Happened last year too. Region schedule is mostly pre-determined before the year starts (2 year rotation - decent chance next year that game is more likely earlier); teams can move games around if needed but it rarely happens for anything other than weather or the possibility of creating B/G doubleheaders.

You RARELY see Region 1's top teams playing twice like Region 2 cause those teams either have tournaments they are a part of or the possibility to get out and schedule multiple top teams which the Top Region 1 teams do well. Enderlin, Kindred, Oak Grove, Central Cass have quite the non-region competition lined up (CC hasn't played most of them yet). Region 1 is also only allowed 20 regular season games unlike Region 2 & 7 that can schedule up to 21 games...so one less game available. The smaller schools closer to the SD border do tend to play each other twice but ONLY one game counts to the standings (another difference from R2).

Do you know the reason for the difference in number of games? I guess I just assumed that just about everyone would schedule up to whatever NDHSAA allowed.

Ya bc the Supts in Region 1 get the money for the play in games of Regionals not the state, and they refuse to change even when its not whats best for the kids.

Will the higher seed host it like they did in volleyball? I would think with more fans being allowed to games that we could see a traditional Region tournament. Plenty of things can change over the next month and a half, but hopefully by the time they get started we can get back to "normal" and the tournaments can take place in their usual locations.

110-108 is a ton of points even with it being double OT. Where was the score at the end of regulation?
