There was the potential for Man Valley and Glenelg to meet in the finals but for the unfortunate odds of a 4 way coin flip they get seeded 5th. It does seem unfair (someone is always going to feel they got stiffed in these situations) and we can all debate if that is right or not but any other seeding scenario would have resulted in a finals matchup of these two
Fairness for the top teams never was part of the equation for public schools. Just like in the classroom where they care very little about GT and AP kids, the MPSSAA just wants to include everyone. Much like in the classroom, many of the kids included on these bottom tier teams don't care about playoffs. In this everyone gets a trophy society, it is much more important to open the playoffs to every team than to spend any time or energy on making a decent playoff system.
