with a team the prior year to re-sign a new contract? Why is that not the same thing as being released?
