Sectional tournaments start on the 17th on the ohsaa calendar, and the Southeast districts have sectional games starting that day. So that would be a week before, well 8 days
Ok... but why does the Southeast district start on the 17th? Most teams in the Northeast haven't even finished the regular season by then. Why not have all the District Tournaments going on at the same time? Or if they want to have the Southeast tournament early, then just vote for that district this week and vote for the other districts later on.
Bottom line... if the OHSAA wants to vote for each districts seeding at the same time, then all the district tournaments should be held at the same time. If the OHSAA wants to have the tournaments at different times, the seedings should be determined at different times. Is it that difficult?
