More ICSTS/ranking stuff

A couple more things about the regionals and state tournaments:

Last year in the state tournament, Clinton had to play Fulton County in one of the semifinals while Calumet played Horizon, I believe. From the records and head-to-head play, if the tournament was seeded, Fulton Co. should have been seeded #1, Clinton #2, Calumet #3, and Horizon #4. Instead, Clinton had to play Fulton County first. These things should be seeded so the best two teams are lined up to play in the finals.

Case in point: regionals this Saturday. I've already covered the fact the Faith should be in another region for balance. Now I want to look at the brackets and assumed seeding in the northwest regional as currently constituted. There's enough evidence to seed this pretty definitively: Faith #1, Heritage #2, Calumet/Calvary #3, and Duneland #4. But instead of Faith/Duneland and Heritage/Calumet, we have Faith/Calumet and Heritage/Duneland. Go figure.

So here is my state rankings:

1. Faith
2. Heritage Christian
3. Calumet/Calvary
4. Columbus Inferno
5. Clinton

Again, I haven't seen Columbus or Horizon. But from what I've found regarding results on the internet (e.g., Clinton beat Horizon head-to-head; Faith beat Heritage, Clinton and Calumet, and maybe others; Clinton didn't get out of the round of sixteen in the Calumet tournament while Faith, Heritage Christian and Calumet finished first, second and fourth, respectively), this is how I see the rankings.
