Re: Michigan 2017
As far as I can tell, the only advantage to a lower number is that you sit closer to the front at the awards ceremony.
Anyone making any predictions for States?

Re: Michigan 2017
Funny you say that; apparently there was thought of specifically assigning seating in the auditorium to have teams which are more likely to get a lot of medals closer to the front. If this did go through, I'm guessing that the seating assignments won't just follow team number (I love Region 1 and all, but they probably aren't going to be getting the most medals).MIScioly wrote:As far as I can tell, the only advantage to a lower number is that you sit closer to the front at the awards ceremony.

Re: Michigan 2017
It makes sense to do that. My guess is that this is how they did it: by having the best teams from each region with lower team numbers. I'm betting that they still do it in order of team number. It is better than the old system I guess, but I think Grand Rapids Christian, Allendale and Plymouth Christian from Region 12 will get several medals, and they are in the 50s for team number.John Richardsim wrote:Funny you say that; apparently there was thought of specifically assigning seating in the auditorium to have teams which are more likely to get a lot of medals closer to the front.

As far as predictions, that's why I asked without providing any I think it is really hard to predict this year. I do think I have a good bet on the top 6 though, with Northville, Troy, DCD, Grand Haven, Forest Hills Central, and IA Central. But don't make me put them in order

Re: Michigan 2017
Well, now we know. The teams numbered 50 and above, for both B and C, will be seated in the balcony. That's fine for some regions but schools from the strong regions will medal.MIScioly wrote:I still don't know how they will fit all of the teams in the auditorium at MSU.

Re: Michigan 2017
Yeah, they shouldn't have put some of the teams from stronger regions up there. For example, from Region 12, I can basically guarantee that Allendale, Grand Rapids Christian, and Plymouth Christian will all get medals, probably multiple medals.meierfra wrote:Well, now we know.

Re: Michigan 2017
I guess I'm both surprised and not surprised. States has always been 6 medals - then again, States had also always been 48 teams. It's always nice to have more awards, I guessJohn Richardsim wrote:Our head coach.MIScioly wrote:Really? Where did you hear that?John Richardsim wrote: Apparently it is 8.
