Couple of rematches in round one of Open. Folsom drops down to Division I after Friday's loss. D1 bracket is really good as usual. A number of those first round games could go either way

I’m not at all versed in the mystical arts of seeding teams, so perhaps someone can school me. What is the formula?
For example, in D2, Lincoln-Stockton loses by 17 in the second round in D1 and gets dropped and seeded 4 in D2, 5 spots above Christian Brothers which beat Lincoln by 16 in January. Lincoln also is three spots ahead of No. 7 Atwater which beat CB by 17 in the Section final, but lost to Lincoln by nearly 20 in December. Examples abound throughout all divisions. Please make it make sense.

Head-to-head is very tricky.
For example, Acalanes beat SRV back in December, I think. But SRV was missing two starters.
So do we know the injury status and lineups for those head-to-head matchups? Is one night a better indication of a team's overall quality than a season's worth of results?

So the teams they beat don't get to advance??!!
And you can do this with girls.
Boys aijy missing a chance to keep playing. Ain't no way
Agree that one night/game shouldn’t be the ultimate determinative of a team’s quality. Is the selection committee comprised of commissioners from the various sections? Are there any guiding principles (in writing) used by the committee during the process?
I see that Pleasant Valley, champs of the Northern Section for 5 straight years, was “promoted” to D1 but has to travel to SM-Stockton in the opening round. They can’t be happy.
It's a big committee, including the section commissioners, but the exact makeup is unknown. The same group does the boys and girls in one long day.
CVC lost in the D1 3rd place game to Redwood and didn't qualify.
But no worries 4 of the 7 teams in NCS D6 advanced to the norcals where they don't play for a state championship. Much better than the top seed in D1 not getting the at-large berth like it would have in seasons past.
A team losing two straight in section playoffs as a 1 seed in a non open division bracket does not need to advance. What’s the point of that?
Just pointing out that Ferndale won TWO games to win d6.
Round valley and SVDP won ONE game in D6 to advance to norcals. One game!!!! I mean cmon!
