| I don't know the whole skinny but what in the hell is going on with the A tourney this year!
Three teams each from Skyline and Saint Paul in one bracket and three teams each from PN and RV in the other bracket.....
....with the top three teams from the six on each side moving onto the next portion of the state tourney?!?!?!?
Why was this created? To give SL and SP a better chance? Was it so there is a better chance of SL or SP actually being in the tourney on the last weekend?
Who knows but what a farse.....perhaps there can be purple ribbons for sixth place this year too!
Joke!!!!

| St. Paul had 3 teams in top 4 spots last year. It is a huge advantage for St. Paul with Skyline being so weak this year.

| I agree with cankles.. PN and SL had no representation in last years final 4.. So according to last year this is isn't helping SP much at all.. Im not saying it will be too challenging in this bracket but the other side should be a decent bracket depending on where certain teams end up..
How are the brackets lined up? Is it top team in one league versus the bottom in the other and the 2 seeds play eachother?

| FYI, this concept was developed by the West Siders, in part I believe, as an atempt to boost attendance, recognize TC road congestion and Tonka curfew limimtations. If it doesn't work, try Plan B next year.

| not sure about the tonka curfew, but i know attendence/gate was a big part in the brackets. not as many west side fans make their way east - not as many east side fans go to tonka to watch their teams. only makes sense to try it out. In my many years in the Class A tournament, there are always those who complain about a variety of things. In 2010, seems nothing is new...
Good luck to all... PS - Hey OT, you have to be in Class A to participate but not to attend, so assume we will all see you at Tonka!

| Lanky.....hopefully my team is in the B tourney so I can't make it out to Tonka for any A tourney stuff.
Although I will be making a run to the Vet with my turfs on next Wednesday in part two of the "circle jerk" in a start against the Mighty Millers!
