We enjoyed our visit to Brookwood, as usual. I would love to know how this event turned out, however, as we got knocked out in the round of 8 and had to run back to Birmingham. Anyone know who won?
Thanks again to the staff at BISB.

Not to be pushy, but will stats be eventually posted for this event? They may have been posted on a Georgia site, but I haven't seen anything come up yet, and would like to see them at some point if possible.
Thanks!
Thanks!

If anyone is interested in seeing them, I can post prelim stats (which is all I have right now), but it would have to be as an attachment because they won't be on SQBS for some time as I understand it.

Re: 27th Annual BISB - Brookwood H.S., Snellville, GA 11/22/
I don't really understand this. I know Brookwood had Coach Payne out on Maternity Leave right before this event, but it was pretty clear from the standings that were being posted in the hallways during the tourney that they were using SQBS on site to enter the matches--or if they weren't, they were using something very very similar that was generating a lot of statistical output. If you've already handled the first five rounds for 60 teams, why is it a big deal to enter the playoffs into the same program and post them? Alternatively, at least post a list of the matches and results. The staff for this event were quite good, as always, and I don't believe that Brookwood, given their experience and size, is lacking in people who could finish this job. I hope they do so soon. Normally, I wouldn't complain, but our team doesn't get out of state very often, and rarely gets to face a field that has this much talent. We have to make our decisions about what we can and can't do nationally and where our financial priorities are based on results from events like this, and it really helps to have the full picture, not just our little slice of the pie.
*EDIT* - I have been contacted with a reasonable explanation of what happened with this event and want to reiterate that I was happy with the tourney and the staff, and am only interested in seeing the stats completed for the purpose of helping my own team's case for travel funding with my administrators.

They were, in fact.
Based off the playoff and prelim stats and assuming 5th-8th are sorted by PPG over the entire tournament...
Centennial was 5th with 350 ppg, Hoover was 6th with 346.25 ppg, Alpharetta was 7th with 335 ppg, and GSMST B was 8th with 205 ppg.
