Following up from the baseball tournament manager meeting at Wright State, we have the actual drawing/seeding for the baseball teams. The drawing will take place at Troy High school with each head coach in the section to represent their teams. The voting for the seeds have already taken place online. Dave and I are setting up all the paperwork to reveal each team’s seed as well as creating a spreadsheet to make sure all their documentation is turned in (roster, emergency medical forms, contact information). We will then turn all this into OHSAA. In addition, we have created packets for the school to take home with them if they are a host team (higher seeds). This includes tickets, baseballs and spreadsheets to report financials. One every coach shows up, we went over basic OHSAA rules and then let the coaches pick where they wanted to be placed in the tournament. The highest seed picks first and then it trickles down from there. It was very interesting to see how coaches placed their teams based on matchups and possible future pairings from different sections. There was a lot of tension in the room as some teams made surprising moves going after others. It was very fun to see. Once they selected their spots, Dave an I filled out the tournament bracket to be sent to OHSAA. In addition, we completed packets by dispersing more tickets to home sites and handed out to each coach. Very fun day.
