Fletcher wrote:What will QRF be used for this year in regard to the bracket? In the past it was the home field tie-breaker between like seeded teams from different regions. However, in this year's 9-Man and A football brackets it looks like they are only seeding 1-4 and the remainder are unseeded. Will it be used to determine home field for games between unseeded teams?

Fletcher wrote:Hey Run, does the #1 - #4 ranking drive the rest of the bracket match-ups?
In your example, you have Region 3 teams matched up initially vs Region 4 teams based on the fact that Velva (Region 3) is the #1 in QRF and Shiloh (or Bo.County) is #4 in QRF. Leaving Region 1 (QRF #3) to play Region 2 (QRF #2) in the same way. Which is the traditional #1 vs #4 and #2 vs #3 bracket setup.
Coincidentally, that lines up the bracket as West teams vs West teams and East teams vs East teams, at least in the first round.
My question is if the QRF for the top teams were to go:
#1 - Region 2 Langdon
#2 - Region 3 Velva
#3 - Region 1 Lisbon
#4 - Region 4 Shiloh
...would the bracket still be QRF #1 vs QRF #4 and QRF #2 vs QRF #3? This would setup Region 2 teams playing Region 4 teams in the first round and Region 3 teams playing Region 1 teams in the first round. OR, would the bracket line up Region 1 against Region 2 teams...and Region 3 against Region 4 teams to preserve the East / West boundaries and save on travel?
Sorry if that's confusing, I'm just wondering what takes priority, the #1 vs #4 and #2 vs #3 QRF matchups or geography?
