The updated final (I think) ratings for various rankings is done. Of the eight rankings, the one used to seed the tournament was the very worst at actually picking winners of the games. It isn’t as easy picking winners are one might think. You should try it next year. Rank 16 teams for all twelve tournaments. But it looks like it is fairly easy to pick winners better than the WIAA RPI did. Even good old ‘won-loss’ managed to have a higher portion of correct game picks than WIAA RPI.
I don’t know what WIAA has up its sleeve for tournament format. Don’t know who will be the official ball of the 2018 tournaments. But I sure hope that the ranking method for seeding gets some rework. Four of the girls championship games were a repeat of a regional game. Three of the results switched. How’s that for making sure the top teams don’t meet until the championship? At least the regional games weren’t loser out, although the three teams that won the regional and lost the championship are probably wanting a rubber game.
