Most tournaments don't reseed after each round. They set the seedings, game time, locations, etc... ahead of time. Therefore, with 1 & 2, getting byes, most tournaments assume the next best teams will win, meaning seeds 3 & 4.

While this does not always happen, the intent is to have 1 play the lowest remaining team - 4, while 2 and 3 play each other.

It's not perfect as you describe because upsets can mess with this structure, but it is the most common practice for tournaments.

Thanks. I figured it was just because it was logistically easier, and schedules could be set. Thanks for the clarification.

Herm upsets Godwin in the first round at Godwin 2-1.
Damion Jones hits the go ahead 2 out RBI in the 7th and Brandon Taylor dominated as Herm takes on Freeman at 7 tomorrow at Godwin.

Tucker beats PH 3-0 tonight at JRT behind a great pitching performance by Micah Gorman, going the whole game, and having 13 K's. Dylan Gonzales went 2-3 with an RBI.

Herm vs. Freeman at 7
Tucker vs. Deep Run at 5

Both games at Godwin tomorrow night (Tuesday)

The completion of the Hermitage-Freeman semifinal has been moved to Thursday at 5:00pm. Freeman leads 2-1 in the bottom of the 4th.

Following that game at 7:05pm, the winner faces Deep Run for the district championship.

The Hermitage/Freeman winner will clinch a Central Region tournament berth and will meet James River in the quarterfinals.
