I understand the travel in slowpitch and fall baseball but in fastpitch and spring baseball I still think they should do it by region and not sending teams clear across the state (I know about travel from baseball in HS during the spring)

Missing the point, I get you have teams that want to travel but you got some that are high ranked that aren't always for travelling (Capable of pulling the upset yes but a 3hr drive?)

Canute went to Vici a few years ago as the 9 and beat them to make State. Not saying it doesn’t happen usually depends on how the rankings fall and any upsets in districts

I remember a year in baseball a team had a losing record up until districts (Went 15-15 to end the season) and got to State, Not sure if it happened in fastpitch but I seen it happen in baseball when SW Covenant upset Vici but then got the unlucky draw against a dominant Wright City team that year

Some coaches are making a push to take the ranking system away and go back to the old model of having select coaches from each side of the state come together and do a weekly ranking. Dont be surprised to see it put on the agenda this summer.

They need to go back to that system, The rankings are too flawed
There are 32 regionals. 20 ranked teams. Regionals should have a 1 top 8 team, and 1 team ranked 8-16. They should be matched up 1-16, 2-15, 3-14, etc...... The rest they should divide geographically, but put 17-20 if they are still alive with the 5,6,7,8 seeds. Seems simple to me. There are ZERO schools who would have a problem with traveling if it was fair.
Tell that to the 2A-4A teams that hate the extra travel for district play during regular season

hunter with all due respect, that is throughout the season. This is for 2 days. The rankings are fine now, having a few "coaches" do it would be awful.
Prepare yourself. The coaches of perennial state tournament teams are the ones pushing for it.

Im not gonna waste my time arguing with you, Coming from the guy who accused Canute's baseball team of doing things that wasn't true

I hope they get what they want this time and I bet money they will
