isnt, doesnt, that happen all the time in the playoffs? 1 loss team vs no loss team, 1 loss team wins in a dramatic comeback win with 7 seconds left and there isnt any chance at payback.....
The bracket is split so it's round robin between the 4 teams on each side of the bracket. Making it 2 rounds of that. With the 3rd round being the elimination game with the undefeated team of the round robin having a bye in round 3. Round 4 is the state semis and round 5 is the championship
It's a semi round robin format with the higher seeds getting a bye. It's really a minimum of four rounds and not five as losers get a second shot in the first round.
