blueandgold Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Bored, so figured I'd do this again. I'm going to seed these based on traditional seeding formats and seeding based on finish at semi-state to see how different it is. Traditional seeding criteria as follows: 10 matches towards record H2H wins Winning percentage Previous state experience Seeds (1-16) Jake Hockaday (Brownsburg), Jr., 33-2 - Two-time state champion, undefeated against Indiana competition Tylin Thrine (New Castle), So., 35-0 - 2023 state champion Hayden DeMarco (Chesterton), Sr., 44-0 - Two-time state medalist, 2024 semi-state champion Jackson Bradley (Cowan), So., 33-0 - 2023 state medalist, 2024 semi-state champion Eddie Goss (Center Grove), Jr., 33-5 - 2023 state medalist Carter Fielden (Garrett), So., 36-5 - 2023 state medalist Jack Davis (Bishop Chatard), So., 39-3 Tye Linser (Western), Sr., 32-3 Keith Parker (Ben Davis), Sr., 39-6 Quinten Schoeff (Avon), So., 32-8 Sonny Sessa (Crown Point), So., 21-12 Cole Vandygriff (New Pal), Jr., 28-7 Isaac Kuhn (Hamilton Heights), Sr., 30-6 Hayden Fritz (West Central), 41-3 Cole Stuffel (Yorktown), Sr., 33-10 Dylan Fernandez (Lafayette Harrison), Sr., 32-13 Pairings First Round #1 Hockaday (Brownsburg) vs. #16 Fernandez (Lafayette Harrison) #2 Thrine (New Castle) vs. #15 Stuffel (Yorktown) #3 DeMarco (Chesterton) vs. #14 Fritz (West Central) #4 Bradley (Cowan) vs. #13 Kuhn (Hamilton Heights) #5 Goss (CG) vs. #12 Vandygriff (New Pal) #6 Fielden (Garrett) vs. #11 Sessa (Crown Point) #7 Davis (Chatard) vs. #10 Schoeff (Avon) #8 Linser (Western) vs. #9 Parker (Ben Davis) Quarterfinal #1 Hockaday (Brownsburg) vs. #8 Linser (Western)/#9 Parker (Ben Davis) #2 Thrine (New Castle) vs. #7 Davis (Chatard) #3 DeMarco (Chesterton) vs. #6 Fielden (Garrett)/#11 Sessa (Crown Point) #4 Bradley (Cowan) vs. #5 Goss (CG) Now, pairing based on semi-state placement. Champs earn 1-4, runner-ups are 5-8, thirds are 9-12, and fourths are 13-16. Traditional seeding separation after that. Seeds (1-16) Jake Hockaday (Brownsburg), Jr., 33-2 - EV semi-state champion Tylin Thrine (New Castle), So., 35-0 - NC semi-state champion Hayden DeMarco (Chesterton), Sr., 44-0 - EC semi-state champion Jackson Bradley (Cowan), So., 33-0 - FW semi-state champion Eddie Goss (Center Grove), Jr., 33-5 - EV semi-state runner-up Tye Linser (Western), Sr., 32-3 - FW semi-state runner-up Sonny Sessa (Crown Point), So., 21-12 - EC semi-state runner-up Cole Vandygriff (New Pal), Jr., 28-7 - NC semi-state runner-up Carter Fielden (Garrett), So., 36-5 - FW semi-state third place Hayden Fritz (West Central), Sr., 41-3 - EC semi-state third place Jack Davis (Bishop Chatard), So., 39-3 - NC semi-state third place Keith Parker (Ben Davis), Sr., 39-6 - EV semi-state third place Isaac Kuhn (Hamilton Heights), Sr., 30-6 - NC semi-state fourth place Quinten Schoeff (Avon), So., 32-8 - EV semi-state fourth place Cole Stuffel (Yorktown), Sr., 33-10 - FW semi-state fourth place Dylan Fernandez (Lafayette Harrison), Sr., 32-13 - EC semi-state fourth place Pairings First Round #1 Hockaday (Brownsburg) vs. #16 Fernandez (Lafayette Harrison) #2 Thrine (New Castle) vs. #15 Stuffel (Yorktown) #3 DeMarco (Chesterton) vs. #14 Schoeff (Avon) #4 Bradley (Cowan) vs. #13 Kuhn (Hamilton Heights) #5 Goss (CG) vs. #12 Parker (Ben Davis) #6 Linser (Western) vs. #11 Davis (Chatard) #7 Sessa (Crown Point) vs. #10 Fritz (West Central) #8 Vandygriff (New Pal) vs. #9 Fielden (Garrett) Quarterfinal #1 Hockaday (Brownsburg) vs. #9 Fielden (Garrett) #2 Thrine (New Castle) vs. #7 Sessa (Crown Point) #3 DeMarco (Chesterton) vs. #6 Linser (Western)/#11 Davis (Chatard) #4 Bradley (Cowan) vs. #5 Goss (CG) Interesting match-ups all around either way, but the Bradley/Goss match-up would be consistent. If seeds held, Thrine would have interesting quarterfinal match-ups with either Sessa and Davis in dependent upon which sim you choose.

MatTime Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Interesting. Would be nice if the state champs were on opposite sides. They should be seeded 1 and 2 so as to not face each other until finals. How does seeding work currently? Semi-State champs separated and everyone else blind draw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just finding out Illinois uses criteria for 1 seeds only . Biggest point getter is returning State Champ , next runner up 3-8th. 37 + wins , 32-36 wins after .

Semi-State champs separated and everyone else blind draw? --Each quarter bracket has one kid from each semi-state, a 1st Placer, a 2nd, a 3rd, and a 4th --1st from a given semi-state will be in the opposite half from the 2nd and 3rd from the same semi-state --following these rules, qualifiers are randomly placed in the brackets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
